Question Sl50k???

Is this a SL500 tuned by Kleemann? I was driving behind a SL today with a "SL50K" badge on the trunklid. I couldn't see any Kleemann-logo though.

Could be, then could be any other companies with a K too. If it was my car, I wouldn'dt want to advertise for the company so I would want to keep it as a sleeper.

Thanks for your replies!

Well, my guess on that it was a Kleemann-tuned R230 was also partially founded on that it had Danish registration-plates. The only visible difference from a stock R230 was that it had four exhaust pipes and huge rims. What a sweet car!
