The SLK has added horse power and technical innovations with a bolder appearance to in crease sales to men. The SLK55 AMG is equipped with a 5.5-liter V8 engine rated at 362 horsepower and 376 pound- feet o f torque, paired with the new AMG Speed shift seven- speed transmission. It’s easily distinguished by AMG styling cues, 18-inch AMG wheels, an AMG sport steering wheel with gearshift buttons, and comes with an AMG suspension, exhaust and brakes.
