Latest Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG review Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery Thundering performance, AMG styling, superb engine, sharp handling Not as nimble as a Porsche Boxster, slow-witted manual mode New price range: £51,595 - £53,790 Used price range: £4,838 - £11,711 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 4 out of 5 Last time the Mercedes-Benz SLK received the AMG treatment, it was fitted with a supercharged 3.2-litre V6 engine. The second-generation gets a substantially larger V8. It may be badged 55 but it actually uses a normally aspirated 5.4-litre engine with 360bhp. However, thanks to the light weight of the roadster, it has superb acceleration and pace, making it great fun to drive.The extra AMG body kit and larger wheels suit the SLK shape well and it also has some exquisite detailing inside, while build quality is second to none. It's expensive to run, but as the ultimate SLK, it's a superb convertible.
