It's only a few inches longer...
I've read of some times which are significantly better then 4.9, and 4.9 seconds is the 0-100 time for kilometers. Usually in miles you can shave off a hundreth of a second when going 0-60 (since 60mph is not 100km's, but less).
I think the main reason why the SLK 55 is only 360hp is due to Mercedes being afraid of it beating their 'top of the line' car such as the SL. Apparently, the 400hp version might come in a few years (and it might push as quick as 4.2 seconds for a 0-60).
It's just a bunch of marketing...
