Mercedes-Benz has
announced pricing for the most powerful SLK of all time, the SLK 55 AMG.
This exclusive
high-performance pinnacle of the SLK range is now available to order for a
highly competitive on-the-road price of £54,950.
It is powered by a
new, naturally aspirated, direct-injection version of AMG's charismatic
5.5-litre V8 engine,
|  | driving the rear wheels through a responsive seven-speed
AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission. The new V8 engine
develops 421hp at 6,800rpm and 540Nm of torque at 4,500rpm, ensuring extremely
rapid acceleration: 0-62mph takes just 4.6 seconds on the way to a limited top
speed of 155mph.
The standard
specification includes AMG body styling with exclusive SLK 55 AMG front and
rear aprons and side skirts, AMG high-performance internally ventilated and
perforated disc brakes, AMG sports suspension, Nappa leather upholstery,
18-inch five-spoke AMG alloy wheels, the Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Light
System, COMAND Online with Media Interface, a DAB digital radio, AMG Cylinder
Management System and ECO stop-start function. Advanced safety features include
PRE-SAFE, NECK-PRO, ATTENTION ASSIST and HEADLAMP ASSIST.
Options specific to
the SLK 55 AMG are headed by the AMG Performance Package of revised suspension
and brakes with a rear differential lock (£4,105) and the AMG Driver's Package,
which raises the limited top speed and includes attendance at an AMG ‘Power and
Passion' driver event (£2,755). | | |
