Its a known fact that bright color cars attract the Police , Especially red . And IMO the only cars that should be red is Ferrari and Porsche .

Thanks for helping to answer a question I have had for awhile....."what would a red E55 look like?"

That is way to over the top for my taste....black or white for the win!

I had a CLK55 in that color and loved it BUT I'm not feeling it on the E55. White with Pano is my favorite.

That color for an E55 is rare and beautiful, but I don't think it is worth the premium asking price of $79K (US dollars). You're easily paying almost 50 grand for paint. Performancewise, 368 Kw is stock power for most E55s. Taking a look at it would be nice though, I just think the seller is crazy.

$80,806 on current exchange rate. But as I said, thats actually on the lower end of the scale for E55's.
