In November 2000 the company presented the SLK 32 AMG. With its 260 kW (354 hp) AMG V6 supercharged engine, it adopted a leading position in this segment from spring 2001. This was underlined by the technical data: top speed 250 km/h (electronically controlled), acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds, maximum torque of 450 newton-meters at 4400 rpm. The SLK 32 AMG's chassis and suspension set-up were adapted to the engine output. In addition to a modified spring/damper tuning, a wider rear axle track, and a larger torsion bar at the front axle, the brakes with their impressive deceleration performance (approx. 10.5 m/s2) were a particular highlight. The body of the SLK 32 AMG was styled to create an independent look. There were new-design front and rear aprons, coordinating side skirts, and a subtly integrated airflow break-away edge on the boot lid which reduced lift at the rear axle by over 50 percent.
