The model it replaces, SLK 55 AMG, had 5.5L V8 engine that produced 415 BHP of power while the newer, smaller 3.0L V6 engine surprisingly produces 362 BHP which is just about 13 percent short of the former's power. Plus, the 0-100 mark achieved by SLC, at 4.7 seconds, is just 0.1 second more than SLK!
