MERCEDES BENZ SLK AMG

After a few years and a big impact on the sport-compact premium segment, the SLK 55 AMG received a facelifted version in 2008.

Forget the SLK 55 AMG when you are looking at an SLK 55 AMG Black Series. Apart from some regular parts, the Black Series was a completely different car, from top to bottom.

After the introduction of the successful 5.5-liter AMG engine on other models from Mercedes-Benz, the German car-maker squeezed the big V8 unit inside the engine bay of the SLK model.

In the 2000, Mercedes-Benz decided to do a facelift for its small coupe-cabriolet SLK. In the same time, it throw on the market the SLK 32 AMG version, which was a different kind of roadster. Compared to it other siblings, it looked just like a trim level. It had 17” light-alloy wheels fitted as standard, oval pipes in the rear and bigger front and rear bumper. On top of that, it added a small lip on top of the trunk lid. But the differences were higher than that.
