Engine hierarchy: 230 vs 320 vs 32 AMG

Mercedes-Benz SLK / SLC · driving

Owners frame the R170 range as three distinct cars. The supercharged 230 shoves you back when the blower spools; the V6 320 is a smoother, comfortable cruiser; and the supercharged SLK32 AMG is a different animal entirely, with a hand-built engine on forged internals and a beefed-up automatic.
