Mercedes on Monday added another power-packed AMG to its India line-up with the launch of the SLK55 AMG at Rs 1.26 crore ex-showroom, Delhi. This will be the eighth launch in India by Mercedes this year, about half of them being AMGs, and the most powerful SLK ever.
The roadster draws its power from a 5.5-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine that is worth 421PS of power at 6800rpm and a peak torque of 540Nm at 4500 rpm. This power is transmitted to rear wheels using a 7-speed transmission - AMG Speedshift Plus7G-Tronic - that offers three drive modes, namely Comfort, Sports and Manual. The SLK55 claims a 0-100kmph timing of 4.6 seconds while reaching a top speed of 250kmph.
Other AMG inclusions in terms of handling are the AMG rear axle differential lock, AMG high performance braking system, AMG direct-steer system, AMG sports suspension and an AMG performance steering wheel.
On the outside, the SLK55 has the typical AMG aesthetics such as wider fenders, low stance, quad tailpipes and enlarged air intakes. It also gets multi-spoke blackened AMG alloys with silver brake calipers, bi-xenon headlamps with intelligent light system to go with adaptive brake light flashing and Active Bonnet, illuminated AMG door sills and a panoramic roof which can turn transparent or dark at the push of a button.
