The front is cool, but the butt . . . it's just butt ugly. That's why I pass them up all the time so I don't see the butt ugly butt.

NOPE!




It's more likely:

REAL GOD DAMN FREAKIN' BUTT UGLY!


And on top of it it's a MB.




But it's fast...

Actually I've seen it myself at the IAA, and it wasn't as bad IRL. But it was still BUT UGLY.

Well said.

I actually think the CLS is one of the better looking Mercedes out there. Most of their other cars look so conservative in styling but I like the CLS a lot.

I agree, I think it is the black rims that make that car look so bad.

Nice, but I don't think 0-100 in 4 sec is good for 730hp...

I would say better, that 730bhp isn't good for a v12 engine with TT. The supercharged amg 6.5 engine has an output around 620bhp. A v12 with TT setup can easily go for 850bhp or even more. Hell a mitsu evo fq400 gets 400 bhp out of 2 liters and 4 cyl in single turbo setup if i'm not mistaken. So the hp figures aren't that impresive for the engine setup.The torque is although. LOL imagine the consumption on that car...but of course at this level who cares. 3-4mpg anyone?

They probably did not tune the engine to maximum specifications....a balance must be present between power and handling....
