Collecting two MB E55 AMGs - and visiting a few tuners!

I hope this will do as a first post...

This is a story of two happy owners who went to Germany to pick their brand new MB E55 AMGs from the factory.

The new E55 AMG...

Red SL55 AMG - a nice car to arrive in the factory with.



A happy owner leaves the factory soon to be followed by another.

Now where did I park my MB AMG? Fairly impressive parking lot. :bigeyes:





Mercedes AMG CLK GTR Roadster! If I'm correct there are only 5 of these cars in the world so this is probably as close as you'll ever get.
0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h.

More pictures of the CLK GTR Roadster (external link)







A little snow.





Straight from the factory trying to find some new tuning

Carlsson :cool2:



and Brabus :cool2:

They tried one of the brand new E55 AMGs against the Brabus on Autobahn and the Brabus lost.
The Brabus has a little more to give in the lower register but otherwise it lost.
The Brabus sales person is still to explain what happened.
There were no problems with the Brabus car.
So before you buy all the marketing stuff do your own trials
and see for yourself before you pay 17.000 Euro.





Some links for you.

Nice road trip. What a great post.

Best in months...maybe ever.

Thank you for the pics.

Did they give you trade in on the AMG rims or are you having the OEM delivered to your home?

Glad you liked them.

The rims are Carlsson 1/16 Ultra light and they were switched at Carlsson. Not a trade in.
