The high-performance model SLK55 AMG features a 5.5L V8 engine producing a massive 355 hp. Key features include Mercedes' Airscarf neck-heating system, a hard-top convertible roof, sporty suspension tuning, and a respectable suite of safety features including antilock brakes, stability control, and front side airbags.
