E55 AMG (2003–2006)
The E55 AMG is powered by the M113 ML55 engine, a 5.4 L http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V8_engine with a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin-screw_type_supercharger type http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercharger manufactured by IHI. The E55's engine was tuned to 476 PS (350 kW; 469 hp) and 700 N·m (520 lb·ft), the low end of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes_AMG#55 due to its longer exhaust system, compared to the Shorter Exhaust system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_SL-Class's engine at the high end which made 517 PS (380 kW; 510 hp) and 720 N·m (530 lb·ft).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W211#cite_note-9http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W211#cite_note-10 Despite this, Car and Driver reported in their testing that the E55 AMG was faster than the SL55 AMG.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W211#cite_note-11 The E55 AMG was the fastest four door car in Mercedes-Benz's lineup at the time, being quicker than the C32 AMG and S55 AMG, and it posts faster acceleration than the 2003 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabus_E_V12 biturbo (verified by the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest saloon car in the world at the time) as well.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W211#cite_note-12
The supercharged 5.4 L http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V8_engine was mated to the Speedshift http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5G-Tronic, which has a torque capacity of 796 lb·ft (1,079 N·m), as the newer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7G-Tronic introduced in 2003 is limited to 542 lb·ft (735 N·m), not enough to handle the torque from the supercharged V8.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W211#cite_note-insideline1-13http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W211#cite_note-14
