In January 2003, the new generation of the E-Class T-Model (S211) was unveiled at the North American International Motor Show in Detroit. It was the station-wagon version of the 2002 E-Class sedan (W211).
After the successful AMG versions on some specific vehicles, the German car-maker understood that the market wants those performances even on station-wagon shapes. Thus, it offered on the market the E55 AMG T-Model. A car that looked like a family-hauler but ran like a sports car. Or even faster.
From the outside, the E55 AMG featured an AMG body-kit with subtle cues that could differentiate it from the E500. A black mesh-grille, 18” light-alloy wheels, silver-painted calipers, and the "E55 AMG" and "V8 Kompressor" badges on the fenders. A small roof-spoiler was placed on top of the rear window.
Inside, there was room for five adults, but with the front seats featured a higher bolstering. As an option, there was a third-row seating, facing the back of the car, placed in the trunk area. So, it was a 7-seat fast wagon. The leather upholstery and the premium sound system were fitted as standard.
The 2004 E55 AMG T-Model featured the same, 5.4-liter, supercharged engine. It was mated to a standard 5-speed automatic and it was able to put shame on a Porsche Carrera on a 0 to 60 run or beat a Ferrari to the quarter-mile. Unlike its sedan sibling, the E55 T-Model featured a better weight distribution of 51/49 weight ratio.
