Description
A tuned version of the Mercedes SLK 55 AMG was used as the Formula One safety car during the 2004 and 2005 season and was also the first Mercedes tuned by AMG’s Performance Studio to a Black Series model. Despite a manufacturer quoted time of 4. 9 seconds to 60mph, independent testers achieved a much lower acceleration time of just 4. 3 seconds. Putting a large capacity, hand-built, normally aspirated V8 into the small and shapely metal roofed convertible was a masterstroke. The popularity of the 55 AMG led Mercedes-Benz to continue production of the model, even after the 63 AMG engine was installed in other AMG cars.
