[/caption]"Social", the term is to provide at the time of resource conservation, climate change and CO2 requirements for high performance sports car drivers sometimes discontent - at least in Germany. Feeling great is that you can when driving a vehicle like the answer to consumption, which tends to fit a compact car. Low thirst and a normal performance promises defeat now with the new Mercedes SLK 55 AMG from the company in-house tuning. Small roadster, the normal version since the beginning of summer in the trade, is a newly developed eight-cylinder engine (422 hp), not only to perform SLK ever, but its potential g with a fuel consumption average of only 8.4 liters (CO2 emissions: 195 / km combined) can. In relation to the value of a respectable power. The predecessor to spend 30 percent more.
Without digging deep into their bag of tricks, this is not natural. Under the motto "Have fun with eight and four driving" the car maker Affalterbach served as the technology that Mercedes has introduced more than a decade on the market: cylinder deactivation. Does using "Zas" system called the S-Class (model series W 220). Between 1998 and 2002 he was offered to eight-cylinder 500 and the S V12 S 600 was not long, however, we take this option of the program - due to lack of demand. Save on fuel is not customer focused.

[/caption]AMG has been pushing this idea together with the Group Scheffler and new pathways. Technically, nothing is as before. "Instead of having a mechanic, we now switch from four of the eight-cylinder hydraulic" says Tobias Moers, Head of Development at AMG overall vehicle, "and if necessary again to within 30 milliseconds." Cars running in cruising mode, or if performance is not demanded, only works every other cylinder. When you step on the gas pedal again directly in the hands of full power. Note the connection and disconnection is nothing. Only in the cockpit screen show small icons "ECO4" in economy mode.
But despite all laudable intentions to save the company and the quality of the familiar comfort of a Mercedes roadster, SLK 55 AMG is also equipped with a thoroughbred sports car. Just wanted to write checks for customers at least € 72 590 - and be rewarded with exceptional driving performance. Especially the 540 Newton meters, the V8 in the 4500 U / min through a seven-speed automatic in the direction of the rear wheel, sending it in themselves. The desire for acceleration is implemented as a spontaneous and always accompanied with a magnificent eight-cylinder rumble - preferably with a top-down - that there is potential for acute addiction. 4.6 seconds to sprint from zero to 100 km / h is a Mercedes. There are also targeted sharp steering and suspension tuned. Both allowed cornering speeds that far exceed normal car drivers everyday and feel the car seems to fit with the asphalt. AMG Roadster also the problem will be lost on the track looks good. Especially when ordered for 4641 "Handling Package" €. It also includes a limited slip differential, carbon brakes on the front wheels, and on the steering wheel on the grippy AMG Performance leather / Alcantara.
Externally, the AMG version of the third edition of the SLK is different from the normal counterparts, mainly because of the typical styling attachments to the front, side and rear. The new front fascia features larger breathing hole, black lights and AMG-specific daytime driving lights. For a touch of myth SLS to make the lattice wider with the dominant star-clips and chrome-plated gills in front fenders. And by whom it is just outdated, showing the rear diffuser and two chromed twin tailpipes. When the dealer's first SLK 55 AMG will be available in January. Whether in the near future which will continue to internally store M152-called eight-cylinder even in "normal" Mercedes-catchment model is yet to be decided. Technical and entrepreneurially but all the evidence.
