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...

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...

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

Car & Driver got the CLS550 to 60 in 4.5 secs... so yeah,I was kind of surprised to see those numbers as well.

Great car! Can't wait to drive it.

Make sure you let the engineers and M know that.

Hope it`s not a repost!

"2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG - Road Test Update
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!!!
