Another day, another tuning story. This time it's Mercedes-Benz specialist Vath that has unveiled the V58 which is based on the SLK 55 AMG. The stock model comes with a 5.5-liter V8 engine delivering 360HP and 510Nm of torque.
The increase of the V8 engine's displacement to 5.8-liters along with the addition of a compressor and a series of other measures including a new exhaust system and recalibrated ECU, just to mention a few, push output to 565 horsepower and 770Nm or 568 lb-ft. The extra kick in the pants allows the V58 SLK to top out at 310km/h or 193 mph.
