Just like the Black Series its all just BS the car does not even have a fixed roof it simply has the standard 55 roof (in CF ) and its latched onto the windscreen frame and inside the trunk using the exact same clamps the only difference is the hydraulic system has been removed and the clamps locked.
The point is if any company wants to make a sale they need to find as many goodies as possible to attract buyers and saying here we have a SLK55 with the AMG Performance Package fitted / here we have a SLK55 Black is more enticing to buyers than simply SLK55, MB don't give a crap about performance or weight they care about profit only now you would not buy a car with a performance pack just because it has a higher limiter but throw in some wheels and it makes more sense to purchase it on top of the standard car.
If MB was really serious about performance then they would have gone BMW M3 CSL style reducing weight so much that the floor of the trunk is cardboard but they're not. |
And there are lots of people who want to buy a car which can not be bought by 99,9% of the rest. For those, a "Dark Black Series" would be the best. They donīt care about performance of the price, they want to be different. And Mercedes is using this kind of density to make good money. I think, Mercedes is doing right
