On my way into work this morning I was behind a silver SLK 32 (the jerk cut me off!); I assume it's an AMGed SLK 320.

Does anyone here know anything about the performance of these creatures? Or the price? I'd imagine that AMG took an SLK 320 and made a real sports car out of it.

Did it say AMG on the back? And I agree, not much of a true bred sports car, but it's got a mean engine in it if it was the AMG. I'd take one of those!

 

Yes.

 

My friend just got one of those... it's crazy man. Supercharged V6 making something just shy of 350 horses I believe. Mags all report 0-60 in under 5 seconds. It's an automatic, but it is one quick automatic at that... I do like the look of the wheels on it though... I think it's the best looking SLK to date.. But still looks like a chick car. Just some info for ya..

 

Here's what I could find on www.mercedes-benz.com:

Power: 260 kW @ 6,100 rpm (361 hp)
Torque: 450 Nm @ 4,400 rpm (332 ft-lb)
Acceleration: 0 - 100 kph in 5.2 sec (0 - 62 mph)
Top speed: 250 kph (155 mph)

New cars at Yahoo! says 349 hp and $54,900 base price.

PDQ!
