Will the exhaust be more restricted in the S55 and CL55? Or will it produce the same rumble that ti does in the SL55?

I think Mercedes-Benz has hit the jackpot with that 5.5 liter supercharged V8. It has so much potential, and makes every New 55 buyer happier.

Thumbs up

performance datas:

Sports car acceleration to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds !!!!

In the S-Class and CL-Class the most powerful series production engine by AMG develops a maximum output of 368 kW/500 hp at 6100 rpm and a constant 700 Newton metres of torque between 2750 and 4000 rpm. Compared to their predecessors with a naturally aspirated V8 engine the new, supercharged AMG cars therefore have 39 percent more output and 32 percent more torque. The result is the performance of a sports car: both models require only 4.8 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h, and the 200 km/h mark is reached in just 16.3 seconds!!!! better ta=han the AUDI RS4 and RS6. The maximum speed is limited to 250 km/h in each case. Both models have an NEDC combined fuel consumption of 13.2 litres per 100 kilometres and already meet the EU-4 exhaust emission limits valid from 2005.

is quicker than a C32,
because is 4.8 to 62.5 mph --> 4.7-4.6 easy to 0-60 mph....and 62.5-125 a rocket 11.5 sg......our C32 does in 13.2 sg.

The only way to much be a shadow to those S55 and CL55 is chipping and/or pulley and/or exhust.

bye

Renntech will have in December a chip boosting tturbo 600 to 550hp and 664lbs(900nm)of torque.
By the way the diffrence 0-100 kmh vs 0-60mph below 5sec range comes usually to 0.2-0.3sec,so that would translate the 0-60mph at 4.5-4.6sec.
