 Speed and comfort

My uncle just bought this car and let me take it for a drive, and it was deffinatly the best ride I've ever been in. I found that you didn't feel the speed as much as in a Porsche and I was surprised to look down and find myself going over 190 kmh. The interior is also top notch. Unlike many sport cars that give you just the basics (Porsche, Ferrari etc.), I found wood trim, hand-stitched leather ventilated and heated seats plus navigation. I'm not sure what the options are for transmission, but I drove a manumatic sixspeed which felt very smooth whether shifting manual or letting the autobox do the work. I'd like to see paddle shifting as an option. For those that can put up the cash, this is deffinatly a great choice. Super-car performance, daily driver comfort.
 Truly interesting...

"Ralliart77; if what you say is true then the product can be expected to be phenomenal. The twin turbo V12 already gracing the CL600 is producing 500hp and 800Nm from the Mercedes factory, the potential for an AMG tuned version of this engine is mind blowing. AMG could easily develop the CL to supercar slaying territory. If Mercedes don't watch themselves they could easily have an in-house rival to their upcoming Vision SLR!! Here's hoping BMW, Audi and others will match them step for step as an incredible batch of cars could be the only result =) (And here's hoping for manual gearboxes too!)"""
 STOP PRESS!

for all u speed demons out there....AMG is producing a V12 version of the CL as a soft top. Yes finally we have a 4 seater convertible from benz worthy of the marque. Expected hp....well maybe 550+?. Imagine the possibilities. Insiders say they re going to use a tweaked version of the Maybach V12 engine.
 Tons of power but no body mods

There is no doubt that brabus can tune anything and put out tons of power but i wish that they would at least give it some distinguishing body modifications. Its too bad that the c coupe and the c class look the same except for the fact that the c coupe is a two door version. And even though this is a brabus, if i saw it going down the road, i would not be able to tell if it was a brabus until it was fairly close. But the 500 horses under the hood make up for the body. This will be a strong competitor in the exotic sports cars. But the fact that it is a front engine does limit its abilities. But it will still be something to reckon with when you see it in the rearview mirror of your Ferrari 360 Spider.
 Top of the tops...

This coupe is top of the tops in the Mercedes- Benz car production. Only the long-expected SLR can beat it.this is the current peak of the automotive industry.However,I am sure that Mercedes could have put more than 500hp in this CL AMG.
 CL55 OMG!!!
