Robindebean & Shanthan60...maybe next time you guys should do a little more research first before making a statement.

he right though... an e55 wud b 13k... its nt the type of car u drive... its the capacity of ur engine, so if a 6.0l costs around 15k... the 5.5l must be around that too...

very nice shot bro

i think u need think about it b4 make a post

yeah, it would be a good idea to read up on this a bit more before you post further.

guess wad car is this?

55 doesn't mean 5.5. The 55 cars have supercharged 5.4 V8s.

See the 600 (S600, CL600, SL600)? Not all of them have 6.0 V12s.
Take this as an example, the R129 SL600, it had a naturally aspirated 6.0 V12, but the successor, the R230 SL600, had a lower engine capacity with only 5.5 litres, but boosted by biturbos.
Currently, all 600 badged models share twin-turbocharged 5.5s.
The 65 AMG models, such as SL65, CL65, S65, CLS65, etc., uses a 6.0, but has the biturbo.

A few examples -

B/C/E/200 - 1.8; three variants - NA, Turbo (B200), Kompressor
C/E/CLK/SLK/230 - 2.3; NA (older), mostly Kompressor. Some C230s are 1.8s (Supercharged), some are V6s.

Currently, if I'm not mistaken, the 3.5 (350) is the only engine that is being used by the all/most of the models.

The badge behind a car isn't indicative of engine capacity, but is more a marketing tool to differentiate between tune, trim and price levels of cars within a model range.

Guess for what? Isn't it obvious?
Anyhow it doesn't belong in this thread. Sorry.

Noted.
Did ask Roland San for this.
Thanks.

im sorry but how big of an anorak do you have to be...
it is a rough guide line...
so infact there is notins wrong with the statements made b4, as it does somewhat denote the number of liters of the car.
now as a known fact mercedes always(since their early years, and as a bit of a tradition) made the model no of their cars 200 cc less as a way of being subtle and modest for the higher classes. as you can see by the e280 which i had, it had a 2998cc engine, 3 liters so yea,


ITS JUST A GUIDELINE PPL...

it used to be, but not anymore... nowdays its all about them turbo's... but they still retain the same digits... and lets be honest, SL65 AMG sounds way better than SL60 AMG, am i right?

Is there a SL 60? Sorry guys, I've know of the SL55 and the SL63, but I've never heard of an SL60...

I checked in wikipedia for Merc SL-Class. There is SL 60.
