| Re: E55 AMG with 4matic? The owner's teen-ager son is a big time ricer & owns a riced out Civic with 4 exhausts & Porsche's turbo emblem! He mistakenly ordered 4-matic sticker on ebay & later came to know Civic is fwd! Look, where the badge ended!

| Hello everyone!! Yes, the E 55 Amg 4matic did exist; it was only sold in Europe, never in the states and as someone quoted, all of them were E 430 transformed into E 55s. As far as I know, only differences were how high the car sits from the road -itīs taller than normal E 55s because of the 4matic- and that it can not fit the airmatic suspension that E 55s had - I donīt know if this was because of being made from E 430 that never had this suspension as an option- apart from that, I read that its considerably faster through bends than normal E 55 due to the 4matic allowing far less intervention of the ESP system and also easier to drive. Thanks a lot |

| I didn't know this. Never heard of such a car. But given all the traction issues on 55 AMGs, I secretly asked myself why didn't they offer them as 4-Matic, so that the giant torque could actually be used to move the car instead of re-painting the road with tyres marks or powering the ESP-light... I imagine the 0-100 and overall performances must be hugely improved with 4-Matic!
