Key strengths: Ultimate high end driving machine
Areas for improvement: None - yet...
For the fortunate few who are wealthy enough to buy this car, this has got to be the ultimate Mercedes. I haven't experienced anything like it it my entire life! It's damn gorgeous, and the engine packs an amazing 493 horsepower and 516 pounds of torque, enough to get yourself killed! Its 0-60 time is clocked at 4.3 seconds, which makes it king of the road. My only reservation with the car is that it will give valets wicked ideas, and Motor Trend magazine seems to share my concern. The bottom line is: this isn't a car to park on the street. But that's no big deal; if I want to drive in the city I'll take my Jaguar X-type instead. The running costs for Mercedes CL Class 5.5L supercharged 493hp V8 Automatic are very high
