Didn't know these existed

I didn't know about them either but I heard it drive past and knew I needed it.

Handles. Surprisingly well for SLK, guess the Mechanical LSD rather than the standard electricery helps. tick.
That is seriously mental. Once saw the Kleemen version of the previous incarnation. Looked extremely subtle from the outside. The driver did a little drive by demo. It was insanely powerful. Loved the concept.

Just read the evo review. Mad bit of kit. Well done. Has the value dropped in line with other slk's of this era ?. Ta.

cramorra - The sound is fabulous. My wife was in a room at the back of the house when my friend pulled up outside. She almost ran to the front window to see what was making the noise. She loved it and she doesn't particularly enjoy cars.

123Go - I would love to give a review of my first proper drive but fear for my licence if 'they' read it.

That's fantastic!

Harmon Kardon hi fi and proper climate control too, nice.

Interesting that it was the facelift fog lights and exhaust tips. Guessing the fogs are part of the AMG bodykit perhaps.

Phenomenal car though, and must be astonishing on the road. What were the figures for these?

ARI to put it in perspective
In the dash to 60mph
My standard car is 27% slower
His shaves one second off the time - doing it in 3.7

Nice to see, it's subtle and ready to surprise, with no exterior badges either.
Congratulations WCA
