First, it has the legendary M113K engine that is a 5.5L supercharged V8 making almost 500 HP and a bit more than 500 lb-ft of torque. This engine has proven to be bulletproof and can easily make 700+ HP with minor bolt-ons. Not to say you’ll need to modify the engine as we’ve heard unrestricted SL55s can hit 202 MPH in an otherwise stock car. Secon...
03 – 06 2003 was the introductory year for the SL55 in the USA but it had actually been on sale in Europe starting in 2002.
