AMG Stars Unveiled in Sydney
MULGRAVE, AUSTRALIA – Oct 18, 2012: The AMG Performance Studio, which develops and produces limited numbers of individual AMG vehicles, in conjunction with Mercedes-Benz Australia has developed three very special show cars specifically for the 2012 Australian International Motor Show in Sydney.
SLK 55 AMG
The SLK 55 AMG is the perfect embodiment of the new
AMG brand claim of "Driving Performance": in the compact high-performance
roadster segment there is nothing to compare to its combination of tangible
driving dynamics, superior sportiness, unique high-technology and low fuel
consumption. The SLK 55 AMG accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4.6
seconds, and reaches a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited).
Its newly developed AMG 5.5-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine with cylinder shut-off system combines ultimate performance with the lowest possible consumption levels. The V8 Roadster produces a maximum output of 310 kW and maximum toque of 540 Nm.
Exterior options readily available including the Handling package and
the following AMG Performance Studio extras:
C 63 AMG Coupe
The C 63 AMG Coupe has an optional Performance
Pack and comes with the following AMG Performance Studio
extras:
SLS AMG Roadster
The special paint on the SLS AMG Roadster on
display at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney “brings
new meaning to the word metallic” is called ‘Coarse
Silver’ and was coordinated with the Centre of Excellence and AMG
Performance Studio.
The SLS AMG Roadster has a 6.3-litre V8 with a peak output of 420 kW at 6800 rpm and makes the open-top SLS one of the most powerful sports cars in its segment. This naturally aspirated engine generates its maximum torque of 650 newton metres at 4750 rpm. The open-top SLS AMG accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, reaches 200 km/h in 11.3 seconds and has a top speed of 317 km/h (electronically limited) – which means that the Roadster has a performance comparable to the gullwing variant.
