Introduced for the 2012 model year, shortly after the redesigned, third-generation SLK was launched, the SLK55 AMG soldiered on without any significant changes through 2014. Although the previous model received a facelift in its fourth year on the market, the current SLK55 AMG sits in showrooms with the same exterior appearance and the same 5.5-liter V-8 engine under its hood. That's likely to change sooner than later, but Mercedes-Benz has no plans to do that for 2015. Fortunately enough for those looking for a slightly updated model, AMG's Performance Studio is trying to save the day with a bespoke take on the powerful roadster.
Sadly, the fact that the SLK55 AMG is long in the tooth is evident in this "Performance Studio" package as well.
