📚 Vehicle History

Brand Heritage

Brand Heritage:

Mercedes-Benz, founded in 1926, has a long-standing reputation for engineering excellence, luxury, safety, and performance. AMG, the high-performance division, was integrated into Mercedes-Benz in the late 1990s, bringing its specialized tuning and motorsport expertise.

Model Evolution

Model Evolution:

The W203 C-Class generation (2000-2007) was a significant step forward in design and technology for the C-Class. The C55 AMG, introduced for the 2005 model year, replaced the supercharged C32 AMG (W203) and marked a return to a larger, naturally aspirated V8 for the C-Class performance variant. It was the last C-Class to feature a naturally aspirated V8 until the W205 C63 S in a later generation.
