2005 MB SLK 55 AMG
us spec car?

did the car have the silly orange side-reflectors ? If not, it was a German car, the US car has these things 'glued' on to comply with US road rules; they are applied at production.

The car has both front and rear parktronic and no side reflectors, definitely an ECE model.

if you look at the pics it doesnt have the orange side markers and as luv2xlr8 said the amg executive said the car was shipped over from germany.

yeah they got the key and let us sit in it and check out the interior. i asked that amg exec from germany, mario, if he would pop the hood so i could see the engine and he said because it was a prototype that it didnt have the engine in it but that it did have the complete real braking system installed.
