C55 in W202 body style?

I was reading this mercedes magazine and they were talking about a W202 body style, C55 amg.
They said that the car was very rare and came with a 5.5 litre.... 347bhp engine.
If this is true, has anyone here seen one?

AMG
It is true. The W202 C55 was an AMG Special built in VERY limited numbers. Check out the AMG Owners Club website for pics and additional details.

yeah, there were some big "bootleg" car shows that brought out the rare.
