KLEEMANN SLK 55K S8
596 Hp, 770 Nm and zero to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds!
 KLEEMANN presents yet another high-performance car without comparison. Based on the new SLK 55 AMG from Mercedes-Benz, the car produces a power output of 596 Hp and 770 Nm with a KLEEMANN Kompressor System and a Stage 8 engine upgrade. The KLEEMANN SLK 55K S8 has an electronic speed limit of 300 km/h and hits 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds.
The power source in the SLK roadster is a specially revised version of the eight-cylinder Mercedes-Benz NA (Normally Aspirated) 5.5 litre engine. Equipped with only the KLEEMANN Kompressor system the engines power output raises from standard 360 Hp / 265 kW and 510 Nm to an impressive 550 Hp / 404 kW and 718 Nm.
Additionally the SLK 55K S8 is fitted with the KLEEMANN Stage 8 tuning kit. The engines ECU is reprogrammed and application specific super sport camshafts are fitted. To further improve the engines gas flow the 5.5 litre V8-engine is fitted with custom-developed headers in stainless steel and a complete dual 70 mm stainless steel exhaust system utilizing four steel racing catalysts. As the finishing touch to it all, the KLEEMANN SLK 55K S8 is fitted with two Trapezoid-shaped rear mufflers.
After the full tuning conversion from KLEEMANN Tuning, the eight cylinder engine delivers a maximum power output of 596 Hp / 438 kW at 5800 rpm and even more important for the overall driving characteristic is the peak torque of 770 Nm available from 2000 rpm. This incredible power is routed through a custom-made Limited Slip Differential (LSD) which applies a 60 percent lock-up ratio between the rear wheels. This modification is essential for maximum traction of the driven wheels and the fantastic acceleration figures for this car.
The power treatment pushes the SLK roadster far beyond normal sports car territory. Not many super cars are able to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and 200 km/t in 12.3 seconds, but the KLEEMANN SLK 55K S8 does so without any drama. Like all other high-performance KLEEMANN Tuning cars the top speed is electronically limited to 300 km/h.
To meet the enormous performance potential of the KLEEMANN SLK 55K S8, KLEEMANN has developed exceptional upgrades in terms of wheels, suspension and brakes.
