Hi all!

I posted this on a BMW forum but no one there knew... surprise.

I just saw this on my way home and am wondering why a SLK with manufacturer's plates would drive around MB HQ in Montvale NJ camo'ed up and de-badged.

It did not sound like an AMG, neither did it have quad exhaust pipes. The wheels look like regular SLK 350 issue and the camo was only on the front and rear bumper as well as lights.

Sorry for the crappy pics, the crackberry's cam is not its best feature.

Any ideas?

Thx in advance, this is bugging me.

 

From the pics, it looks like an everyday SLK 350 in Designo color. Can't tell much from your pics other than we know it's a SLK.

 

Agreed. It did however have the front bumper completely camo'ed up as well as the headlight surrounds taped. The rear bumper was lightly camo'ed with body armour and the lights taped up as well.

Badging was removed.

The exhaust pipes had large openings, but only a small pipe was visible. The car had Michigan Manuf. plates.

 

Don't get too worked up.When the SLK63 is produced it will be seen running the Ring long before it hits our shores.

 

Then maybe it is just a facelift coming up?

 

Hard to tell from the pics.

 

I highly doubt thats a 63, as a matter of fact, it looks like a regular 350, the bumper is too small, the 63 bumper would have to look like 55 or even more aggressive.....they gotta test it over there first then stateside....

 

That is exactly what it is, nothing more. The SLK63 would have a lot more going on bodywise.

this is

looks like a debadged 280 or 200 nothing more
