About the Mercedes SLK R170 Vivianite Green Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes SLK R170 reproduces the 1996 roadster in Vivianite Green, a striking 1990s shade. Diecast build with typical opening features covers the model that brought a folding metal roof to a mainstream Mercedes convertible for the first time.

The R170 SLK is often overshadowed by its bigger SL sibling, but it was genuinely first with the folding hard top that later spread across the whole Mercedes convertible range.

Norev's Diecast Handling of a Compact 1990s Roadster

This SLK's short, tightly proportioned body leaves less room to disguise a mediocre tool, and Norev's diecast holds the R170's compact stance and rounded tail well, with the reassuring zinc alloy weight collectors expect from the brand's mainstream range. Vivianite Green is a bold, distinctly 1990s metallic that few current SLK successors would ever wear, and it gives this model genuine shelf presence against the silvers and blacks that dominate most modern roadster replicas. Norev keeps interior detailing simple but accurate, dashboard and seats picked out cleanly rather than textured in fine relief, which suits the model's accessible price point. As a small, well-tooled diecast of a genuinely distinctive period roadster, it earns its place without needing an elaborate finish.

The R170 SLK's Engineering Legacy

The SLK R170 launched in 1996 as the car that made a folding steel roof commercially viable on a mainstream convertible, a mechanism Mercedes would later carry into the SL and other roadsters across the range. It gave buyers coupe-like security with open-top appeal at a genuinely accessible price for the badge, a formula that sold strongly through the late 1990s. On a roadsters-themed shelf, this SLK works well as the engineering starting point for that folding-hard-top story, the small car that proved the concept before Mercedes scaled it up.
