OK all you Mercedes Proffesionals, can you tell me if Merc made a 4cyl E55 AMG?

Question

Ok Guys how do I know if Merc made a 4cyl AMG or not, is there an id somewhere on the car to say? How can I tell? Thanks Marty Down under.

Answer 1

Absolutely not, never.

The E55 AMG has always had an 8 cylinder engine..

The most recent version of the E55 AMG sedan by Mercedes Benz had a 5.5L Supercharged V8 (now replaced by the E63 AMG, which has - you guessed it - a 6.3L V8, naturally aspirated though)

The previous version of the E55 based on the older E-Class sedan (1996 - 2001 models), also had an 8-cylinder 5.5L engine, also naturally aspirated..

Therefore, I assure you my Ozzie friend that neither Mercedes Benz nor its in-house tuner AMG ever made a 4-cylinder E55, because that simply would not make sense :)

Answer 2

Don't think so AMG is a tuner mostly of bigger Benz cars E-55. S class modified 5.5 liter motor placed in an E class car. The 4 cyl engine mostly says compressior on the trunk and is just supercharged. AMG badging will be everywhere fenders trunk and door jamb.

Answer 3

The number usually refers to the engine capacity. 55 would be 5.5 litres, far too large for a (modern) 4-cyl engine. Most MB 4 cyls are 2.2 litres or less capacity. Most engines over 4 litres are V8s or V12s.

Answer 4

No. Never.
