E55 AMG

Thanks guys. After the dissapointment of that Automobile Mag review, thought we could all use a boost. AMG has a glorious history, let's hope the new E55 makes us proud!

Saw a glimpse of it and Automobile was just basically saying that from 0-60mph the RS6 was the fastest claiming 4.8secs while the E55 was like 5.0 but from 0-100mph E55 won.
