Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG
EXTERIOR:-
The SLK 55 AMG – the epitome of a roadster with the heart of a top athlete. Evidence of the power harnessed by its AMG engine is hinted at on the outside by the V8 lettering on the front wings. A small detail that marks the prelude to a wealth of AMG-specific design features. The car is encased within the AMG front and rear aprons as well as the side sill panels, all of which exude a distinct feeling of power. This outfit is exclusively rounded off by a lower cross strut, painted in high-gloss black, the simulated side air outlets at the front and the diffuser look at the rear. What’s more, the radiator grille louvre painted in high-gloss black lends the SLK 55 AMG an even more powerful aura. So connoisseurs will be left in no doubt as to the car’s AMG genealogy.
INTERIOR:-
Few things can match the dynamism of the exterior. But the interior succeeds in doing so. With high-quality materials to create luxury and, above all, sportiness à la AMG.
Driving enjoyment begins the moment you sit down – one of the reasons why driving the SLK 55 AMG is such a pleasure. That’s because the AMG sports seats offer optimum support when accelerating or negotiating twisting roads at speed. Control of the vehicle is assured by the AMG performance steering wheel with aluminium shift paddles, which responds willingly to each steering input and conveys it straight to the Direct-Steer system.Road speed and rpm are monitored by the AMG instrument cluster, incl. RACETIMER, while the optional AMG-specific analogue clock in an IWC design reminds you of the time, which you will more than likely be happy to forget when driving the SLK 55 AMG.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:-
The heart of a sports car is its engine. In the SLK 55 AMG, the AMG 5.5-litre V8 engine beats impressively in tune with the AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission, offering an output of 310 kW (421 hp), a torque of 540 Nm and the best fuel consumption figures.
The SLK 55 AMG owes its outstanding driving dynamics to a host of willing helpers. The Direct-Steer system, for instance, makes for precise steering manoeuvres, while ESP® Dynamic Cornering Assist 1 allows controlled cornering at the critical limits. In this case, the inner rear wheel is braked specifically for a brief period, allowing the car to bank into the bend, thus enhancing both agility and active safety. The AMG sports suspension, equipped with AMG-specific springs, dampers and torsion bar, also helps to achieve this effect. To tame the engine’s incredible power, the SLK 55 AMG is fitted with the AMG high-performance brake system. The front brakes feature 4-piston fixed callipers with internally ventilated and perforated 360 x 36 mm discs for short stopping distances, while the rear brakes have 1-piston floating callipers with 330 x 22 mm discs. Because driving enjoyment is also about stopping at the right moment.
Although the SLK 55 AMG is already unique, it can be further individualised in the Performance Studio. Various equipment options can be selected to bring the sporty, expressive appearance and outstanding performance even further to the fore.
A visit to the AMG Performance Studio represents the crowning glory for any AMG Mercedes. Various equipment options make the SLK 55 AMG an even sportier proposition, a case in point being the Handling package comprising compound front brake discs, performance suspension,
a rear axle differential lock for optimum roadholding and the performance steering wheel trimmed with Microfibre in the grip area.
Equally expressive are the 45.7 cm 10-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels – painted in either titanium grey with a high-sheen finish or matt black with a rim flange sporting a high-sheen finish. Those wishing to drive the car at up to 280 km/h won’t want to miss out on the Driver’s package (including accompanied participation in driver training at the AMG Driving Academy).
The AMG Performance Studio in Affalterbach can also meet other customer requests – including the production of one-off models.
