Check Out a C 32 AMG Wagon Trying to Move a Dyno

Its 3.2-liter M112 V6 was using a helical twin-screw supercharger manufactured by IHI, which managed to produce no less than 14.5 psi (1 bar) of boost. This allowed the engine to output a then segment-leading 354 hp and 450 Nm (332 lb ft) of torque.

We agree that in this day and age those figures sound rather pitiful, especially considering that AMG squeezes a similar amount of power and torque from a turbocharged two-liter engine with four cylinders in the “45 AMG” series of models.

Nevertheless, the Mercedes-Benz C 32 AMG was far from being a slow car in 2001, its 5.2 seconds required to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) being similar or even better than those of a Porsche 911 (996).

While a stock model would probably lose a couple of horses in the decade or so since it left the factory, the following C 32 AMG Wagon (T-Modell or Estate, depending on country) is far from being a stock car, as the following dyno video will amusingly prove.

We have no idea what types of modifications the following car has, or why does the video uploader call it a C 55 AMG since the headlights clearly show it's a C 32 AMG, but we do know for sure that it's not making friends with that dyno.

In the brief looks we get of the computer screen, the car seems to be making around 382 hp on its best run, which is pretty good for such an old car if at the crank, and extremely good if they are calculated at the wheel.
