Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG 2005

Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta is proud to represent this 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG! The Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class is a former series of mid-size or entry-level luxury coups and convertibles produced by Mercedes-Benz between 1997 and 2010. Although its design and styling was derived from the E-Class, the mechanical underpinnings were based on the smaller C-Class, and was positioned between the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class and CL-Class. It primarily competes with the two-door BMW 3 and 6 Series, as well as the Audi A4 Cabriolet and the Maserati Coupe and its convertible variant.

The CLK55 AMG is powered by a hand-assembled 5.5-litre V8 engine. The hardware list includes super-stiff forged billet steel crankshaft, forged, weight-matched connecting rods and pistons, lightweight AMG-specific chain-driven single overhead camshafts V8 (one cam per cylinder bank) with two intake and one exhaust valves per cylinder, as well as 8 coil packs and 16 spark plugs (two spark plugs per cylinder). The ‘dual-resonance’ intake manifold with tuned runners helps optimize torque and power output by taking advantage of what Mercedes calls ‘resonant frequencies’. The engine has a high compression ratio of 10.5:1. These technologies help provide 362 HP and 376 lbft of torque.

This particular example is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Charcoal Leather upholstery. If you are in the market for a luxury sport coupe that makes the right European V8 noises, this 2005 CLK55 AMG is a great choice!
