For those sitting at home and wondering what will is Mercedes up to these days, have no fear, ‘for I am here. It seems that they will be hooking up the new SLK with a diesel engine. The German car maker won’t make a special-designed engine, instead they will use the 2.2-liter "BlueEfficiency" 4-cylinder twin-turbo diesel that is currently under the hood of the C250 sedan.

A few tweaks will be made to make the car more environmental friendly, like particulate filter and rail injection. We will see if these modifications will make the new diesel SLK fit for the United States’ market, where all the hypocrites and trend-goers think that a car killed the ozone layer.
