FS: Kleemann 530hp SLK55 AMG! Over $30k in upgrades, lots of photos inside!

Up for sale is my 2006 SLK55 AMG with Kleemann modifications. I have never seen another Kleemann SLK55 for sale; there are only a handful of them in the North America. This car has only 9,900 miles and still looks brand new inside and out. Never any accidents or paintwork. This particular car is loaded with almost every factory options available, including: AIRSCRAFT, two-tone interior, Bi-xenon headlights, satellite navigation, harmon kardon audio system, Sirius XM radio, power-adjustable and heated seats, etc. On top of the factory options, I installed well over $30,000 in modifications resulting in 530bhp/510lb-ft torque (in a car that weighs only 3,400lbs!). This is by far one of the fastest cars I’ve driven and according to EVO Magazine, this car is double the fun of SLR McLaren! You can read their review here:


http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/carg...slk55k_s8.html


Here is a partial list of modifications:

Kleemann Supercharger
Kleemann ecu/tcu
Kleemann long tube headers
Kleemann sport cats (secondary)
Kleemann LSD
Custom C2 Design exhaust
Phenolic spacers, upgraded thermostat, other cooling upgrades
Evosport underdrive pulleys

Euroteck carbon fiber diffuser (custom)
Euroteck carbon fiber spoiler (custom)
19'' wheels w/ Michelin Pilot Cup tires (same as on Porsche GT3/RS!)
Carlsson race suspension (1'' lower than stock)
Tinted windows, taillights and side lights.
Short radio antenna

My asking price is $64,500 OBO. I’m not in a hurry to sell it, so no law-ballers please.

I wish.. those are crank hp numbers . The car put down 430whp on regular 93 unleaded (was told it would be 440-450whp on 100 octane). That is using a conservative 6psi pulley, you can swap a different pulley for more boost if you want... but I think that's plenty power for such a small and lightweight car.

Hey,
Can you post a link to that acceleration vid link of your car that I saw months back? I actually may have a different friend now interested in your car. He was curious to see the video.
Thanks

haha I was advised to take the video down over legal concerns! Apparently its not a very smart thing to post a video going 150mph+ on public freeways

If you're friend is seriously interested, he can test drive it. You can assure your friend that this car absolutely flies and scares the **** out of most people who drive it

Haha, I'm sure it is as I saw that video. This one is actually in Michigan so the test drive would be difficult unless he was specifically coming down there to buy your car. It's too bad my buddy in S Fla picked up a new ride already, your 55 would be perfect/ absolutely immaculate. My email is g3capital@gmail.com if you still have it.

They're a little low but still OK.. these R-compound tires only last about 5k miles. Plus with this car, you have to be careful going WOT in the first 3 gears, or you can smoke them pretty bad I can replace the tires before selling the car though...

Thanks, I'll try my best to make it! As far as the next car, it'll be a tuned 700hp+ SL65, possibly even 1000hp quad-turbo kit if VRP finishes the project. It will be very hard to top this SLK55, so the only way to go is a tuned SL65

It has everything except the cams, so I believe that makes it an S7. I did not want to get the cams because some people reported drivability issues with them, didn't think they were worth the minor hp gains

Never took her to the 1/4 mile track, she's still a virgin Other supercharged SLK55's with the same or less power did 11.7 in the 1/4 mile.
