"The SLK V8 isn't about state-of-the-art steering response or mega-quick lap times at the Nürburgring, it's about excitement; specifically the excitement generated by surplus power and straight-line speed.
Floor the pedal from any speed - 60, 80, 100, 120 mph, whatever - and you'll be drag racing with time."

"Driving the SLK V8 in town isn't like taking a sledge-hammer to crack a nut, it's like using nuclear weaponry to win at conkers.
But the best part is that the SLK V8 isn't intimidating. After a few minutes at the wheel you learn how and when to use that throttle. And when you do find the space to stamp on it hard the Brabus doesn't shake, judder or go leery. It just goes. And how."
