2002 Mercedes Benz SLK32 AMG

Mercedes-Benz, synonymous with international automotive sports luxury, has consistently delivered vehicles that are lighter, more agile, and more efficient than anything else on the road.

The original SLK, designed by the renowned stylist Bruno Sacco, set a new standard with its clean, sharp lines and revolutionary folding roof mechanism, becoming the benchmark for all future open-top cars.

In 2001, the in-house tuning maestros at AMG worked their magic on the SLK, producing the fiery SLK32 AMG. Powered by a hand-built supercharged 3.2-litre V6 engine, the car boasted an impressive 260kW (349bhp). The 'Speedshift' five-speed transmission reduced shift times by 35% compared to the standard automatic, delivering an exhilarating driving experience. Upgrades to the brakes and suspension ensured the car could handle its immense power with ease.

Exclusivity defines the SLK32 AMG. Only 28 units were sold in Australia, making ownership exceedingly rare. The example offered here is a standout: delivered new through Macarthur Mercedes-Benz in Sydney, it features a striking Zircon Silver Metallic exterior over a Black leather interior. With just 57,613 kilometers on the odometer, it has been meticulously maintained, reflecting its exceptional care over time.

This vehicle has a rich provenance, having been sold by CTS to its current owner 15 years ago. Today, it returns to the showroom floor in near-original condition. It is equipped with premium features such as 18" alloy wheels, power mirrors, a leather sports steering wheel, stability control, cruise control, remote central locking, leather gear knob, climate control air conditioning, and smart fog lights.

Accompanying the car are its original leather-bound logbooks, detailing a comprehensive Mercedes-Benz and specialist service history, as well as both original keys. This SLK32 AMG offers the best of both worlds: daily drivability and supercar engineering. Its performance is unmatched, outpacing competitors like the BMW M Roadster and Porsche Boxster S with a 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 5.2 seconds. Its short wheelbase ensures razor-sharp handling, making every corner an adventure.

Ready for immediate enjoyment, this future classic is a thrill to drive. Combining brilliant craftsmanship, engaging performance, and undeniable fun, the SLK32 AMG is truly a car for the driving enthusiast. Don't miss the opportunity to own this remarkable piece of automotive history.
