Written by If you have a Mercedes-Benz AMG, lots of cash and all the time in the world, how about putting these together for some real wind on your face?
A high performance car like the SLK55 AMG would go to waste if you dont know how to fully maximise the potential, behaviour and feel of the car.
Since money is not a concern, how about putting your time to good use by enrolling in the AMG Driving Academy.
Wheee!! …at a price
For as low as USD1795, you get a whole day of performance driving in a secured race track either in California or in Georgia, USA. The program teaches you the vehicle dynamics, maneuvering and handling. Once you master these, you get to spin the track at the end of the day. The price also includes a dinner and a certificate of completion.
Other programs are available for the more experienced driver like the Advanced and Pro programs for USD3295 and USD3996, respectively.
I personally had a short experience of a similar Mercedes-Benz driving program in Sepang years ago and I must say it was very educational. I became a better driver, more observant on the road, and learnt how to be a defensive driver. Here is a video of me inside a Merc on the tracks in Sepang:
And no, I dont own a Mercedes.. 
But I’d love to get the smoking hot E-Class though!
