Hot Benz
Mercedes-Benz tuning house AMG has a talent for building cars that look innocent enough on the outside while hiding pretty big performance teeth under the paint. This is one of them.
As we note in a feature on the performance house: “AMG originally built its reputation around modifying Mercedes engines (getting prodigious horsepower out of them) and customising cars with wider wheels and body kits. Their popularity led to an official venture with Daimler-Benz AG to market AMG-improved models in 1993, and eventually AMG was bought by Daimler-Benz in 1998. Since then the brand has gone from strength to strength but nowhere more so than Down Under.”
Packing a substantial 270kW under the bonnet, the 5.5lt V8 C55 quickly gained a reputation for scintillating performance and slick handling.
This example claims a full service history and is with John Conroy in Brisbane at $42,990.
