Take the SLK 55 AMG, remove the hardtop convertible, remove most of the sound deadening, remove the side windows, strip out the interior until the gauges, vents and necessary safety crap remains but keep it clean looking, and remove all of the drivetrain. Install an AMG 6.2L V8 backed up by a 6-speed manual (probably a Getrag unit), install a proper LSD, install a pair of Recaro bucket seats, give it an all nannies off button, replace hood and trunk lid with dry carbon fiber parts, replace inner door handles with leather pull straps, stiffen the suspension, call it the SLK 63 AMG Black Roadster, give it a price of $88,000 only make 1967 of them. Boom legend.

So, limit the sales to the 2% of the country that never gets rain?

They built the AMG GT instead. Don’t worry, I have trouble remembering it’s existence as well.
