Is this the older version of a C63? They both look super nice!

Re: project grandpa!
 

No because thats a C-class which is quite a big smaller. This is an older version of an E63 :)

Re: project grandpa!
 

MB model numbers have always confused the shit out of me. It should be simple like BMW.... or they should name them. Too many CL,C,M,E,K plus numbers?! F that!

There is no older about it, they made E55's and E63's at the same time.. they were just different AMG engine options.

Their naming isn't difficult.. letters are the shape/model, and number is the engine size. Similar to BMW, who's first number is the shape/model, and the following is their engine size/model.

Re: project grandpa!
 

That's what I thought

Re: project grandpa!
 

Actually they didnt make em at the same time brosif. E55s stopped in 06 and the E63 started in 07.

Also the engine size number scheme is dunzo! The new "63" cars are mostly 5.5L twin turbo v8s, but they didnt want to downsize the number on the car because they figured people didnt want to buy a "lesser" car even if the new engine was more powerful (a LOT more) and more economic to boot!

Re: project grandpa!
 

Interesting, I stand corrected. Didn't realize they had the same shapes in different Merc's, but upped their top engine offered in the AMG series in newer years. I still like the 55's better due to easier modding/hp adding.

Re: project grandpa!
 

Yeah their body code is the letters the car model carries but it is still confusing.

Look at all the different models you could own. Each with their own engine or few engine choices.... Plus some models have different lettering to indicate different things sort of like a talon being a Tsi and whatnot... not worth digging into.

Got a ride in one of those with a professional driver at a MB event at Canterbury. Thing goes pretty good and drifts well. Tons of power every where and very nice interior. I subsequently got kicked out after finding the traction control button on the C320 and drifting it around the course. The crowd cheered when I got out of the car though! :D

Re: project grandpa!
 

I was telling floppy, that I showed my wife a pic of a '05 for sale and she said I want to drive it!

Re: project grandpa!
 

Do it! Drive it somewhere dry though cause in this wet crap the car will literally never stop spinning the tires.
