///AMG



I've been to their factory in Affalterbach. This was during the days when the SL55 AMG was brand new and the CLK55 and E55 AMG were about to be released. Got spy shots of those two cars!

You don`t post here often Alex and when you do your efforts are always a pleasure to read. This is fantastic.. I remember the 300E 6.0 back in the day, wow!

Isn`t it amazing how MB never changes their large displacement- hi horsepower formula. It`s always been there and always will be.

Re: A Look Back At AMG's Illustrious 40 Year History

One question , why does this CLK63 black series reach its maximum torque at over 5000 rpm , if the E63 for example reaches it at arround 4500 rpm ? Just curious ...

Good question. I don't know why as well.
