Mercedes AMG and Ducati are giving us the second fruit of their passion: after we’ve met the CLS 63 AMG & Diavel pair, it is now time to enjoy a new couple: the SLK 55 AMG & Streetfighter 848.
The special SLK 55 AMG now uses the same color scheme as the Ducati bike (“Streetfighter yellow” and back) and also comes with a matching interior. Inside the car, we get a black Nappa leather finish that uses contrasting yellow stitching, while the carmaker used yellow LEDs to illuminate the door sill plates.

The tech side of both the car and bike was left untouched, which means that the Ducati still fights the streets with 132 hp, while the SLK 55 AMG brings 422 hp to this battle. The adjacent SLK is now just a demonstration vehicle, but AMG Performance Studio will offer the aforementioned goodies as an optional feature if the company registers enough demand.
