    5,2 seconds to 60mph is catastrophic! It's a 5,4 - 5,5 s 0-100 km/h time, a whole second slower than Sport Auto's result... :t-banghea

    AutoBild Sportscars' comparo with the Panamera Turbo Kit will be out this weekend, I think we'll see some impressive numbers.

    They faced wet weather and say that's the best they could achieve, but that it does not do justice to the car real capabilities.

    They must love the new CLS, they tested the 350 Petrol a couple of weeks ago. It did come out tops.

    They should make a remark in the actual data section. Because years from now, people won't read anything but the data panel, and just assume, those are the figures.

    Apparently half the 5,2 sec was spent getting to 30...

    AutoBild Sportscars test results

    CLS63 AMG Performance Package
    The car is faster without the Race Start-function.

    0-50 km/h: 2,1 s
    0-100 km/h: 4,2 s
    0-200 km/h: 12,5 s
    60-100 km/h in 4th gear: 3,3 s (!)

    Scans and full results will come next week.

    12,5 sec is what I expect the new M5 to achieve

    Great car! Can't wait to drive it.

    Make sure you let the engineers and M know that.

    Hope it`s not a repost!

    The CLS63 AMG rips off 60-mph sprints in 3.8 seconds, the quarter mile in 12 flat and 100 mph comes up in just 8.3 sec." Wow!!!:bowdown:
