According to a recent report by Auto Car, the 2012 Mercedes SLK55 AMG will debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show this September.

The model will be equipped by a naturally-aspirated 5.5-liter V8 engine with 416 hp and 539 Nm of torque. Combined economy is 8.5-liter per 100 km and CO2 emissions are 199g/km. Stop-start is as standard. The SLK55 AMG will also feature a new sports exhaust system with two independent rear silencer flaps.

If that hasn't piqued your interest, a new SLK 250 CDI will change your think. The car will be powered by a 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine with 201 hp.
