Owner here. Engine is healthy but as you see it is not possible to go all out above 220 as the winter tyres are rated to just 240km/h. Speedo is really accurate so bear that in mind too. With summer tyres it can hit 290 GPS all day....eventually :) Enjoy 😉

[@benzamg1982]

Hello. What’s the time 100-200. Thank you

[@KingofInterns]

@@benzamg1982 around 13.5secs. Or roughly 1sec slower than 2019 C43 estate with similar hp but vastly quicker gearbox

[@MyRealName]

I doubt that top speed claim unless your going downhill for half an hour straight. Even then, doubt it. Also, in the video 100-200 was no less than 15, 16 seconds. Nice car, great sound and all but let's be realistic about performance. It's only as good as it can be :)

[@xXAlmdudlerXx]

@@MyRealName Id say too for 300 kmh gps you need approximately 400hp. If the car makes that then I believe it.

[@KingofInterns]

@Plot yeah I checked it is actually 13.66secs on their time sheet. I said it will get there eventually but yes definitely needs headers and a tune to achieve it easily :) otherwise it doesn't really accelerate much from 290 GPS. Agreed noise and fun factor all the way 😀

[@r35killa]

I have no idea why I love that this gearbox shifts this slow with this engine. It just fits so well and sounds so good!

[@Leonardo555ZZZ]

Some shift slower because valve body seals need replacing after 15 years or so ,,if the seals are in good shape they can shift a little faster.

I had the use of one of these when it was almost brand new the fastest I ever got out of it was 252 kmh with limiter still on with about 8000 on the clock I got the limiter removed and the fastest speed I ever got out of it was 287 kmh with numerous attempts this was by gps not speedo. It was such a great car to drive so advanced for 2004 terrific engine and sound too I often wound the windows all down just so I could hear it

Owner C55 sedan. Always a renewed pleasure to drive this car, able to be cool and change character to become "edgy, even angry". Generous, even at very high revs. Sound gets castling from 3000 RPM to 6500. FYI @autotopnl, in manual mode you hit the 6500 limit. In S mode only about 6300. Thanks for this fantastic video.

[@KingofInterns]

Nice one. Owner of this dragon wagon :) It is tuned to hit 6800rpm in manual mode, as you can see here in the later part of the video. Sounds fantastic hitting the Rev Limiter, although I have only done that once in 2 years of ownership, unlike Martijn here 😂

[@IrvinGreene8008]

We can't do that here in the USA because so many people think they own the left lane and seldom drive faster than the rest of the traffic, or at times slower. Many will drive for miles and miles beside another vehicle with no intention of passing.

I have a vic and the shift might be slightly faster in the amg, you have to remember its not a sports car its a luxury sports sadan/wagon in this case

[@spiros4833]

C55 has a front end from clk c209 because of there was no room for the amg engine. So rare..

[@brunobegic3841]

Probably one of the most underrated sports sedans/wagons out there. Also quite affordable now. I'm sure it would've been so much more desirable if it was available with a manual. Luckily, people have figured out how to make the 6 speed manual from a C320/Crossfire work in them by now, so a swap is not that hard to do.

[@CincySupercar]

AMG owners love manuals huh? It would’ve been more desirable if it had the supercharger like the bigger 55 cars.

[@brunobegic3841]

@@CincySupercar Why wouldn't they love a manual when the 5 speed automatic is as fast as a decapitated turtle. The number of C55's and E55's that have been manual swapped would surprise you. Anyone who has been on MB forums knows just how many owners are interested in putting a manual in their AMG.

[@CincySupercar]

@@brunobegic3841 AMG doesn’t sell cars with manual trans and Mercedes itself hasn’t sold a manual with in 10+ years already. AMG owners just don’t seem to care. I have a c55 and was deep in the forums for a few years and I’ve never seen/heard of a stick shift C55 AMG. I know of a large group of guys putting the 5.5 in the older c43.

[@KingofInterns]

@Cincy_Supercar check out anderzen on KZbin he has manual c55. Manual would be fun for sure but the 5 speed is also very robust and reliable particularly in this application. It isn't stressed at all. Same box was paired with bi turbo v12s with 1000nm/750ft lb output in the SL65.

My favorite AMG!! The only C class besides the new trash C63 that has a unique front end that is from the CLK coupe to fit the V8.
