Nurburgring Nordschleife in 8:14 mins.

here the SLK 55 AMG is nearly as fast as the much more powerful BMW M5, Viper SRT-10 or SL 65 AMG, even slightly fatser than the Alpina Roadster S or the Corvette C6, beats the standadr SLK 55 AMG to 8 secs.!

the SLK 55 AMG Black Series is very agile, 1st it shows some understeer but finally some oversteer when accerlating out of a curve, if the track is bumpy, it takes some hectic work at the steering to keep it on track

the track time was achieved in automatic sport mode as the gear switches in manual mode take more time

Hochenheim short track in 1:14.4 mins.

here the SLK 55 AMG is nearly as fast as the Porsche 997 Carrera S and as fast as the Alpina Roadster S.

even at the short track it shows the same handling with understeer when braking into the curve and oversteer when acceleration out of the curve

I cant say Im impressed with the SLK55 BS, its very expensive and "only" capable of this. Why not save money and buy a standard SLK55 and add R-tires and I bet the standard SLK55 can do just as good as the Black Series on a track.

400ps = 400hp??

seriosly I think those comments are childish. If Im impressed I say so.
if you read my post im putting a good word for a standard SLK55.

compare acc with standard SLK55:

0-100 km/h 4.7 secs. (standard SLK55: 4,8 s)
0-160 km/h 10.1 secs. (standard SLK55: 10,8 s)
0-200 km/h 16.3 secs. (standard SLK55: 16,8 s)

and the car cost 107,300 EUR for a little roadster, there are other more intresting options out there for that price.

That car is a waste of money! The only 2 modern Mercedes that I have been impressed with are the CLS55/63 and so ar the umpcoming C63.

Those new black sereis are just a huge profit for a Merc. Why pay that when I can get a 997 Turbo or probably a pre owned 360 CS.
