Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG Parts

Introduced in 2005 as the high-performance evolution of the W203 C-Class, the Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG exemplifies the blend of luxury and performance that's become synonymous with the AMG name. At its core, the C55 AMG is powered by a naturally aspirated 5.4-liter V8, part of the venerable M113 engine family, which churns out an impressive 362 horsepower and 376 pound-feet (510 Newton-meters) of torque. That's more than double what its predecessor produced, and thanks to a transition from V6 power to V8 motivation, it will be plenty sufficient for most drivers. Since it'll go from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 4.7 seconds before topping out at an electronically capped 155 mph (250 km/h), Sending power to the Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG's rear wheels is a five-speed automatic transmission with AMG Speedshift for quick response and dynamic driving characteristics while retaining some semblance of smoothness you'd expect in a luxury car. To visually distinguish itself from less powerful models, this particular Mercedes-Benz C-Class boasts a longer front end only shared with its successor, the W204 C63 AMG, quad exhaust tips, and an external differential cooler. It also has an impressive Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time of just eight minutes and 22 seconds, thanks to advanced suspension components and massive torque reserves. Offered primarily as a sedan or wagon in Europe, there's no doubt the Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG has set up a legacy that continues today through its successors.
