New Mercedes-AMG GLE “Edition 55” models continue AMG’s 55th anniversary celebrations

Mercedes-AMG “55th Edition” models continue as the brand celebrates the historic anniversary year.

Mercedes-AMG has dedicated this year to launching “Edition 55” models to celebrate 55 years of AMG. Since 1967, the German house has been dedicated to bringing out the performance potential of Mercedes-Benz cars, and since becoming part of the Mercedes-Benz brand, that dedication has been more than fulfilled with legendary cars and band feats. The latest model to receive the “55 Edition” treatment is the Mercedes-Benz GLE SUV, along with the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, with a new look designed to celebrate AMG’s rich history.

With 22-inch AMG cross-spoke forged wheels and an AMG badge on the sides of the car, combined with the AMG Night package, the “55 Edition” looks elegant and special. A black and red interior, matching the rest of the “Edition 55” models, is accented with “Edition 55” lettering, signatures and badging, from the steering wheel to the seats, including the center console palm rest. Of course, the true AMG signature is performance, and with the GLE 53 coupe and SUV, 0-60 mph acceleration happens in just 5.2 seconds with 429 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque. With the GLE 63 Coupe and SUV, 0-60 is even faster at just 3.7 seconds, with 603 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque inline. It’s no wonder Mercedes-Benz gave the GLE the honor of being a performance SUV that celebrates 55 years of performance prowess.
