Nothing says "my car is better than a Porsche Boxster" quite like the Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG. Not because it's more fun to drive, but because it's got a humiliating amount of power coming from its 5.5-liter AMG-tuned V8 engine.
This SLK 55 AMG R171 is from the previous generation, built from 2008. However, it's still more powerful than any Boxster, more powerful even than a 911 Carrera.

Mercedes believes engines shouldn't be "flat", and design shouldn't be boring. The formula of AMG body kit and F1-style nose is brought back into focus by the work of SchwabenFolia. The Germans have covered the SLK in sunrise orange, a new vinyl color with metallic and matte ambitions. It plays with people's imaginations and stops the little roadster from looking dull and dated.

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.
