2001 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG E 55 AMG

Call for price

Luxsport Motor Group presents a fantastic 2001 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG finished in Brilliant Silver with a charcoal leather interior. With only 49,117 miles, this 2-owner E55 is in excellent condition throughout and has been very well maintained by its previous owner and the Mercedes Benz Dealer. It is obvious from the condition that the car has never been in any accidents and has never been driven in the winter. Everything is in working order.

Between 1999 and 2002, The Mercedes Benz E55 AMG was produced in very limited numbers. Only 3,957 E55s were produced with only 500 coming to the United States per year. 2001 production was the rarest, with a mere 653 produced. The W210 E 55 was the last vehicle for which a major portion of production took place at AMG in Affalterbach. The W210 E55 has a 5.5-liter Naturally aspirated V8 that produces 354 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. Various road tests put 0 to 60 times between 4.8 and 5.3 seconds.

Why is the 2001 Mercedes becoming very desirable by enthusiasts and collectors? Doug DeMuro, a well-known automotive journalist who owned and misses his E55 AMG, explains it perfectly. Although the original E55 wasn't as special as the 500E or as fast as the E-Class AMG models that came later, it was tremendously understated, tremendously subtle, and free from all the modern encumbrances that later Mercedes models had. There's no scroll-y wheel for the COMAND system. There's no radar cruise control, or finicky air suspension, or "active body control," or side bolsters that inflate when you're going into a corner. There's just a simple car that nobody suspects is fast, with a naturally aspirated V8 that makes 350 horsepower. Not enough for crazy speeds by modern standards, but quick enough to really have some legal fun. Interestingly, all these memories of my E55 came flooding back a few weeks ago when I visited Jay Leno's garage to tape an episode of his show. As he showed me around his collection Corvette ZR1, Lamborghini Miura, McLaren F1, McLaren P1, Carrera GT -- he pointed me towards something I recognized dearly: a 2002 Mercedes E55 AMG, in pristine condition, parked between a 300SEL 6.3 and a 300SL Gullwing. Apparently, Jay has a soft spot for this E55 AMG, too.

 

This 2001 Mercedes Benz E55 AMG comes with 2 keys, books, tools, hardwired CTEK charger, and its original Mercedes Benz optional phone. Don't miss out on this awesome car.
