2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK prototype spied

These crystal clear images of the heavily disguised prototype reveal the new model to be much sharper and more upright than the current model, also losing its F1-inspired front end.

When it debuts, expect the new SLK to fall in line with current Mercedes design trends which have already been applied to the C-Class and E-Class range.

New to the range will be LED daytime running lights, with a metal folding roof to remain as standard.
