[W126 Coupe] real or fake

[Dawid Loubser]

Well, if the C55 AMG *sounded* like it had a nice V8 in it, then it  
must have been real.
The other one may have been a C32 AMG - doesn't have the sound, but  
almost just as fast. On the other hand, it may have
been a standard C-class with a body kit. The only way to tell is to  
look if it has the AMG seats, instrumentation, etc, etc inside,
or look at the engine :-)

The C55 AMG is a special model with a longer nose (something like  
5cm) and wider track (+flared front arches) to help
accommodate that big V8.

What do you mean "they weren't the CLS style" ?
