The SLK55 AMG will wear the same design as its lesser siblings, with the exception of a different front apron and dark-tinted headlamps.












The 5.5-litre AMG developed eight-cylinder engine, which has an output of 265 kW/360 hp and develops 510 newton metres of torque delivers electrifying performance: the two-seater warps from zero to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, reaches 200 km/h mark in 17.5 seconds and has a top speed (electronically limited) of 250 km/h. Power is transferred by the new AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC transmission with steering wheel gearshift paddles.

A new ergonomic sports steering wheel with three-spoke design sits in the interior of the new SLK55 AMG. The grip area is specially shaped and lined with perforated leather, while the vertical spoke is embellished by a silver-coloured insert. Two aluminium AMG shift paddles completes the sporty look of the steering wheel. The AMG instrument cluster now carry a revised speedometer scale with silver/red needles to improve readability.

The SLK55 AMG will go on sale in Europe next March.
