Old C55 spy video

I uploaded onto my youtube channel a short video from 2003, where you see a C55 (lightly disguised to cover up the front end) being tested on roads and on the Nurburgring. Prior to the C55, AMG didn't routinely test their cars at the Ring during development. Now, they routinely do for all their new models.

Click on my youtube channel in my signature, and choose the video that was most recently uploaded if you want to see it.

Very cool. Weird to see a car we're so familiar with now camouflaged in its developmental days.

I'd love to drive the 'Ring sometime. I enjoyed watching your other vids, too. Thanks for sharing.

That's pretty heavily disguised IMO for what the C55 turned out to be, don't you think?

If you've never done it, its a great drive!!! Now, I hear its quite costly??? I did it about 5 years ago and it was the "ride of a lifetime." There's also a girl who is quite good who will take you around in a Beemer for about $100. She is Sabine Schmitz and has logged almost more than anyone around the track!!!
