The condition of this car is to be considered to be excellent. There is minor "road rash" on the front bumper paint, and minor pitting of the windshield. This is consistent with the mileage driven.

This car was introduced by Mercedes Benz late in the 2003 model year.The CLK55 AMG is powered by a 5.4-liter naturally aspirated V-8 with 362 horsepower, and 376 pound-feet of torque. The engine is hand-built. The five-speed automatic is reinforced and features AMG's Speedshift programming. Sport and comfort modes adapt shift points and firmness to differing driving styles. A button shifts to the manumatic mode, and the driver can control shifts via the lever or via buttons on the back of the steering wheel. 

This is a special car since only 1500 CLK55s were to be sold in the United States. This one is also unique in color - Ice Blue. 

The car is fitted with AMG shocks, springs, and anti-roll bars providing the perfect balance between comfort and high performance. The tires are 225/45 fronts and 245/45 rears on 17-inch rims. Braking is provided by 13.6-inch-front and 11.8-inch-rear brake rotors with four-piston-front and two-piston-rear monoblock calipers respectively. 

This car sold for a base price of $70,770 when new. As optioned this specific vehicle was in the mid $82K range. We are the third owner, and bought the car from the dealer showroom floor, in January of 2006, with only 9,552 miles.

The car is designed to cruise effortlessly, but when necessary, can change its attitude, accompanied by the rich sound of a naturally aspirate V8 and an AMG tuned exhaust system. The ride is both comfortable and controlled, with good road isolation, befitting a cruiser. The rack-and-pinion steering is accurate and precise. 

This car has been driven by one person exclusively, since purchase. Maintenance has been assiduous, and at the Mercedes Benz dealership. All documentation, including the owner's manual is complete and available.

Mercedes goes boating again with G63 AMG-inspired Cigarette

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

Cigarette Racing has another Mercedes-Benz AMG-themed boat headed out to sea. After The SLS AMG-inspired 46-foot Rough Rider in 2010 and the C63 AMG Black Series-inspired 50-foot Marauder in 2012, this year's Miami Boat Show will introduce the 42-foot Huntress, theme provided by the G63 AMG.
The latest Cigarette homage is less overly racy than the ones before, befitting a watercraft modeled off a performance SUV, but don't let the looks fool: there are five Mercury Racing Verado 350SCi outboard engines, each one of them packing a supercharged inline six-cylinder with, natch, 350 horsepower. Those 1,750 horses will be good for 78 miles per hour when you've got some saltwater underneath you.
If you're in South Florida this week, Booth B-23 at the Miami Convention Center could be your best place to see it. Otherwise, like the 536-hp G63 AMG, it could be hard to catch. There's a press release with more information below.

Mercedes fits new C-Class with AMG kit

Sat, 28 Dec 2013

It's only been a week and a half since Mercedes-Benz revealed the new C-Class, and it'll likely be a while yet before the replacement for the C63 AMG comes along. But if you want to see a preview of what it'll look like, look no further than the AMG aero kit that has just surfaced.
Expected to debut on the new C-Class at the fast-approaching Detroit Auto Show, the AMG Line Exterior Pack adds a new bumpers front and rear, side skirts, dual exhaust tips, mesh grille, aluminum window frames and - most importantly - 18-inch alloys packing upgraded brakes and fitted to a lowered sport suspension. All of which will help any C-Class look the part, even if the engine remains stock.
