My Mercedes E55 AMG is the Original HELLCAT, but Rarer than a Lamborghini

Here's all of the best features of the Mercedes E55 AMG Wagon and why I chose to import it from Japan. The W211/S211 was basically responsible for every Dodge Charger Hellcat in existence thanks to Daimler-Chrysler's ownership at the time. Dodge even admitted that SRT was inspired by AMG all the way down to the 3 letter acronym.

    How sick are my wheels for my Original German Hellcat Wagon?
  • @Kan_DSU
    Thanks for fitting back the oem grill and star 😭 Love the unique rims!

    I have an 07 E63 wagon. Initial maintenance was horrible. And they are kinda fragile. But the engine's been fine. In my 5 years with it, nothing on the engine has failed. The N/A 6.3 L V8 is a marvel. It was designed by the same guy who designed the V10 in the Porsche Carrera GT. Really one of the greatest engines ever made.

    Love the grill, those wagons are so great and are so low profile to most people and the stock grill helps that look.
  • @karpetcm
    Had two e55's. Great car no major issues at all. The wagon just looks sick. Forgot to mention the wheels look really good and matches the car.

    I really enjoy your channel. I'm a subscriber to the straight pipes, but I'm definitely more of a used car guy myself. I like that you're just a normal dude who's living his dream and bringing us along for the ride! The wagon looks sick bro. Congratulations and well bought!

    Proud to have witnessed all you saying on your channel "The straight pipes" which led me here on your personal YouTube channel. Keep up the great work. Reaching you all the way Ghana 🇬🇭
  • Fire setup you got there. Keep these E55 wagon videos coming. Just got my E55 AMG wagon for Xmas (after many years of searching for the right one to come by), 05' White with VRP mods, E63 exhaust, and 1" lowering link. My kids love it; especially when I let them ride in the 3rd row.

    Love straight pipes but love your channel even more! Keep up the content brother!
  • Hi Jakub, your videos are really inspiring me to look for an older AMG. I'm looking for a W211 sedan. Hope this thing continues to treat you well and keep the content coming!
  • @mattp98z81
    Nice vid bro! Keep up the good work 🔥 subbed 🙏
  • @starkyslp16
    I prefer the look of your winter wheels. They just fit the car so well like it was meant to be. Fun to try new looks though, and I don't hate the new summers, just not my preference.
  • @fgdgrddsew2
    i was waiting for those wheels, they are amazing
  • @Gripen85
    The grill is so much better this way :D Awesome car.
  • @theozonewizard
    Funny thing, just last year I was battling with the exact same decision. I previously had a W211 which I absolutely loved, and only let go because it was totaled in an accident with a moose, and it was going to be either another one of those or a newer model. Partly inspired by you guys' video on TheStraightPipes, I ended up getting a 2019 E63S wagon. I absolutely love the car, but if I'm being totally honest, I got a bit jealous watching this video. The classic Mercedes look of the W211, especially in the front, and the hood ornament... it just does it for me. Anyways, congrats on the car and the setup!
  • @irmjbhh
    It's just perfect ❤ the wheels are 10/10 the right wheel for the right car
  • @WgnLyfeW205
    Wheels looks 🔥🔥🔥. Where did you get the lambo ride on - looking for one for my son too! Love the channel man!
  • @MyMopar383
    Nice wheels Jakub ! Hope to see you guys at another coffee and cars again.
