Mercedes Benz SLK 350 Tuning by Vath

The SLK is one sexy looking Mercedes in a while, but it’s no driver’s car. The AMG sound good on paper - more economical and powerful than the old generation - but we’re not convinced you’d have something to do with that power, and cylinder deactivation isn’t really the answer when for the fuel-saving question.

So the best SLK of the current bunch would have to be the 350, powered by a 306 hp 3.5-liter V6. This is quite impressive when you consider that unlike the six-cylider Audis and BMWs, this does not have forced induction.

For that extra kick and a little bit of chic, German tuning firm Vath has come up with its own version of the SLK 350. This boasts a power increase to 330 hp and 390Nm (288 lb-ft) of torque.

Other tech goodies include a new new sports exhaust system and an adjustable suspension that will allow you to lower the car by between 20 and 65 mm.

As part of a complete package that costs €25,192 in Germany, you also get 20-inch forged alloy wheels fitted with 235/30ZR20 tires on the front and 265/25ZR20 tires on the rear axle.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
