We’ve been bringing you spy photos of the next-generation 2011 Mercedes SLK-Class for quite some time now, and today we’ve finally gotten our hands on spy shots showcasing the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK AMG. Tell-tale signs this is the AMG variant of the 2011 SLK include the monstrous quad exhaust and larger brakes. We have yet to receive confirmation on the engine Mercedes-Benz will choose to use to power the future SLK AMG, but it will likely be Mercedes’ new 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8. If the speculation turns out ot be correct, expect power output of around 400-450 horsepower – about 90 horsepower more than the current SLK55 AMG which uses a naturally aspirated 5.5-litre V8.
Based on earlier spy photos of the standard SLK-Class, we can expect the interior to take design cues from the Mercedes-Benz SLS, with the typical AMG enhancements – sport steering wheel, sport seats, carbon fiber accents, etc.
As always, we will keep updated as soon as we know more about the AMG variant of the 2011 Mercedes SLK-Class; in the meantime, you can check out more 2011 SLK AMG spy photos in the gallery below, and then head over to Car Advice for the full article.
