A combo of a new SLK 55 AMG and a pre-facelift XFR, was parked together at the base of York Castle. This new SLK 55 looks in my opinion, a lot tougher than the previous generation, that was much more of a 'hairdressers' car. Over 400BHP in this 5.5 litre V8 powered SLK, totally throw's that claim away, this is a car that is more serious in performance. My first spotted...

    Really nice pictures, however I think the previous car was much sleeker.

    Very nice car and pictures! This car is one of the most understated cars. This is one of the best handling cars ever built.
