The SLK At Its Most Extreme

Giancarlo Perlas February 19, 2013

In Guangzhou City, which is located in the Guandong Province of China, you will find one of the most extreme makeovers ever done to a Mercedes-Benz car. Though it is no longer noticeable, the car used is a Mercedes-Benz R171 SLK. Many say that the design is a hybrid of a car and a fighter jet. But for me, it’s more like a superhero express which is designed to match the futuristic features of the current Batmobile. The extreme Mercedes-Benz SLK Creation was made possible by XZT. The body package includes a modified front bumper, tires, lights, skirts, alloys, complete customization in the back and addition of Lamborghini doors. It… Continue Reading »

Listen to the sound of the V8 as it starts up and the driver blips the throttle. But despite being a 5.5 liter V8 with an output of more than 420 horsepower, this car is thoroughly modern and responsible. Firstly, its F1-inspired Cylinder Management System allows up to half of the engine’s cylinders to pump just air for the best possible fuel efficiency. And speaking of efficiency, the 2013 SLK 55 AMG is 30 percent improved over the… Continue Reading »
