Will the new E55 be faster than the SL55????
I know that both cars will have the same supercharged 470hp engine.
I am assuming the E55 is actually LIGHTER so I think IT would be faster????

they donīt do anything with the SL55 enging. the old ones have 350kw and the new ones have 368kw (500hp) written in the car-papers we use here in germany. for one of our customers i was at the local-traffic-department (hope this is translated correct) and they changed the papers after this vehicle was at AMG. the put away the limiter at 250km/h to 300km/h and the SL55 got new 19" wheels and tyres (extrem nice looking ones)
