Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG





This most powerful E55 AMG ever, due in the U.S. in May, gets 34 percent more power and an extra 32 percent of pound-feet over the old, naturally aspirated, once seriously fast E55. It's enough grunt to qualify this E55 as the quickest production sedan in the world. We estimate it will rip to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, 0.1 second ahead of Audi's claim for the RS 6 and 0.2 second quicker than the M5. And the rate of forward motion doesn't slacken as the estimated 10.5 seconds to 100 mph suggests. All this with an automatic transmission, although you can shift gears manually using buttons behind the steering wheel. And get this: Assisted by an IHI belt-driven screw supercharger that spins at 23,000 rpm to a maximum pressure of 11.6 psi, the 5.4-liter V-8 produces a monstrous 516 pound-feet of torque from 2650 to 4500 rpm.

That car would look tight with a tripple decker wing on the back and some 14" bling blings.

Nice ride. 469hp, eh......what a useless load of balls for the US market. Give me the autobahn or fewer cops and maybe it would come in handy.
