Uncommon bond.

For 47 years, AMG has been creating championship racecars

and thoroughbreds for the street. Every trophy earned, and

each lesson learned, has shared the same starting line: an

engine crafted by the hands of its own master. “One man, one

engine” is more than a guiding philosophy — it’s a pedigree

of performance that’s evident throughout the car. And it’s

a promise made during the rigors of competition that every

Mercedes-AMG fulﬁlls even in the routine of a daily commute.

Is it a racecar for the road? No. It’s an automobile that can

conduct itself with absolute authority in any arena of driving.

SLK 55 AMG. It’s crafted in the AMG tradition

by a single pair of skilled hands. And yet the

5.5‑liter V‑8 of the SLK 55 is a technological

masterpiece, too. Its 415hp and 398lb‑ft of

torque can thrust you to 60mph in 4.5seconds.

Yet its breathtaking power output comes with

easy‑breathing beneﬁts like ultralow emissions

and up to 28highway mpg.

With light weight

and low friction, the Direct Injection V‑8 revs

freely, for lightning‑quick response across

a wide range. Its ECO Start/Stop and AMG

Cylinder Management can shut oﬀ four of its

cylinders — or even all eight — when they’re not

needed, then reignite them in 30milliseconds.

Modes for many moods. The 7‑speed AMG

SPEEDSHIFT

PLUS transmission oﬀers three

driving programs, including a Sport mode with

raised shift points. In Manual mode, aluminum

shift paddles command expertly rev‑matched

downshifts. Mellow in relaxed cruising, the

AMG Sport exhaust awakens with a growl at

startup, and unleashes a snarling crescendo

under acceleration and during gear changes

AMG-developed chassis. Torque Vectoring

Brake boosts control and conﬁdence, further

empowering the 3‑stage ESP

by assisting

the car’s rotation in corners. Staggered 18"

AMG 5‑spoke wheels

oﬀer an enticing peek

at the AMG brake hardware. All this capability

is delivered to the driver’s hands via an AMG

Sport steering wheel whose Nappa leather rim

features ﬂattened top and bottom sections.

Track-tuned. The AMG Handling Package revs

up the racing‑bred character of the SLK 55

even higher. It adds a limited‑slip diﬀerential,

unleashes the top speed to 174mph,

and lets

the driver rein it in with an AMG Performance

steering wheel featuring DINAMICA side grips.

At the package’s core, the AMG Performance

suspension’s sharper calibration is expressed

via AMG multispoke wheels in your choice of

sleek Silver or menacing Matte Black ﬁnishes.
