Hamann’s showpiece for the 2011 Geneva Motor Show is a strikingly re-styled Mercedes SLS AMG. Not only its name, Hawk, takes some getting used to, its look will not be to the taste of everyone. But the tuner has certainly given the sports model with the gull-wing doors a serious technical upgrade.
With the new SLK Mercedes model is hoping to counter the image of this model as a car for the ladies. It is fitting that AMG have boosted the power to a very masculine 422 horsepower.
The tuner crew at PP Exclusive present a very low, very wide and naturally very loud version of the SL-Class. This is a car originally designed as a glamourous and elegant car… but this SL R230 is now something quite a bit different.
At the weekend what we really want do is relax. The Mercedes SLK 55 AMG is the perfect roadster to take out and thoroughly enjoy relaxed driving. It’s a car with plenty of push, demanding little fuel and promising lots of motoring pleasure. And the cylinder shut-off feature is a big part of the story.
