Mondays: AMG S55 There’s nothing more satisfying to watch fellow
employees gape at the mere sight of a S-class parked in your slot.
Of course, upon closer inspection, one sees that this is no ordinary
S-class. In fact, this is the AMG
S55. Using AMG’s 5.5-liter SOHC V8, it provides the
S-class with something more than mere grand touring grace.
It gives this executive luxury car more sports car appeal.
This is of course helped by the fact that the S-class was designed to be
sportier compared to all the previous models.
Owners and critics alike said that that S-class very much behaves like a
smaller sedan…actually more like an E-class! Of course, the engine and the suspension are just
the tip of the iceberg, the S55 gets a better appointed interior with improved
leather and wood, plus 18-inch wheels that give the car a butch-ier look that
makes the car more appropriate for shuttling around Fred Durst rather than Phil
Collins. The huge S55 delivers a luxurious experience and with AMG tuning gives sports cars a headache. Imagine being outrun by a car that’s around 30 percent longer and not to mention, heavier. |
