The increasingly popular Mercedes SLK 55 AMG two-seater roadster is now even quicker than before with the high revving 294kW/400hp V8 engine. The combination of a lower vehicle weight and a high-performance AMG naturally aspirated 8-cylinder engine guarantees first-class driving performance: the acceleration from zero to 100km/h requires only 4.5 seconds, which compares well with the standard vehicle's 4.9 seconds. Other performance benchmarks include the 0-200km/h dash, which takes 15.5 seconds, a good 2.0 seconds quicker than the standard vehicle, at 17.5 secs.

The non-retractable hardtop of the two-seater is also made of CRP; the black central part with carbon fibre structure provides attractive optical effects. Mercedes also explains that by discarding of the vario roof (including the hydraulics) the car's centre of gravity has been lowered, and a notable reduction in weight was also achieved. For a Mercedes-Benz, this vehicle is quite skinny - the SLK 55 AMG has with a kerb weight of 1495kg. This means that the power/weight ratio has improved from 4.3 to 3.7 kg/hp.
