Mercedes CLS 500 acceleration

[@gjgeurts9372]

That's ±7s 0-100 on a cold, rural back road and the ESP fighting for grip up to 75km/h. On a grippy warm road you could loose almost 2s, but you will have to feather the power in from standstill to avoid breaking traction. Great enigines these are.

[@paulchapman7862]

yup... 100% these cars' stats were under rated... on paper they're conservative... real-world? A bit quicker

[@alexp-de]

should have been much quicker but youre tires spun all the time. no tire profile left?

[@parveenakhtar4996]

You can go to 300 if you accelerate more to meter down and get your phone hook up some Bluetooth and push the accel

[@dayne2973]

No traction all the way up to 100 km/h what a beast!

[@dailycardriving4642]

Is the v8 reliable enough for a daily driver?

[@doggeorge1196]

Yes

[@dimademochkin3028]

Very very reliable its the same engine (almost) as a 2006 cls 55 amg BUTT the cls 55 amg has supercharger and the 55 amg engine is upgraded with stronger parts like connecting rods ect..

M113 is bulletproof

[@haramaschabrasir8662]

Warm up tyres, look for good road, deactivate ESP and learn how to use throttle.

@@dimademochkin3028 I am in UK and I have the W219 2009 CLS 63 AMG with the M156 6.2 v8, I have the same brochure and for the CLS 500 it states it is 5461cc which is a 5.5 v8 with 388 BHP. I know that the earlier 2000 - 2006 "500" Mercedes models all used the 5.0 v8 M113 engine as my mum has a 2003 W211 E500 with this engine and the newer 7 speed transmission, It is very smooth and quite fast for only 302 BHP, but it is not quite as fast as the CLS 500 in this video. The 0-60 mph time for my mum's E500 is shown as 6.0sec in the 2003 E class brochure but feels faster ! The newer revised face lift 2006 - 2009 W211 E500 has the newer 5.5 v8 (5461cc M273 engine) and in that car it is also 388 BHP like the later CLS 500 and the 0-60mph time is quoted at 5.2 sec which seems similar to this CLS 500 in this video which would be approx 5.4 sec. Of course the USA didn't get the "500" 5.5 v8 models they got the "550" with the 5.5 v8 - which is essentially the same car.... It is all to do with marketing purposes... A quick google for the 2004-2006 W219 CLS 500 5.0 states this car does 0-60 in 6.1 seconds but depending on the year and whether this engine is fitted to the older 5 speed or the newer 7 speed transmission the 0-60 time can be as low as 5.8 seconds ! All 5.0 M113's have 24 valves and twin cams and they all have 16 spark plugs - Yes !, 16 !! All 5.5 M273's have 32 valves and quad cams and they all have 8 spark plugs.

@@dimademochkin3028 This seems a bit too fast for the older m113 5.0 306 BHP 24 valve V8.... I reckon it is the newer M273 5.5 32 valve V8 which is approx 380 + BHP....
