amazing. however i really don't think that Automatic transmission will hold up to THAT much power.
Why don't you think that? The torque is 760Nm compared to the S/CL 65 AMG with 1000Nm.

I don't care, I want one of these, the C32 is a great car but this is just way better.
You get used to not being able to always nail the throttle, driving my car in the wet is a good example.
more Lotto tickets this wednesday I guess :roll:

true, and look at that car! remember the Top Gear review? the car barely moves when you punch the accelerator due to wheel spin.
this C-Class has even smaller wheels to grip it to the ground...combine that with lighter weight and even smaller transmission components and it's a recipe for chaos! lola.
To me it just sounds like you don't like Mercedes. When tested in AMS (swedish version) the S65 hit 100km/h in 4.28 sec. I don't know how fast your Audi TT is but I wouldn't call that "barely moves". And to me the tyres look pretty big. Last but not least, don't forget that the Kleeman C55K S8 has a 60% limited slip diff.

god damn.. i can't even imagine driving that beast... driving my dad's C240 sport with the 6-speed manual is fun enough... I just wish they made more manual transmissions.. especially because the quality of the manual isn't that nice compared to BMW

I love the merc of course....if i had enough money to buy id make some changes...perhaps id put some good manual gearbox such as Getrag, or Hewland...I dont mind if the gearbox isnt too soft.......the thing that id do with the merc for sure its just to change the badges, wheels....and leave the car exactly with the same appearance as the C55 AMG...thx for the pics Martin 100, they are great....

Great color too.
Did they paint it specially or is that a stock AMG color?

Yeah... might be fast but its still an ugly C class

600hp in a c-class is going too far. Why would you spend all that money on a c-class with so much power. It will definatly have the same problem as the cl65, that car is way lighter than a cl so i can only imagine the tire smoke

Remember that it holds up with a Porsche CGT or Merc SLR in a 0-60mph race...

I really just love the NA power ^^^ sure i love power adders (NOS is my fav.) But i feel its cheating in a way, i don't know. But NOS is the best, no i am no a 2F2F ricer, if done right its the best way to add power.

Really good car, but 600bhp for a sedan is too much. I would prefer a coupe :P
The exhausts are awesome :o

I'm just stating my opinion, but these cars seem more and more like they're for drag racing, or just going very fast in a straight line. If you're paying that much that dam thing better turn. I could buy a Pontiac Formula, put 2g's in mods, and kill this car in a straight line(and be more reliable), but then again it's not a Merc.

I like the power output on this car, but IMO it's a bit bored to see this C-Class...maybe Kleemann should experiment on other newer merc cars (SLK for example)

would you splooge if i told you i sat in a CL55, a C55, an S55, and touched a E55 at the same place? Or would you splooge if i told you there was a Brabus/Kleeman dealer down the street?
