Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Test - DRIFT, MAX, GREAT

Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG Test The SL55 AMG version was released in 2002. The new model has only slight visual differentiators, the most noticeable is the three-slat grille rather than the four-slat version used previously. The top speed is limited to 155 mph (249 km/h), but can be extended to 186 mph (299 km/h) for an additional cost.[16] The 6.3 litre V8 replaced the current engine for the 2009 model year. Upon release in 2002 this was for its time the fastest automatic car in the world. This was before the SLR Mclaren hit the market in 2003--present. The news that the SL55 AMG will not be in production has upset thousands of car fans, including Top Gear presenters. Jeremy Clarkson owned one of the very first SL55 AMG's.
