Nurburgring Nordschleife in 8:14 mins.

here the SLK 55 AMG is nearly as fast as the much more powerful BMW M5, Viper SRT-10 or SL 65 AMG, even slightly fatser than the Alpina Roadster S or the Corvette Z06, beats the standadr SLK 55 AMG to 20 secs.!

the SLK 55 AMG Black Series is very agile, 1st it shows some understeer but finally some oversteer when accerlating out of a curve, if the track is bumpy, it takes some hectic work at the steering to keep it on track

the track time was achieved in automatic sport mode as the gear switches in manual mode take more time

Hochenheim short track in 1:14.4 mins.

here the SLK 55 AMG is nearly as fast as the Porsche 997 Carrera S and as fast as the Alpina Roadster S and the BMW M6

even at the short track it shows the same handling with understeer when braking into the curve and oversteer when acceleration out of the curve

Love this car

That is actually not so good time for a small car with 400HP on R tires - not to mention the price. And I guess it is a typo when they say it is 20 secs faster than std SLK55, it seems it is only 10 secs faster.

It's weird how this car hasn't had as much attention as the CLK 63 BS!

I saw a black SLK 55 the other day, reminded my how awesome it looks, and I'm sure the BS version looks even better!

First time seeing one in that color. Do they still make these or did they sell the requirement already?

I'll only say this: I want one!!!

Why? for the price, there are better cars to be had.

Just like that car a lot. I know there are better for the price, but i'm not talking about any other car in this thread, but SLK. My comment on the thread.
