If you think its heavy bucks on Mercedes extra premium petrol, its your day.
While Porsche reportedly mulls the idea of a four-cylinder Boxster and Audi offers a TDI version of its iconic TT, Mercedes-Benz is now reportedly preparing to offer a diesel engine in its next-generation SLK.
The same 2.2-liter "BlueEfficiency" 4-cylinder twin-turbo diesel currently offered in the C250 sedan, where it claimed just 138g/km of carbon dioxide.
The common rail injnection technologies now common among the most advanced diesel engines make them a viable, eco-friendly option for open-air motoring.
Unfortunately, no mention was made whether or not the diesel SLK will be available in the U.S., which is a tough question for all automakers to answer when it comes to diesels thanks to stricter diesel emissions standards in California and other states compared to the rest of the country.
To mention about its availability in India would be quite ludicrous, but lets just say that the dream is alive.
