Some guys might remember the AMS article about the high-speed testing in Nardo - the SL55 was fastest from 0-300 despite "only" 476 hp at that time - they raised the official figures to 500 hp pretty shortly afterwards though I heard some people assume that there was no difference to the engine done at all and that there is no difference in the engines for the particular model ranges (E-class and the higher priced AMG-models). I haven't driven the car so I can only rely on numbers!



No other SL55/E55 has reproduced the acceleration of the Nardo-SL55 ever since, not even closely. Even the SLR is slower

So rest assured that the Nardo-SL55 had a very special engine installed...
