Specifications
Consider the SLK55 a heat-seeking missile for two, only more luxurious. Thank the mad scientists at AMG, Mercedes' high-performance arm, who have molded the sweet SLK into the new SLK55. It gets a 355-hp V-8, a racier body, sport suspension and huge brakes.
A luxe interior is capped with a power hardtop -- drop it to enjoy the Airscarf, which shoots warm, cozy air out of the headrests. Then there's the high-tensile steel, magnesium and aluminum construction, which cuts weight and boosts safety (pop-up roll bars add protection). And you can shift through all seven speeds using steering-wheel buttons. Sold? We know -- we had you at "Airscarf."
