This 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic with a Black Leather and Alcantara interior. It is powered by a big 5.4-liter single-cam V8. And this engine has been hand-built by AMG to deliver 355 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque to the SLK's rear wheels. The SLK 55 AMG is also refreshing because it's old-school and unique. It's a roadster in the classic long-bonnet, short-cabin form, rear-drive and powered by a naturally aspirated engine. Sounds tantalisingly simple. And it's special because no rival maker has dared to shoehorn a massive V8 engine into a tiny two-seater. It's powerplant has AMG Cylinder Management, which shuts down four of the eight cylinders under light load. The Cylinder Management works between 800-3600rpm and you have to have the car in the least aggressive of its three driving modes, 'C', which used to stand for Comfort but now apparently means 'Controlled efficiency.Special AMG steering system and modified suspension.The stability control features three stages, including completely off for track driving, & the AMG braking system features 'torque vectoring', which helps steer the car through fast corners by subtly applying brake pressure to one side or the other. Standard equipment includes sun-reflecting Nappa leather upholstery, heated seats, Harmon Kardon surround-sound audio and Airscarf neck warmers & the Vario folding roof remains a big selling point.
