This R171-generation Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG is a compact yet potent modern roadster, which adds more aural drama with a vocal X-pipe exhaust. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.4-litre V8, producing around 265kW and driving the rear wheels via a seven-speed 7G-Tronic AMG Speedshift automatic transmission. The impressive power means the SLK 55 AMG can reach 100km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The odometer shows 114,053 kilometres, which is supported by its service history. This SLK 55 AMG is finished in Iridium Silver metallic over a Black and Anthracite Semi-Aniline Nappa leather-trimmed cabin with black Alcantara on the seat shoulders, black leather roll hoops, and its party-piece, a folding body-coloured hard-top metal roof. It rides on a set of 18-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, housing silver AMG-branded brake callipers and drilled brake discs, which fitted with Hankook Ventus Prime 3 tyres. The specification includes front and rear parking assistance, heated and electrically adjustable seats with ‘AirScarf’ neck warmers and driver memory functions, cruise control with speed limiter, dual-zone climate control, bi-xenon headlights with cleaning, and a COMAND infotainment system with a glovebox-mounted 6CD autochanger. The seller notes that the exhaust resonator has been replaced with an ‘X-Pipe’ exhaust system and the secondary catalytic converters have been removed. Accompanying is the owner’s manuals, stamped service history booklet, a selection of maintenance invoices, two keys, and the original resonator and catalytic converters.
