95' AMG SeeThreeSix
AMG Achtzylinder yesterday and today — AUTO FIG. TEST & TUNING 11/2002 — 21.10.2002
The one, that is the hammer. Thus they called it before 14 years in Affalterbach, when AMG was still another tuner - and so there still today all, which could do it personally, call it. For good reason: 1988 it was actually the hammer, in each relationship.
With eight cylinders, a capacity of almost six litres and 283 KW produced therein he was well for 289 km/h, with its price of 335.550 (!) Marks over-bid he a Ferrari Testarossa loosely around 100 giants - and optically anyway: The brutally sharp-edged body the bauchigere at nearly already the fenders for, it issued embarrassingly far, the blackened grill and the unloading spoilers document still today that any Daimler does not come along here. And completely more rarely in addition - of the AMG 300 CE 6,0 were built only whole twelve copies.
No trace of silk-soft run
With the other one one must see already more exact. ", one is tried nice, the new e-class" to say. Would not be there the small details. The air intakes in the front spoiler, the noble 18-Zoll-Raeder, imposed with nobly blackened rabbit wire, which directs the view of importantly working brake calipers. Naturally also the four final pipes and the contraction at the tail: "E 55" stands there. Which that is, can be described soberly: Five one half litre capacity, 350 KW, 4.7 seconds of zero on 100 km/h.
One can say it in addition, differently: FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY-SIX horses in a e-class are as it were the overhammer. One hears and feels her already in the no-load operation, if her nervously with the hooves scharren. No trace of silk-soft run, but mechanics for monitoring. A dull/musty Rascheln penetrates from the stable and interprets dezent on that with this herd is not to be spassen.
Who decides itself nevertheless to give her the sporen before deeply air should get. Because afterwards it strikes it only times the breath: Beginning lot jumps the Benz forward, under wild Wiehern a torque by 700 Nm is provoked - and if only a few sandkoerner on the road lie, the quietschen drive wheels also when igniting the second drive position before loud pleasures still times briefly up. After 16.7 seconds the Tacho stands on 200, after further eleven seconds is reached the maximum speed of 250 km/h.
Hammer-hard chassis tuning
Completely so potently is not the old hammer now nevertheless: 100 horses do not tear stop less so at the zuegel, above all, if they are already somewhat older. But quite resembles his modern descendant in the basic clay/tone the 300 CE 6,0: The same zornige Grollen, which only a large volume eight-cylinder can separate, and likewise considerable, if also completely so the breath striking 566 Newtonmeters do not bring it in a time on speed to 100, which fits well the capacity - 6.0 seconds.
And at the end it has nevertheless the nose in front. The reason: At its time one felt bound with AMG not yet to the freiwillige self-restraint on speed 250 and could the hammer be flown, so fast it went. And still a lot goes. Our test copy was so correctly beautiful after 167,000 kilometers free and vogue itself respectable 289 km/h up.
The chassis of the Ur-hammer forces the driver likewise still today respect off. Already before 14 years AMG installed here an electronic chassis regulation, which works both level-adjusting and absorbing: As desired the hardness can be adjusted in three stages, whereby however even the softest is still hammer hard and to the passengers together with dry impacts also a not straight luxurioeses noise level mediated.

The E 55 taenzelt by the curves
Completely differently the new E gives itself 55 there. Its air-fitted with springs, semiaktives chassis offers likewise the choice between tauter to the driver and very sporty tuning, manufactures however in each mode a quite acceptable comfort.
Beyond that the progress shows up here in its clearest form: Because while the 1650 Kilos always a little steifbeinig and ponderously works light old masters, that taenzelt nevertheless 185 Kilos heavier E 55 almost by the curves and arranges for its steering wheel the impression, as if he would weigh at least 300 Kilos less.
Against it it can objective be stated clearly that in former times some, but not everything was better. Even if the E 55 in the optical comparison with the hammer looks like a Haemmerchen. Owing to compressor it carries approximately 100 HP out despite smaller capacity more than its predecessor, owing to fundamental progress in the chassis technology drives itself it almost spielerisch - and which the most beautiful is: Owing to more rational manufacturing it hardly costs more than half. If that progress is not...
