Titled the GTK concept, the new model is based on the Mercedes SLK55 AMG; and it packs a euphoria-inducing normally aspirated SLK 55 AMG V8 engine fitted with a complete KLEEMANN Kompressor system kit. The result is relatively compact concept delivering 540 HP and 700 Nm or 516-lb/ft of torque, enough to catapult the GTK from 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds and achieve an electronically-limited top speed of 186 mph. Power is transferred via a seven-speed automatic gearbox, while a Kleemann limited slip differential, high performance braking system, ultra low profile tires on 20-inch alloy rims, and redesigned styling bearing virtually no resemblance to a traditional SLK all complete the package.
Although Kleemann states only a handful of GTK's are set to see production, they do note the concept will serve as inspiration for a number of forthcoming Mercedes projects.
