The condition of this car is to be considered to be excellent. There is minor "road rash" on the front bumper paint, and minor pitting of the windshield. This is consistent with the mileage driven.

This car was introduced by Mercedes Benz late in the 2003 model year.The CLK55 AMG is powered by a 5.4-liter naturally aspirated V-8 with 362 horsepower, and 376 pound-feet of torque. The engine is hand-built. The five-speed automatic is reinforced and features AMG's Speedshift programming. Sport and comfort modes adapt shift points and firmness to differing driving styles. A button shifts to the manumatic mode, and the driver can control shifts via the lever or via buttons on the back of the steering wheel. 

This is a special car since only 1500 CLK55s were to be sold in the United States. This one is also unique in color - Ice Blue. 

The car is fitted with AMG shocks, springs, and anti-roll bars providing the perfect balance between comfort and high performance. The tires are 225/45 fronts and 245/45 rears on 17-inch rims. Braking is provided by 13.6-inch-front and 11.8-inch-rear brake rotors with four-piston-front and two-piston-rear monoblock calipers respectively. 

This car sold for a base price of $70,770 when new. As optioned this specific vehicle was in the mid $82K range. We are the third owner, and bought the car from the dealer showroom floor, in January of 2006, with only 9,552 miles.

The car is designed to cruise effortlessly, but when necessary, can change its attitude, accompanied by the rich sound of a naturally aspirate V8 and an AMG tuned exhaust system. The ride is both comfortable and controlled, with good road isolation, befitting a cruiser. The rack-and-pinion steering is accurate and precise. 

This car has been driven by one person exclusively, since purchase. Maintenance has been assiduous, and at the Mercedes Benz dealership. All documentation, including the owner's manual is complete and available.

Recharge Wrap-up: KillaJoule hits 270 mph; Mercedes B-Class ED gets PlugShare

Wed, Sep 24 2014

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive will get its own version of the PlugShare charging-station locator app. Developed by Recargo with the help of Daimler, the vehicle-specific app will be integrated into the car's navigation system. The system maps the location of nearby charging stations from various networks. So far, Mercedes-Benz doesn't offer a universal pay service for the various charging networks, like those offered by BMW and Nissan. Read more at Green Car Reports. HyperSolar uses solar energy to make hydrogen from water. Without using electrolyzers, HyperSolar uses a photochemical process to separate and capture the hydrogen in the water, which can then be used for clean energy, such as automotive fuel cells. The solar devices are submerged in water inside a container, and sunlight powers the device to free the hydrogen. HyperSolar claims that its process is more efficient and cost effective than other methods used to produce hydrogen from water. See some demonstrations in the videos below and learn more at HyperSolar's website. Eva Hakansson drove the KillaJoule electric motorcycle to a top speed of 270.224 miles per hour. After a computer model showed a possibility of about 270 mph, the team took the motorcycle with sidecar out to the salt flats for Mike Cook's Shootout. Everything went smoothly, and Hakansson easily surpassed speeds of the 249.1-mph world record she set a few weeks ago. The team is calling it quits for the season, but will make some tweaks to the KillaJoule in hopes of getting 300 mph out of the red bullet next year.

Race Recap: 2015 Hungarian Grand Prix is Magyar for 'What a race!'

Mon, Jul 27 2015

Every driver on the Formula 1 grid dreams of taking home the silverware, but only one driver each year can do it. Barring disaster in 2015 it looks like it's going to be Lewis Hamilton. The Brit has been so dominating at the front of the grid on Saturday, we can't see how he'll miss out on winning the second annual FIA Pole Position Trophy. That's the accolade introduced last season in another manufactured attempt to give drivers something to work for on Saturday, since the FIA felt leading into the first corner didn't have the pull it used to. Hamilton took his ninth pole of the season in Hungary for Mercedes-AMG Petronas with a crushing lap that put him almost six tenths ahead of his teammate Nico Rosberg in second. All Hamilton needs is one more spot at the top of the grid this season, and he's the Pole Position trophy winner. Thrilling stuff. Behind Rosberg the gaps stayed smaller, Sebastian Vettel in the Ferrari a little more than a tenth behind Rosberg, Daniel Ricciardo in the Infiniti Red Bull Racing less than four one-hundredths behind Vettel. We feel almost as vexed watching Kimi Raikkonen as he feels driving – he's finally got a good Ferrari, now he can't get a good weekend. The front wing broke on his car in Free Practice 1, then a water leak in Free Practice 3 robbed him of setup time on the soft tire. He lines up in fifth about two tenths behind Ricciardo. The slow, tight Hungaroring didn't agree with the Williams chassis, Valtteri Bottas the first of the Grove team drivers in sixth, his teammate Felipe Massa two places back. Between them is Daniil Kvyat in the second Red Bull in seventh. Teenager Max Verstappen put in a good showing in the Toro Rosso to grab ninth, while Romain Grosjean in a wriggling, squishy, sliding Lotus classified his appearance in Q3 at all as "a miracle." As for the race that followed, we don't expect to see another like it for a long time – it was the real thrilling stuff, one shock after another. The drama began after the first parade lap, when Felipe Massa lined up out of position and the start was aborted. The drivers did another parade lap, then lined up with everyone in place. Mercedes got swamped as soon as the lights went out. Vettel ran around both of them and led the race into the first turn, Raikkonen had come from fifth to third by Turn 1, then got the inside line on Rosberg through Turn 2 to take second place.
