Well being a fellow Mercedes E Class owner it was a good feeling to watch this E55 hang with the 997 Turbo. The 996... I mean 997 Turbo comes from the factory with 480HP and does a 0-60 in 3.7 seconds while the Merc comes equipped with 469HP and a 0-60 in about 4.3 seconds. There is something to be said about a sedan with a curb weight of around 4200 lbs that can run alongside a 997 Turbo. So when you're out looking for your next family car, consider the E55.
