Not content to let its little sportster suffer the backhanded compliment of being called the "baby SLR," Mercedes gave the SLK roadster over to the lab-coats at AMG. What they created is an unassuming speedster that can plant a flag in any lane of the autobahn. Sporting a 355hp 5.5 liter V8, the SLK55 AMG is fast and sure-footed like its larger AMG counterparts, but playful as a puppy fetching sticks on the beach — a champion greyhound puppy, but a puppy nonetheless.
