I didn't even know they made the E55 in a wagon.. so that's the 469 HP right?

Is that available in the US or just Europe?

[PATo355]

I think its just available in europe , and it has more like 500 hp i believe

I guess you can get it if your "in" with the dealer, here in the US. Because the guy lives in Napa Valley, CA:

Hey Nurbrun,

I just checked out your photo album...where were the photos of the Carerra GT taken? I couldn't help but notice the beat-down Geo Storm in the background of one of the shots. =)

I think it's very hard to get...at the very least, it was just released and to have it already, you have to have some type of "connection" with a dealer to get it.

SikX5: it is an E55 wagon, the owner posted the picture:

EDIT: Found how he got it.

Calling it world's fastest station wagon, Mercedes-Benz quietly debuted the 469-horsepower E55 AMG estate at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show. You'll need to look hard to identify this new AMG model, which hauls both family and ass with equal capability.

From the outside, only the 18-inch, split-spoke alloy wheels, subtle badges, and a tasteful body kit warn teenagers in Daddy's Infiniti G35 Coupe that they are about to get a good spanking. Modifications are minimal inside, with Nappa leather-upholstered sport seats, special black Birdseye maple wood trim, and a smattering of AMG badges in evidence to remind the driver that this is one wicked wagon.

Mash the throttle, and it's clear that the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG Wagon isn't your everyday grocery getter. With it's supercharged and intercooled 5.5-liter V8 engine, 469 horses, and 516 lb.-ft. of torque, this road rocket races to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds according to Mercedes-Benz. Power is delivered to the 265/35 Z-rated rear tires through a five-speed Speedshift automatic with shift paddles mounted to the steering wheel.

Other performance modifications include upgraded brakes, bigger performance tires, an AMG-massaged Airmatic suspension, and a reprogrammed stability control system designed to optimize the driving experience at the limit.

Standard equipment includes adaptive front airbags, side-impact and side-curtain airbags with a rollover sensing system, and seatbelt pretensioners. Every 2006 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG will also include four-zone automatic climate control and a Harmon Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system.

Prices have not been announced, but expect to pay a slight premium over the E55 AMG sedan for this hot-rod AMG wagon when it arrives later this year.

Having a big AMG badge on the back or a merc isnt wat I call sleeper, even an RS6, just looking at it quickly u know its no ordinary audi.

Even someone thats not into cars would know an AMG is not stock :wink:

Now if it was an A-Class with a 500bhp... now thats a sleeper. :mrgreen:

Oops...sure you meant Mercedes and not Audi. :wink:

I think the owner said he just de-badged his car...

I still think it's a sleeper, because it's so understated...no big flares, etc. Even the sedan is a sleeper, but for all the press it gets. "1WKDWGN" would be my license plate...by the time they realize it's no ordinary Benzo wagon, all they'll see if the license plate and the AMG badge. :lol:
