To comprehend the existence of the Mercedes-AMG E53 sedan, we must go back to 2003 and the introduction of the E55 sedan.
AMG had previously collaborated with Mercedes, but the E55 was a real show-stopper.
It had a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine that produced 469 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, making it more powerful than the 996 Porsche 911 Turbo at the time.
Mercedes desperately wanted a piece of the performance sedan pie.
Enough to bring a dynamite rod to a sledgehammer fight.
