"September 2003
The acute case of elephantitis of the horsepower that's gripped Mercedes' product planners and engine builders will soon give the little C-class sedan some serious fever. In late summer or fall of next year, Mercedes will introduce a C55 AMG model. To replace its apparently too winpy supercharged, 349-hp V-6 C32 AMG model. At the heart of the new hot rod will be the same 5.4 liter, three-valves-per-cylinder V-8 that sees duty in everything from the E55 AMG to the SLR super car. The version in the C-class will, however, be naturally aspirated - so don't expect 500-or-so supercharged horses; a guesstimate of 365 seems reasonable."
.....C55 just like the E55 without the SC, well kind of like a girlfriend without the sex. 16HP, YAAAWN. Drive Vadim's C32 if you want a C with lots, lots more power.
