Toen jeremy clarckson de cls55 amg aan het testen was en wat aan het driften was, was er de melding dat de remmen oververhit waren, omdat het systeem elke keer nog bleef ingrijpen als er te snel werd ingestuurd.

“Upon a recent visit to Affalterbach I learned that AMG has a performance kit available for the SLK 55. The kit is made by AMG. It is 100% original AMG design and parts and only available through AMG-GbmH. It includes AMG headers, revised air-intake and re-programmed ECU. Its cost is about 11,000 euros and is only available to European customers. This kit will boost horsepower to 400 HP. I own an SLK 55 in the states and after driving this test vehicle I can tell you that the AMG modifications make a huge difference. This car feels much faster than a stock SLK 55 and E 55.

From the pictures you will notice the extensive use on carbon fiber. Interior (Doors and instrument cluster). Exterior (Mirrors and front brake cooling ducts). Also notice how AMG has replaced the standard shift buttons on the steering wheel with F1 style paddle shifters and the AMG racing seats. AMG also reprograms the transmission. AMG does away with the comfort mode. This vehicle has Sport1 mode, Sport 2 mode and Manual mode. They clam the shifts in the sport 2 mode are 50% quicker that the normal AMG Speedshift. I can personally attest that the shifts are crazy fast. They would not share performance specifications but the car feels like it could do 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and the quarter mile in the low 12’s. The interior modifications are extra and not included with the performance kit. This car is so cool.”
