How long does it take to run a quarter mile in a Mercedes CLS55?
The CLS55 takes only 4.2 seconds to run to 60 mph, and the quarter-mile falls in 12.5 seconds at 115 mph. The E55 in last year’s comparison test got to 60 in 4.3 seconds and posted an identical 12.5-second quarter at a marginally faster 116 mph.
How big is the Mercedes Benz CLS55 AMG?
The CLS rides on the same 112.4-inch wheelbase as the E55, has the same 469-hp supercharged V-8, five-speed automatic transmission, rack-and-pinion steering, and touchy electrohydraulic brakes.

What kind of car is the Mercedes CLS?
It’s not a claustrophobic place—the materials are too nice for that—but our test car wore charcoal leather upholstery that, like a young Darth Vader, tended toward the dark side.

Why is Mercedes CL55 AMG considered a used car?
