From design to construction, all the Mercedes ride ons undergo strict quality control:

Available as a pedal or 6v electric, this Mercedes classic ride on was originally manufactured between 1952 and 1963. The Mercedes 300 SL is considered by some to be one of the most collectable Mercedes-Benz models in the world. Famous for its gull-wing doors and racing wins, the real car has been known to fetch up to $650,000 but you can own a piece of Mercedes history at a fraction of the price. Your child will be effortlessly cool in this fantastic ride-on replica of the legendary 300 SL.

The Mercedes 500 SL is also available in both pedal and electric versions. The 2008 SL represents a complete redesign, with a new front end and a single bar grill rather than the traditional three-bar effect. The pair of long powerdromes on the bonnet finish off the sleek, classy design.

The Mercedes SLK is a compact roadster that has been manufactured since 1997, and the name itself represents Mercedes' design goal - Sportlich (Sporty), Leicht (Light) and Kurz (Short). The latest version was given a substantial facelift with a new look front bumper, double grill and a more defined 'arrow' shape. All of these new features and details have been recreated in the beautiful child's version.

While this pedal ride-on is not based on a specific Mercedes-Benz model, the quality and durability remains the same. This cute pedal Fire Unimog is sure to last for years and keep your little ones happy for hours.

All our Mercedes kids cars come with a free, personalised driver's pack for your child. This includes a personalised MOT certificate, personalised registration documents, driver's licensed and numberplate sticker pack. Please click here to see more information on your free ride-on driver's pack.

Licensed Mercedes ride-ons are designed and produced alongside Mercedes themselves, meaning the quality and durability has been well tested.

All our Mercedes riding toys (excluding the Mercedes-Benz Fire Brigade Unimog) the have the same basic features:

The Mercedes-Benz Fire Brigade Unimog ride-ons are also made in Europe and offer the same level of craftsmanship. However their construction varies slightly to the Toys Toys licensed riding toys.

The 3+ rating on Mercedes kids cars is based on safety reasons rather than ability or size. Our Mercedes ride ons are well designed, so will allow many 18 month olds to reach the pedals and steer. They will probably also amaze you with their ability after a short time. However a young child may lack the judgement to avoid a tree or might start chewing small parts and for this reason the manufacturers recommend various age guidelines. The parent ultimately controls the environment the Mercedes riding toy is used in and understands the child better than anyone else. The manufacturers can only offer guidelines and their recommendation is based on the average child.

Purchasing one of our licensed Mercedes ride-ons (excluding the Mercedes-Benz Fire Brigade Unimog) gives you exclusive access to TotParts and a 1 year guarantee. Toys Toys build their riding toys to the highest standards, so we know they will last for years. Therefore we offer a 1 year guarantee, if anything goes wrong with your Mercedes kids car we will sort it out free of charge. Please click here to see more about TotParts.

The Mercedes-Benz Fire Brigade Unimogs are made by a different manufacturer, however the still have the same top-quality construction and 1 year guarantee. Any repairs will be undertaken by the manufacturer, rather than TotParts.

A Mercedes riding toy will offer your child years of fun and happy memories, as long as you ensure you follow safety guidance:

The 300 SL ('Super Leicht') Coupe is famously nicknamed the gullwing after the unusual swing-up doors. A gullwing is one of the rare instances in collector cars when the coupe is more valuable than its roadster counterpart.

With the Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR racer, the Mercedes factory team won all of the important races they were entered. Of all the races that they entered, they won all but one or two. Mercedes-Benz utilized the technology and information gathered from their racing program to create a road going car that was every bit as good as a racing machine. The car was given creature comforts, improved access through the doors and some structural changes and dubbed the 300SL. The Gullwing doors became the cars trademark and gave it the appearance of a exotic supercar. Its proven performance and superior handling were just as exotic as the design.

The engine was a fuel-injected 2996-cc six-cylinder engine capable of producing 215 horsepower. A four-speed manual gearbox sent power to the rear wheels while drum brakes provided the stopping power.

The Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class is a luxury roadster built by the German manufacturer Mercedes-Benz since 1997. The name was chosen to reflect the company's intentions for the car - that it be Sportlich (sporty), Leicht (light) and Kompakt (compact). To date there have been two generations of SLK.

The SLK is perhaps most famous for its retractable hardtop. While it did not pioneer this feature, the SLK revived it in modern automobiles. It was soon followed by the Peugeot 206cc, Lexus SC and the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class.

1997 - R170

The R170-platform SLK 230 Kompressor was introduced in 1997 for model year 1998 to compete with the Porsche Boxster and BMW Z3. Setting it apart was its folding hardtop, though its additional weight dented the performance of the 185 hp 2.3 L supercharged I4 engine and automatic transmission. The SLK was on Car and Driver's Ten Best list for 1997.

Very few toys or scale replicas of this car were produced and parts can also be a bit hard to come by in some markets.

A 5-speed manual transmission was added for 1999, but it was the introduction of a 215 hp 3.2 L V6 and 6-speed manual transmission in the 2001 SLK 320 that really brought the Sportlich to the car.

An AMG model was added in 2001, with a 354 hp supercharged version of the 3.2 L V6. This SLK 32 AMG was the best-performing SLK ever, and was a direct rival of the BMW M Roadster and Porsche Boxster S. It is only offered with automatic transmission. The SLK AMG engine is also hand built.

Not all Mercedes SLKs were built in Bremen, Germany, the SLK 320 being built in South Africa. The very first R170 Mercedes SLK was completed on January 29, 1997 and last on April 7, 2004.

Summary of all versions and engine specifications:

R170 Pre-facelift

SLK 200 - 2.0 L (1998 cc) 136 hp I4 engine, 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 9.3 seconds, top speed of 208 km/h (129 mph). NB Exported only to Portugal, Italy and Greece.
SLK 200 Kompressor - 2.0 L (1998 cc) 192 hp I4 supercharged engine, 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 7.7 seconds, top speed of 236 km/h (147 mph).
SLK 230 Kompressor - 2.3 L (2295 cc) 193 hp I4 supercharged engine, 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 7.4 seconds, top speed of 231 km/h (143 mph).
R170 With Facelift

SLK 200 Kompressor - 2.0 L (1998 cc) 163 hp I4 supercharged engine, 0-60 mph in 8.2 seconds, top speed of 223 km/h (138 mph). NB Not exported to North American markets.
SLK 230 Kompressor - 2.3 L (2295 cc) 197 hp I4 supercharged engine, 0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds, top speed of 240 km/h (148 mph).
SLK 320 - 3.2 L (3199 cc) 218 hp V6 engine, 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds, top speed of 245 km/h (152 mph).
SLK 32 AMG - 3.2 L (3199 cc) 354 hp V6 engine, 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, generally electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Maximum torque is 450Nm, of which 400Nm is available at 2300rpm. To achieve the superlative power output of 354 hp a Lysholm or "twin-screw" supercharger was fitted between the cylinder banks of the hand built V6 engine. While the engine uses the same block as the 320, virtually all the internal components are replaced with superior parts and the oil flow rate increased by 70% over the 320 engine, ensuring longevity even under hard use. The engines are generally reliable, the only consistently reported weakness being a tendency of the supercharger intercooler pump to fail. Modifications to take the power output up to and sometimes over 400hp are relatively easily and cheaply achieved, primarily by fitting a larger crankshaft pulley (thus turning the supercharger faster), free-flow air filters and exhaust systems. No reliability issues appear to have been reported consequent upon such modifications. The automatic transmission is also different to other SLKs' and ensures faster shifting (Mercedes claim faster than the best manual), lock-up in all gears, automatic downshift engine braking during hard deceleration and a feature that holds the transmission in the current gear during hard cornering. When new the SLK32 AMG was the fastest accelerating car ever produced by Mercedes Benz, leaving aside the SLR McLaren. AMG offered as an option an increased limited top speed of 280 km/h (155 mph). These vehicles were factory fitted with Y-rated tyres. There are reports of unlimited vehicles reaching speeds of 306 km/h (190 mph). While such claims should perhaps be approached with caution, Car & Driver report that the 136 kg (300 pound) heavier C32AMG is reputed to be capable of achieving 306 km/h (190 mph) using the identical engine but with a non-standard final drive. The SLK32 AMG is probably among the rarest of all SLKs produced to date, having been built in relatively small production numbers with a total of 4,333 produced. Production commenced in August 2000 and ended in March 2004. 979 units were retained for Germany. Production figures were: 2000, 10 units; 2001, 2193 units; 2002, 1336 units; 2003, 742 units; 2004, 52 units. Fewer than 300 were imported to the UK. Many Mercedes enthusiasts consider the SLK32AMG to be the closest thing to a "hairy sportscar" Mercedes has produced in recent years (Mercedes Enthusiast Magazine, Issue 45, July 2005) and more enjoyable to drive than the more refined SLK55 AMG.

2004 - R171

The SLK was updated in 2004 with a new Formula One-inspired appearance and serious performance. For 2005 the new R171-platform SLK was again on Car and Driver's Ten Best list, and it also won the Canadian Car of the Year's Best New Convertible award. Highlighting its potential appeal to women, New Zealand's Lucire magazine announced it as its 'Car to Be Seen in' for 2005. The current SLK is also built in Bremen, Germany. Both cars have been claimed to be fun to drive with the SLK350 going from 0-60mph in a short 5.4 seconds. There are rumours that Mercedes-Benz is going to produce a SLK 63 AMG model with their new 6.2L naturally aspirated engine designed from scratch by AMG division.

Mercedes SLK 55 AMG (R171)Models of the new SLK include:

SLK 200 Kompressor - 1.8 L 120 kW (163 hp DIN) I4 supercharged engine, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) 7.9 seconds, top speed of 143 mph. (not available in Canada and the US)
SLK 280 - 3.0 L (2996 cc) 170 kW (231 hp DIN) double overhead cam V6 engine, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) 6.3 seconds, top speed 155 mph. (starting in 2006 model year)
SLK 350 - new 3.5 L (3498 cc) 200 kW (272 hp DIN) double overhead cam V6 engine, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) 5.4 seconds, top speed 155 mph (electronically limited).
SLK 55 AMG - 5.4 L (5439 cc) 265 kW (360 hp DIN) V8 engine, 0-100 km/h (62 mph) 4.4 seconds, top speed 155 mph (electronically limited). A tuned version of this was used as the Formula One safety car, replaced by CLK 63 AMG at the beginning of 2006 Season.
