But leave it up to Brabus or Renntech to do something crazy like stuffing the supercharged 5.5L in there or something. Mercedes has actually trademarked the C65, CLK65, and SLK65 names. Now the idea of a C65 V12-biturbo is SCARY. It doesn't mean that they'll necessarily make them... but its a pleasant thought!

now that would be really crazy.... can they even fit the v12 in the c65?! i doubt if it could be done without major chassis mod and a much bigger engine bay?

but to certain extend i can't see how the marketing could be done though. a v12 in the c class? what price should it be going for and how can they still sell any e55 etc?

actually from MB's released data, as romi said, the C55 and C32 is almost identical in performance..C55 will look good though..personally, i am not so sure about placing this 55 V-8 into the C..

the other 55(e55, sl55, cl55, s55)..is whole another story ..btw, for those who are interested, the E55 allocation for the next 6 months are all sold out in the socal region..unless if you are ready to fork over $5-10k over msrp..then there are few dealers have them

yup, the e55 is always ordered/sold out. that's how hot the car is. surprisingly i have seen a few of them on the road (actually more than the new 5 series, haha). i just hope i can see ONE 65 car out there
