Bought this yesterday and thought I would share some pics

[wca]

SLK 55AMG Kleemann S8
I like it, a lot.

[897sma]

Very nice

[Dog Star]

What a beast!

[wca]

The speedo has the face from a KPH speedo but converted to show MPH. So what? So I will have to do over 300mph to use all the dial. 70mph hardy uses 1/4 of the needle travel.

Is that supercharged?

[Bradders901]

Is it mental quick?

[wca]

Supercharged. Tick
Mental quick. Tick
Huge grins. Tick
596bhp. Tick
Handles. Surprisingly well for SLK, guess the Mechanical LSD rather than the standard electricery helps. tick.

Is it a full on S8?

[wca]

Apparently so

596hp?!?!

OP you wasn't lurking around Andover in that were you?

[wca]

bmthnick1981 - Yes, not enough?

I might have been through Andover, I pressed the loud pedal in Southampton and then just shut my eyes and screamed.

Actually, I haven't been through Andover yet. Mainly played around the New Forest and a trip down to Poole yesterday.

It is lively in the rain.

I was behind an identical one yesterday in Andover & it was stunning! I was trying to get him to have a "play" even though I knew it would leave me for dust, he didn't want to know.

If it was me, I would have ;-)

Good man!

[safehandsgk1]

Yum. Oye Waaant Daaat!!

[aka_kerrly]

Now that is superb!

Just think how many people will be surprised if you said it had 300hp let alone nearly double.

[wca]

In a safe, responsible, restrained and legal manner obviously. ;-)

At least adequate / sufficient I would have thought! Didn't know these existed.
