This is from Wikipedia, so take it with a grain of salt, but it seems accurate. Also, many of you have already seen this, but here it is again.

SLK 32 AMG - 3.2 L (3199 cc) 354 hp V6 engine, 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, generally electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). Maximum torque is 450 Nm, of which 400 Nm is available at 2300 rpm. To achieve the superlative power output of 354 hp a Lysholm or "twin-screw" supercharger was fitted between the cylinder banks of the hand built V6 engine. While the engine uses the same block as the 320, virtually all the internal components are replaced with superior parts and the oil flow rate increased by 70% over the 320 engine, ensuring longevity even under hard use. The engines are generally reliable, the only consistently reported weakness being irregular failures of the supercharger intercooler pump. Modifications to take the power output up to and sometimes over 400 hp are relatively easily and cheaply achieved, primarily by fitting a larger crankshaft pulley (thus turning the supercharger faster), free-flow air filters and exhaust systems. No reliability issues appear to have been reported consequent upon such modifications. The automatic transmission is also different to other SLKs' and ensures faster shifting (Mercedes claim faster than the best manual), lock-up in all gears, automatic downshift engine braking during hard deceleration and a feature that holds the transmission in the current gear during hard cornering. When first introduced the SLK32 AMG was the fastest accelerating car ever produced by Mercedes Benz, leaving aside the SLR McLaren. AMG offered as an option an increased limited top speed of 280 km/h (174 mph). These vehicles were factory fitted with Y-rated tires. There are reports of unlimited vehicles reaching speeds of 306 km/h (190 mph). While such claims should perhaps be approached with caution, Car & Driver report that the 136 kg (300 lbs) heavier C32AMG is reputed to be capable of achieving 306 km/h (190 mph) using the identical engine but with a non-standard final drive. The SLK32 AMG is probably among the rarest of all SLKs produced to date, having been built in relatively small production numbers with a total of 4,333 produced. Production commenced in August 2000 and ended in March 2004. Production figures were: 2000, 10 units; 2001, 2193 units; 2002, 1336 units; 2003, 742 units; 2004, 52 units. 979 units were retained for Germany. It appears that 2056 were shipped to the USA: 2002, 1182; 2003, 562; 2004, 312. Fewer than 300 were imported to the UK. Many Mercedes enthusiasts consider the SLK32AMG to be the closest thing to a "hairy sportscar" Mercedes has produced in recent years (Mercedes Enthusiast Magazine, Issue 45, July 2005) and more enjoyable to drive than the more refined SLK55 AMG.

I'd say it sounds accurate, but sometimes I think ecu and tranny have a mind of their own though. It seems like they don't want work together sometimes.

 

Very interesting.

 

hm.. intresting makes you wonder if there really were more slk32s produced than crossfires?

Maybe the numbers given to us 2016 coupes 928 roadsters were only for cars for United States...

 

I've seen the production #s for the SLK32 at mbworld.
There were fewer of them built than the SRT6s, but they were still pretty low numbers.

 

the stated slk32 production number is

SLK 32 AMG
2002 1182
2003 562
2004 312

but this is only for United States and that makes me wonder...

 

Very interesting read, Thank you! SF
