Clk32 Amg

Had a great conversation at BENZ today. New Information on a new CLK32 AMG to replace the CLK55 AMG. CLK32 AMG to have a Supercharged 3.2L V6 replacing the already known 5.5L V8 CLK55 AMG. The new engine outputting between 350 to 360 HP strictly to compete with BMW M3. Style was said to be the "NEW" W209.

Also was told CLK to have 4-MATIC option in 2005!!


Enjoy all!!

I dont quite get this.....MB is going to drop the CLK55 and put the C32 engine on the 209??? While they are putting the CLK55 engine on the W203 and call it C55???

Or is the C32 engine going to be put on the next generation CLK?? This is so confusing!!

This is weird...C32 AMG is changing to C55 so why would they do the opposite to the CLK? Something seems off...

Very true, and even at a CLK32 versus a CLK55, I expect the CLK55 to win over the CLK32.

Enzo, my Benzo
They ARE dropping the SC'd 32 engine in favor of the NA 55 for the C and SLK due to reliability issues, so there is no way they'd put it in the W209. Your source is misinformed.
