Finally good news for AMG fans ... like me
The SL55 AMG can now be ordered with the optional perfromance pack, which includes:
1) deeper front intakes
2) revised engine cooling
3) High-performance brakes
4) Lightweight alloys
5) fat leather steering wheel
6) revised sports suspension
7) Limiter set to 188mph (300+km/h)
8) And finally a sports biased Limited slip differential
which lowers the 0-100km/h time from 4.4s to 4.1s
Do not forget the new car has a quicker steering rack, more efficient kompressor design and is lighter than the old version.. absolutely fantastic
also 517bhp/730nm
the price for the performance pack is 15400euro on top of the 127000euro base price
