A while back we told you about the
Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Ultimate Experience Asia, a custom race-inspired variant of the SLK F1 Safety Car produced specifically for a wealthy Asian investor.
At the time of the story, the press release noted that a small number of cars based on this SLK "Ultimate Experience Asia" would be produced and made available to consumers, but at the time no additional details were given. Recently however, a few additional rumors began circulating that shed some new light on the topic.
According to the Dutch publication AutoTelegraaf.nl [via Autoblog.nl], we may see a variant of the SLK Ultimate Experience Asia as early as July. Although details are scarce, it's rumored that the newest SLK will be titled the SLK Tracksport and fitted with a 400 horsepower M113 E 55 EVO Motor. There's also rumors circulating that a new Sport package will be made available for all SLK models, which may include new wheels and adjustments to the headlights.
Of course, we don't have any basis to back up the rumors and we're not vouching for its validity, but isn't conjecture grand?
