2001 E55 AMG
Power output is 493hp

I read in either Car/Driver or Motor Trend that the E55 will get the same engine as the SL55 AMG which is rated at 493 hp. This US car will be a higher horsepower version than the European E55.

Mercedes has a history of downgrading the HP for lower priced models. I really doubt that a $80k E55 will have the same HP as the $120k SL55, CL55 & S55 which will be 493. I also doubt that the US W211 E55 will have more HP than the Euro model.

No, the E55 will have 476 bhp.
