0-60: 3.8s
1/4m: 12.1 @ 120.8mph

Notice the as tested price... $131K+ ..nearly $40K in options (I didn't realize that MB went "Porsche" )...ouch! But I do like how the carbon ceramic brakes look... and the car performs well.

Thanks Tom, always appreciate your first look MT posts!!!

As for the options- it seems that the mags often get the most expensive cars. I think the CLS one of the mags tested was stickering over 130k

Great numbers for the E--- will run well with the M5.

Not really--love the M156 as well since it's probably the last NA engine from AMG I will get to own. Moreover M156 is the only engine ever engineered from the ground up by AMG. M157 is great, but it's actually a modified TT'ed version of the same 5.5 engine previously installed in E550, S550, etc.

My next AMG will definitely be an induced one--since there is no other choice.

By the way, how come the same engine in S63 with P30 produced much more power and torque?

My thoughts are:

Either its marketing BS not much unlike the 55K engines where the E Class supposedly had 469hp and the S, SL, CL all had over 500 but when the dyno hit it was all the same.

Or they tweaked the boost slightly higher on S class PP cars... The M157 obviously has a lot more in it as the more recent tunes have proven so. Case in point (regarding the M156) the C63 std cars versus the N/A E63 where the C63 was detuned and E63 came in full at 518 hp.

Thought of that one--but I know I would never get an SLK due to practical reason. The SLK engine is actually the AMG modified but non induced version of M157--thus based on the same 5.5 engine.
