Following the announcement of revisions across the Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster range, Mercedes-Benz has now revealed an update for the SLK 55 AMG.

The car features a redesigned front apron with a more pronounced arrow-shape including the modified Mercedes star, enlarged air dams and a black-painted transverse fin on the lower section. The large, round foglamps with chrome surrounds are now positioned further outwards. Specific AMG bodystyling also includes side skirts, the rear apron with a black insert and the spoiler lip.

The SLK 55 AMG’s 5.5-litre 360 bhp AMG eight-cylinder engine develops 510 Nm of torque, which enables the two-seater to accelerate from zero to 62 mph in just 4.9 seconds, reach the 124 mph mark in 17.5 seconds and achieve an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.

The New-Generation SLK 55 AMG Roadster will go on sale in April 2008. UK pricing will be confirmed early in the new year.
