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

You really do make me laugh, settle for a M3 because you couldn't stretch your legs in the E55, it is because of your darth vader costume?
