About the SLK 200 Kompressor R171

The 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 Kompressor R171 is a rear-drive turbocharged roadster of 1,390 kg with 161 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 116 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.56 s. Against the 2,939 cars in the set it is the 2,603rd quickest to 60 mph, and the 231st quickest of the 255 Mercedes-Benzs here. Its 89.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 Kompressor R171 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-09-02. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
