In and around Orlando, Mercedes-Benz drivers will be on the
edge of their seats waiting for this model to arrive at their local Mercedes
showroom.
This time around, the 2012 SLK55 AMG
sports a brand new, hand-built, naturally aspirated V8 engine that will have
you pinching yourself thinking that you are racing in a Formula 1 race.
Fast & Powerful
One look under the hood and in and around Kissimmee, Mercedes fans will be in awe. The 2012 SLK55 AMG engine produces 398 lb-ft of torque, 415 horsepower and can go from 0 to 60 mph in a lightening fast 4.5 seconds. Think that is impressive? You can hit an electronically-limited top speed of a 155 mph!
You'll want to feel safe and stable behind the wheel with all of that speed, and some of the best brakes in the business along with state-of-the-art steering technology certainly get the job done. The SLK55 AMG comes equipped with Torque Vectoring Brakes as well as the Electronic Stability Program and AMG Direct-Steer technology so you will never lose control behind the wheel.
Fuel Efficient
With all of the power and speed, we are sure that fuel efficient is probably the last thing that comes to mind. However, in Orlando, Mercedes-Benz drivers who seek more fuel efficient vehicles will be pleasantly surprised with this sports car.
The 2012 SLK55 AMG boasts a 30%
improvement in fuel efficiency compared to its predecessor through the use of
the latest green technology that can be found in some of the world's top race
cars. Features such as three different shift modes: Controlled Efficiency (C),
Sport (S), and Manual (M) make these gains possible by shutting off some of the
engine's cylinders when for instance you are stopped at a traffic signal.
Stylish
To go along with its stellar performance, the 2012 SLK55 AMG also brings some serious style. In Kissimmee, Mercedes drivers will be thrilled with modern and aggressive styling touches such as the spoiler, chrome tailpipes and AMG LED lights along with special AMG badge detail.
The 2012 SLK55 AMG is slated to arrive in U.S. dealerships in early 2012. Be sure to stop by for the latest details on the newest member of the AMG-Class!
