Mercedes Benz Announces Super-SLK55When Carroll Shelby crammed a 289 cubic-inch Ford V8 into a miniscule British roadster, people called him crazy. Going a step further and dropping the 427 cubic inch Ford motor into the same car confirmed it. With over 450 horsepower at the wheels, lighting the fuse on one of these ultra-short wheelbase rockets was a frightening experience. But one cant help but wonder; what would a modern-day 427 Cobra look like? This; the new special series of Mercedes Benz SLK55. In normal Mercedes-Benz form, the SLK is a tame convertible powered by the buyers choice of either a 2.8- or 3.5-liter V6; the larger of which maxes out at a respectable although hardly earthshaking 268 horsepower. In AMG-tuned form, the little drop-top gets a far more sporting 5.5L V8 good for 355 horsepower, and now, thanks to even more AMG wizardry, this new version of the SLK55 boasts 400 horsepower. read more. SLK Special Series hard-top makes SLK 55 AMG even sportierMercedes-Benz is offering an AMG-developed limited-run Special Series SLK, with its folding hard-top replaced by a carbon fibre fixed roof to reduce weight. The SLK Special Series also has its 5.4-litre V8 tuned for 400bhp, 40bhp up on the output of the SLK 55 AMG on which it is based. Torque is also increased to 383lb-ft and 0-60mph acceleration now comes up in 4.5 seconds - although top speed remains limited to 155mph (or 186mph, with the extra-cost option offered in some countries). These mods have been achieved by the addition of a new exhaust system and air intake. The new model has been developed in response to requests for a more track-oriented car, more sports-focused than the SLK 55 AMG. Its suspension has therefore been substantially revised, with much stiffer springs, adjustable dampers, thicker anti-roll bars and further-lowered ride height, as well as extra strut bracing, composite brakes and new 19" wheels. read more. Local Car Dealer Brings $1.7 Million ‘Lemon’ LawsuitLocal luxury car dealer Mark Johnston sued DaimlerChrysler in Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday, claiming that his $1.7 million Mercedes AMG CLK-GTR Limited Edition Roadster died the first time he drove it. In what may be the biggest lemon lawsuit on record, the complaint names as defendants DaimlerChrysler AG, the cars manufacturer; Mercedes-AMG GmbH, the German subsidiary of DaimlerChrysler that produced the car; H.W.A. GmbH, a German company with which Mercedes-AMG collaborated in building the car; and Mercedes-Benz USA, the DaimlerChrysler subsidiary that services warranties provided by Mercedes-AMG. Johnston, co-owner of Grand Prix Motors in Mar Vista, alleges that he paid approximately $1.7 million to purchase the last of five Roadsters ever made and drove it only once for a short distance before it broke down. read more. REVIEW: BMW M6I've not always been very kind about BMW owners. While their cars are usually hard to fault - apart from the 1-Series, of course - they seem to be driven by angry businessmen and skinny women (role models: Alan Sugar and Teri Hatcher). In a rash moment in one piece, I may actually have branded all BMV drivers as "bad people". This was a stupid thing to say, for all sorts of reasons, not least because I used to own a BMW. My model had little in common with the new BMW M6 I tried this week, however. It was an old crock that had escaped from a scrapyard under cover of darkness and spent some time foraging in the woods before being trapped by the second-hand car dealer who sold it to me. It went very, very slowly. Because it had an iffy carburettor and dodgy brakes, it did this even when I would have preferred it to have stopped, so I often had to plan ahead to ensure there would be a bollard or wall to bring me to a halt, at which point I would jump out, lift the bonnet and fiddle with the carburettor until the engine died. read more.There isn't much sense for going to your library for Mercedes Benz G55 Amg 4x4 resources if you have a unfailing tie-in to the world wide web from your own house.
