Mercedes CLK55 AMG




For a high performance car on a race track when it comes to entering the market takes place when there is one thing that will always guarantee. Maker have confidence in the performance ability of the car under extreme conditions, as well as the manufacturer's experience with the environment also turns out to runway that could easily be revealed; this usually stems from extensive experience of the race.


Three new Mercedes AMG at the race track in Germany, Hockenheim doubt both during the use of the model was confirmed. Mercedes AMG affalterbach headquarters in Stuttgart, in the foothills of Central Hockenheim with almost the exact center of trails.

Mercedes C E Class models and the station-wagon version, including the AMG versions of each product group in Germany offers. But currently exports to the United States ML55 E55 sedan and sport-ute with limited.

AMG, three new models next year - CLK55, CL55 and S55 - add. In the usual AMG Fashion, the alphabetical section, The name of the model line, with 55 5429 cc V-8 underhood indicates.

Among them, the CLK55 AMG model ever sold in America, with easily the most interesting because it is the fastest. Equipped with the same engine as the E55 at 349 349 more horses mainly, due to more stringent exhaust system - and about 300 pounds less, with almost five seconds with a top speed of 60 mph rapidly under pressure that he can get reported.

CLK55 AMG models typically, at 67 according to the engine clk430 more in-demand produced by strong hand AMG V-8 to complete numerous other performance-enhancing features. Five-speed automatic transmission, The V-12 S-Class models used in heavy gear goes in the box. Powered with a four inch diameter and a solid shaft are connected to the differential.

Twin-piston calipers with larger diameter and thicker Vented Brake rotors in the doldrums, the ability to stop the power increase to accommodate increases it. Springs, shocks and anti-roll bars are also more stringent, but in an interesting way, same 17 inch AMG wheels wheel and tire sizes, which is equipped with clk430 - 7.5 inches wide and 8.5 inches behind. In terms of creature comfort, the CLK55 comes fully equipped. The only options are a navigation system and a mobile phone.

On the road, the AMG CLK agile, responsive, and extremely fast. So linear the steering wheel to the desired concentrations, and the corners cut off, great concentration and you don't have to make constant course corrections. As expected with upgraded AMG brakes, pedal is a lot softer feeling than I'd prefer, although stopping power is strong and colorfast.

CLK55, Mercedes combines the functions of traction control and stability control, electronic stabilization program (ESP) remains; this system is busy and the car is 7 / 10 You can take. Go faster than that, and ESP is intrusive; for this reason, you will want to push the button that closes the ESP traction control function. In this mode, the user remains neutral, but the tail motor in a controlled way to scroll the 376 pound-feet of a grandson you can use. Indeed, it rained during our test track and CLK, proved to be very easy to drift on a track soaked. The only complaint we have in the rain, "Touch Shift" five-speed manual gearbox that was attached to a gear. Easy gate manual gearshift make gear selection easier she, too, programming the gearbox when the gear box allows you to kick it laid still. As a result, you can't hold a higher gear to help maintain traction in the rain.

Off the track, The CLK55 is less strong, stable remains as useful as a friend. The rear seats big enough for adults during short trips to the city. Trunk space is generous and the interior is comfortable and well-finished.

However, all versions of the pressure still has the new C-class sedan based on the platform rather than the one they used for the old C class. This pressure steering column, lower the steering wheel is positioned higher setting means that the inclination of the platform is devoid of that need to new.

New S55 and CL55 models we drove at Hockenheim and this is a huge, luxurious models to be sold in America will be the first AMG variant. CLK, both with the same 5.4-liter V-8, Mercedes AMG calibration of the system is equipped with active suspension and body roll, dive, and minimizes shrinkage.

Usual reinforced brakes and large 18-inch wheels and tires are fast and well equipped, although both of these cars for comparison purposes the present E55 clk55 or less than they felt athletic. Approximately weighing more than a quarter ton clk55 because they are shocked. However, the existing S500 and the cl500 is much more sporty of the models, it must be. What they were about to be interesting, to arrive at the same time similarly powerful V-12 S600 and CL600 compare with the indicator how it is.

Prices were not available at press time, but for the S55 and cl55 exceed $ 100,000 can be expected. When it comes to clk55, if you've exceeded 65.000 dollar, don't expect much change. Especially the new 325-horsepower of the BMW M3 the emergence of a market of 50 thousand dollars less than expected, looks quite cute. However, the early AMG models currently for sale in the U.S. with your order, we recommend.
