Luxury and comfort work alongside the ultimate in style and sporting design in the new Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG supercar.

From the steering wheel down to the wheels themselves, Mercedes-Benz has incorporated a sports style to the whole of the new model.

The interior has been designed to be functional and sporty and the new AMG ergonomic sports steering wheel has a three-spoke design.

Perforated leather shapes and lines the grip area for a comfortable hold while the vertical spoke contains a silver coloured insert.

Changing gears has never been simpler with the aluminium AMG shift paddles on the side of the wheel.

Drivers also get the choice of four colours of nappa leather, including black/gullwing red to cover the interior upholstery.

The instrument cluster is covered in silver and red needles and the new design shows vehicle speed and rpms to be clearer.

When driving in "M" mode the main-menu of the colour display shows the currently selected gear and when to upshift as well as oil temperature, battery voltage or the RACETIMER gadget.

Comfort and security have been combined in the seating arrangement of the new car as pronounced side bolsters offer improved lateral support for fast cornering and alcantara inserts in the shoulder area enhance this further.
