With the restyling of April 2004, the Mercedes AMG C32 gave way to the C55, whose V8 developed 367 horsepower. But more than performance, which all in all remained close to that of the C32, the C55 stood out for the unmistakable sound of the V8 and for better handling on the road (less roll, more direct steering). The C55 was produced until 2007.
