Vossen Wheels LC-104 on the elegant Mercedes E55 AMG W211

Reading time 4 Min.

When I looked around in the year 2006 for a potent sedan for me only the BMW E39 M5, the Audi RS6 4B or the Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG W211 came into question! However, it quickly became apparent that both the Audi and the E55 did not fit into my budget and so I decided to go for it my carbon black metallic (later alpine white) lacquered M5. A decision that I never really regretted, the 400 hp naturally aspirated V8 engine was a poem and the vehicle itself is still really chic three model generations later. Only in relation to the performance and especially the possibility of increasing the performance was hardly possible due to the lack of charging and limited financial means. It was completely different with a friend of mine who already opted for the E55 AMG back then and not only had 80 PS more available ex works, but thanks to a chip tuning performance increase and a complete sports exhaust system and the resulting 550/580 PS in one complete played another league.

As an excuse, you have to mention that the E55 W211 is of course a newer model generation, but even with an E60 M5, the performance-enhanced E55 would not have been at a disadvantage! And even today, with the W211, and the right modifications, the current models can be really dangerous. And as far as looks are concerned, the W211 is an absolutely timeless generation that does not seem to want to age. A really great example we have this past weekend on the website of Vossen Wheels discovered because there was an E55 T-model released that was refinement with subtle modifications extremely chic. Of course, the main focus is on the 19 inch LC-104 forged wheel set made by Vossen. The rims with their extraordinary design we already have on C63 AMG, One M3 F80 or one too Porsche Cayman GT4 seen and the wheelset also looks spectacular on the Stuttgart noble truck. Of course, it also includes lowering and so the elegant T-Model was still clearly pushed towards the road. A subtle spoiler lip was installed on the front and the project is finished, which in my opinion is still absolutely contemporary and modern even after more than ten years. If we get more information about the modifications to the E55, there will of course, as always, be an update for this report.
