Performance[]
v2.2[]
The Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG accelerates pretty quickly due to its high-power nitro boost, which does come at the expense of subpar nitro efficiency, top speed and handling. Overall, the SLK 55 isn't a very good car to use, considering the stats and for what it's worth. However, this car is particularly useful in TLE events in which top-mid C class cars are used, along with the Acura NSX 2005.
