The Mercdes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Tracksport is a lighter and more
powerful track-tuned version of the SLK
55 AMG.
The first 35 cars built were sent to Asia to be used in a one-make
race series 'The Ultimate Experience Asia'. However cars 36
and up will be available for road use - and even more powerful
than the race version. With 400 horsepower coming from the 5439cc
V8, the SLK 55 AMG Tracksport should reach just short of 190
mph, and get to 60 mph in around 4.5 seconds.
Modifications to the SLK 55 AMG Tracksport include:
- a lightweight fixed carbon
fiber roof
- redesigned intake duct
- free-flow exhaust system
- racing brake pads and larger cooling ducts
- stiffer adjustable suspension
- flared arches
- and various custom options on ordering from AMG
