Mercedes E 55 AMG 4MATIC: New sporty alternatives from Mercedes-AMG
Stuttgart/Affalterbach – E-Class with four-wheel drive
and 260 kW/354 hp from AMG
To coincide with the start of the 1999 winter season,
Mercedes-AMG now also offers a 4MATIC variant of its sporty E 55 AMG high-performance
sedan. The combination of 4MATIC and ESP provides the greatest possible
levels of safety and traction on ice or snow, cobbles or leafs, in the
wet or in other critical driving conditions. The four-wheel drive vehicle
– produced in a small series - is based on the E 430 4MATIC and is available
in sedan or wagon guise.
Like the powerful E 55 AMG the 4MATIC models are also
driven by an advanced V8 engine with a displacement of 5439 ccm. It boasts
260 kW/354 hp at 5500 rpm and provides an impressive torque of 530 Newton
meters from just 3000 rpm. It is hardly surprising therefore that the performance
of the E 55 AMG 4MATIC should be on a par with that of a sports car. The
sedan sprints from zero to 100 km/h in a mere 5.8 seconds (wagon: 6.0 sec.),
making it only marginally slower than the E 55 AMG with rear-wheel drive
(sedan: 5.7 sec., wagon: 5.9 sec.).
