This is probably the first D segment AMG that was actually equal to its BMW M3 counterpart. In a straight line that is.

A 1999 C55? Wasn't it the C43 back then?
-Yes,there was,but this wasn't ordinary C-class AMG built in series,you could only get it by ordering it specially.
Only a small number of these has been made and orders for this car and also for other special AMGs of that time (like S 63 AMG or CL 63 AMG)have been taken for only short period of time.
Rather exclusive and rare car.

The weight data is wrong. 1570kg not 1495kg. Please correct it.
