E55 is the new hotness.

 

very sexy car indeed, and it's got the balls to back up the looks


:werd:

Mercedes Benz hasn't been too impressive to me lately, but that E55 AMG almost made me soil my draws


h:

 

wholly shit!
"The high limits for the E55 demand tenacious brakes, and AMG delivers with vented, perforated 14.2-inch front and 13-inch rear disc brakes with Hulk-sized calipers. The front employs eight-piston calipers, with the rear using four, offering deceleration in step with the breathtaking acceleration."


that is insane!

 

Think that's insane? The Enzo Ferrari brakes from 100mph to a dead stop in 4-seconds flat.

 

I wasnt talking about the stop time, and it dosent mention it in there, i was talking about the 14" rotors.

As for the Ferrarri they are 380 mm in front (14.96 inches) and rear 340 (13.38 inches) which is a bit bigger, so im sure the e55 can do something similar, a big higher probablt since its smaller brakes and a big heavyer aswell. but damn 8 piston brakes on a sedan.

 

did you read up on the suspension setup and the acceleration performance? Whoever did the styling on that car earned his keep, it's sleek, stylish, and practical all at the same time. So far, after seeing what I've seen and reading what I've read about the car, im at a loss trying to find something wrong with it

 

did anyone see the Motor Trend E55 vs RS6 today? The RS6 slaloms a whole lot better. They both run 12.3x I believe...good grief :thumbup:

 

E55 = teh hotness = speed = don't fahk with it = :thumbup:

 

:gives:

I'm sure the dude buying a E55 AMG isn't hitting the autocross circuit.

The ultimate Benz for the moment (aside from the SLR) is the CL65 AMG. It has a 6.0 liter twin turbo V12 that makes 612 hp and 737 lb-ft.
