The Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG
accelerates from 0 to 60
mph in just 4.5 seconds and has an
electronically limited maximum speed of 155 mph. The CLS55 AMG boasts AMG sports suspension, a high-performance AMG braking system plus
AMG bodystyling and made its market debut in January
2005.
As with the other AMG high-performance cars, the engine power is transferred to
the wheels via the AMG SPEEDSHIFT five-speed automatic transmission. This allows
the driver to choose between fully automatic or manual gear changes, the latter
being possible by using either the selector lever or the gearshift buttons on
the ergonomic AMG sports steering wheel. The powerplant is superbly complemented
by the AMG sports suspension and by the AMG high-performance braking system. The
CLS55 AMG features AIRMATIC DC semi-active air suspension with an adaptive
damping system; this suspension set-up has been specially modified for AMG by
giving it tauter tuning. Large, internally ventilated and perforated brake discs
make for impressive deceleration and high fading resistance.
