It’s clear as soon as you see the exterior: we couldn’t put any more SLK into this car. The SLK 55 AMG interprets the sporty look of the classic roadster more aggressively and uncompromisingly than ever. The AMG 5.5-litre V8 engine with 265 kW (360 hp) makes for the highest class of driving enjoyment. The SLK 55 AMG is equipped as standard with the innovative AMG SPEEDSHIFT 7G-TRONIC with steering-wheel gearshift for particularly rapid gearshifting. With it – and in combination with the AMG high-performance braking system and AMG sports suspension – the SLK 55 AMG achieves maximum agility.

The bodystyling complements the performance. This includes an AMG front and rear apron, as well as side skirts in a titanium grey finish and high-sheen 18-inch multi-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels, the AMG sports exhaust system with two chromed twin tailpipes, plus an AMG rear spoiler.

The vehicle’s interior also features typical AMG design – from the sports seats in finest nappa leather to the AMG sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles in silver aluminium, and the AMG instrument cluster (including RACETIMER).
