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." |
