Mercedes E55 AMG - Page 5

The new E55 AMG has a supercharged 5.4 liter V8 that put out 469 HP, and 516 lb-ft of torque. It is, without a doubt a screamer in anordinary E-class body. It should hold the power at the top until next year when BMW releases their new M5 with a 500 HP engine. P.

If you knew anything about AMG, they built their entire foundation on Automatic transmissions. Their newest one coming out in a couple of years will be an automatic 7-Speed transmission. Oh, and the E55 could dust almost any car on the road including a Ferrari 360 Modena and a Corvette Z06. Now who would want an M5 now?

If you think the E55 is "really just an E430" you have no idea what you are talking about.

Automatic transmission is what Mercedes-Benz is all about.
Mercedes Benz is one of the best automatic transmission makers in the world.
They are now the only company to produce & offer 7 speed automatic tranmissions for the market.
They are the one who produces a 5 speed automatic transmission which handles 738 lb-ft of torque with full warranty.

i think an automatic transmission is better for car with over 400 hp as a manual transmission

look at bmw. you cannot drive a bmw m5 with manual transmission without shaking. only you are real professionell.
so the most people buy a m5 with automatic transmission.

Mercedes does make their own automatic transmissions, and they had already made over 11 million of those for the last 40+ years.
The 5 speed auto transmission used in the previous generation Jaguar XKR/XJR also came from Mercedes (from S600).
