2006 C55 Redesign

Is the 2005 C55 essentially a one year model ? I thought I read somewhere that the interior and exterior changes they made for 2005 were relatively minor and that the entire C-class was getting a major sheet metal workover for 2006 model year.

I believe it is the 07' model year that is the "all new" car.

Yeah, the W203 body, which is used for the whole C class right now, will be replaced by the W204 body in 2006 as an '07 MY.

Search the forum for "W204" for some shots of what the new body is supposed to look like.

2006 will get more horsepower, we do know that.

as for the W203 C55, what about the 4-valve/cylinder V8 makeover which will affect the MB V8 lines next year, will this carry over to the N/A AMG engines, i.e. the C55 and CLK55?

I know the next phase C55 will get the same 5.5L V8 NA engine but detail revisions will raise output from 360bhp to ~408bhp
