None that Mercedes actually made, but I believe that AMG made an E60 AMG using the M119 engine. Very limited production.

I believe the 210 chassis AMG before the E55 was the E50. Not too sure about the E60. But I do know about the previous chassis to the 210. The engine was 381hp V8.

Here is a pic

Renntech had a W210 E60 4-matic, converted an S500's 4966cc V-8 to an 5969cc

Wow that white sedan looks like what I saw. Was badged E 60 S and also had a Renntech Badge on the right side. See my account in the Kills forum....let me know what you think? ...sounds more and more like it could have been for real.

Which white sedan? Mine? I wish...haha

So it might have been a Renntech not an AMG E60 i.e. an aftermarket conversion..as opposed to those rare AMGs eh? Anyways, now you have the stats on the Car and Driver article (well, the 4 Matic version anyways)...

Nice write up

Juding by the stats (Car and Driver puts the Renntech E60 at par with the M5), I'd say he would've killed you IF he was for real. However, he might have been happy to have pulled the bumper or so on you intitially and gave up...hard to say..
