There is my google translation:

New Outfit for the C-class


Already before introduction of the ėr combination Mercedes refurbishes for four years the C-class built then in February 2004. In the center thereby a stylistic revision, the conclusion is located to make is with the often criticized, not to the preisklasse appropriate quality seeming. Future C-class-buyers may expect a again co-ordinated chassis, without having to accept Eibussen at the Mercedes typical suspension comfort.


The gloss light of the Mercedes Modellpflege, forms a new AMG version of the C-class, which will give it as before as sedan and as combination. In order to take it off optically more than so far from the weaker series variants, it receives a differente front portion, which avails itself of stylistic loans with the CLK. The star will sit like used above however not in the radiator grille, but on the hood. The tail signature announces the most important: C 55 AMG stands there, which means the parting from the current V6-Motor with compressor. Under the hood, like already once with C 43 AMG, an eight cylinder engine, this time however in the sumptuous 5,5-Liter-Variante, sits which become thereby the standard drive from AMG. A achievement Overkill with the compressor variant, which carries out up to 500 HP, would have been for the C-class however too much of the good one. Instead C has 55 AMG the suction version of the V8, which brings it on 367 HP. The power transmission effected by means of the well-known five-stage mechanism, to a later time comes however also the new filter course mechanism to the employment. A handschaltung, as there are it with the competitor M3, is not planned.

hahaha...i like the m shoe. Damn C55 is gonna be real nice but its crazy how with just a pulley kit a C32 can be putting out the same numbers as that v8. Benz is holding out too much on the potential of the v8.
