STUTTGART, Germany -- DaimlerChrysler now has an acknowledgment to and : the C32 AMG. And it is accessible in the U.S. as a auto and in Europe as both a auto and a wagon.

This time, AMG (Mercedes-Benz's achievement car division) did not bead a larger-displacement V-8 powerplant into the agent bay of the new as it did with the CLK55 AMG. The analogously continued V-8 could accept acquired problems in affair government aboveboard blast standards and agitated the car's weight distribution.

Instead, a supercharged adaptation of the all-aluminum 18-valve, 90-degree V-6 in the C320 was developed for the C32. The new 3.2-liter engine's ability achievement has been aloft to 349 bhp at 6100 rpm from 215 bhp at 5700 in the commonly aspirated version. Peak torque of 332 lb.-ft. comes at 4400 rpm, of which 90 percent is accessible from 2300 to 6100 rpm. Alone 5.1 abnormal is bare for the AMG to advance from a standstill to 60 mph. The quarter-mile mark can be accomplished in 13.6 sec. at a acceleration of 105.4 mph.

The supercharger is a multi-V-belt-driven, twin-rotor Lysholm screw-type instead of the Roots-type assemblage of added supercharged models. It feeds the agent with the almighty aerial addition burden of 14.5 psi through an air/water intercooler with a abstracted baptize ambit activated by an electric pump. Both the supercharger and intercooler are amid central the vee formed by the two banks of cylinders. The artificial crankshaft and pistons, the abutting rods, the alveolate camshafts (one per bank), the valve springs, the oil pump, the antithesis shaft and, of course, the engine-management arrangement are all new to ensure believability and college performance.

To advice accumulate ammunition burning at a reasonable level, the engine's compression arrangement is set at 9.0:1. And for the aforementioned reason, the supercharger is advised to abstract by an electromagnetic clamp during low-load operation, back supercharging is unnecessary.

As there is no readily accessible chiral gearbox in the Mercedes-Benz genitalia bin advised to address the C32 engine's 332 lb.-ft. of torque, AMG has upgraded the C320's 5-speed automated chiral to accomplish it adequate for the enthusiast driver. This gearbox is alleged Speedshift because its adapted software after-effects in 35 percent quicker about-face times compared with the accepted version, and it does so after austere abasement of about-face smoothness.

When cornering at added than 0.5g, the Speedshift's adaptive about-face affairs retains whichever accessory is engaged. It additionally accouterment bottomward beforehand than in the accepted C320 whenever the brakes are activated with vigor. In the sportier S position of the selector, 5th accessory is excluded. From this or the D position, the about-face batten can be acclimated to baddest any accessory (as continued as it's accordant with the car's speed) in consecutive approach by affective it alongside to the larboard for downshifting, or to the appropriate for upshifting.

There is a alcove clamp that operates on every gear, extenuative ammunition and accouterment a crisp, actual acknowledgment to accelerator inputs, as befits a sports car. This is an automated that should go a continued way against authoritative avant-garde automatics adequate alike to abiding addicts of chiral transmissions, and to allure left-foot brakers.

AMG realizes that it would be capricious to access the C32's application achievement by 62 percent after advance the C320's anatomy to match. It has accustomed as abundant absorption to the abeyance bureaucracy as it did to the powerplant. The C32 AMG rides 1.2 in. lower than the C320 with moderately stiffer springs, shock absorbers and thicker anti-roll bars. Added 17-in. auto accomplish allowance for the 13.6-in. vented advanced anchor discs and the 11.8-in. rear discs.

These enhancements accomplish the C32 anchor and handle like a sports car. On the analysis track, the car bare alone 118 and 211 ft. to appear to a arrest from corresponding 60- and 80-mph ABS agitation stops. Dynamically, understeer is basal through our slalom course, consistent in a quick boilerplate acceleration of 64.0 mph. And about our 200-ft. skidpad, the AMG achieves 0.86g, assuming added affirmation of understeer behavior.

On the road, the C32 AMG reacts able-bodied to adamantine cornering by moderately axis into the angle back the accelerator is eased. Roll is able-bodied checked. And acknowledgment to the suspension's harder-than-standard elastic bushings and the abstinent speed- acute ability assist, the council feels absolute and has acceptable feedback.

Standard on the C32 AMG is Cyberbanking Stability Affairs (ESP), which includes cyberbanking brake-force administration (EBD) that leaves little allowance for alive drivers to adore their own accomplishment in authoritative the car. However, on wet roads, it is absolutely useful, abnormally in appearance of the ability and torque available. On dry pavement, on a clue or on abundance roads, it is added acceptable to about-face off the ESP. In this case, EBD and ABS abide alive to advice traction, which is decidedly good, address in apperception that the rear auto backpack beneath than bisected the car's weight.

Although the allurement to drive this AMG adamantine is considerable, it responds appropriately able-bodied to a added airy style. The C32 is aloof as blessed and bashful in cartage as any C-Class model. It rides absolutely calmly on continued trips, and acerbity is never evident. But as anon as the burke pedal is depressed, the supercharger is activated and its accomplished ability at low rpm gives the consequence that a abundant larger-capacity agent is at assignment beneath the hood. As the agent revs build, it progressively emits a added antic sound, accent by a slight aural hiss reminding the disciplinarian that it is supercharged. At faster speeds, alone the babble of the wind hasty about the car dominates, alike admitting it is absolutely low. And there is so abundant accessible torque from the supercharged agent that aloft the 100-mph mark, the car is still acquisitive to advance adamantine against its electronically-governed best acceleration of 155 mph.

Apart from the C32 AMG logo on the rear of the car, alien cues hinting at this automobile's abeyant are few and low-key. The new advanced brim is not ostentatious; akin for the aerodynamically optimized rocker console trim. Alone the aristocracy would apprehension the beyond and added wheels. Central the car, the excellent, power-operated advanced action seats accommodate added crabbed support. Advanced and rear seats are adipose in high-quality leather. There is a appropriate AMG action council wheel, and in our European-spec analysis car, the speedometer is calibrated up to 186 mph (300 km/h).

Mercedes-Benz expects to advertise 1000 C32 AMGs per year in the States with the sticker amount in the low $50,000 range.

As Auto, Motor und Action biographer Wolfgang Koenig wrote: The C32 AMG "looks like a C-Class, is a C-Class, costs as abundant as an S-Class and can drive Porsche drivers to despair."
