The swedish version of Auto Motor Sport tested the MB S65 AMG.
With GPS they noted (km/h):
0 - 100 in 4.28 secs (faster than factory claims)
0 - 200 in 13.22 secs.
0 - 250 in 21.60 secs.
They used an S4 V8 and a GT3 as reference.
When the S4 is about to hit 200 km/h (in 21.89 secs.) the S65 is already doing 250 km/h... :bigeyes:
The GT3 does 0 - 200 km/h in 15.68 secs and is left long behind as well.
Unfortunately it seems they had an accident on their way back from the testing. :(

The battle wounds of the S65 is quite minimal considering the damage to the other vehicle involved...
Seems the S65 can go at gallactic speeds with relative ease. :bigeyes:

The CL65, by sport auto. Note that the Hockenheim time is not that bad. Much better than anyone here would expect if I let you guess, right?
M5 / RS6 time - and on the straights it's bye bye...
I have driven the CL65 and I can't say that I really liked it.
The acceleration is indeed insane, but I need "more" when I buy a car.
But I'd rather use it to go from here to the Côte d'Azur than any Porsche. (ok, the Carrera GT then)
And then I would have to be able to afford one...

Perhaps. Remeber I wrote 'indicates'.
But it's quite unusual to use the broad band access for that...
But in Solvesborg, Sweden, it is in fact +22C and sunshine.

Speaking of CL65, have you guys watched this video? (http://www.flixvault.org/topgear_video/150.zip)
I must confess I wasn't impressed...
