AMG has done a CDI??
 

I was poking around for info on E400 CDI's (what an awesome car, wish they would sell it here)....turns out AMG made a C30 CDI!
Specs: 5cyl CDI, 231hp, 398 (!!) lb-ft
Funny though, with all that power its 0-60 is slower than that of the E320 CDI's being sold here (well, not in CA...and what am I talking about by "slower," either one will smoke the E300 :D)

Note "Kann ich fahren?" simply means "May I drive?"

I know AMG tuned C-class CDIs for a short time, like in 2002 or 2003.

C30CDI AMG

2.7L OM612 bored to 3.0L and used the larger GT2259V turbo.

Here is a good dyno video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DXQtFiF8-8
284hp and 660Nm (487ft/lbs)

soo much smoke.. -drool-

Either MB is dramatically underrating their diesel cars, or they are fudging numbers. I find it hard to believe an E350 with 60 hp more, and being a lighter car, be almost identically as quick as the CDI both to 60 mph and the quarter mile despite the massive deficit.

According to MB CDI's of the past, normal acceleration was 0-60 mph in 7.5 - 8 seconds for a 200 hp I6 CDI (first generation). Now a 208 hp CDI can chop a second and a half off with just 10 more hp, more curb weight, and that 7 speed transmission which is less effective at aiding performance for a high torque engine.

CDI AMG wagon??!! Give me one now.
