192MPH (305) KPM In my CLS 55!
I did in Mexico, on the Matehuala straight, its a long straight, in good shape, in between Monterrey and San Luis, on the way to Mexico City form the Border. It took me 7 hours 15 mintues form the border crossing in Laredo to my house in Mexico City.

Oh I see, the IWC clock,

How do they get the IWC CLS 55 to redline like a 63?
RPM wise this looks like a 63. Where does the CLS 55 redline? Looks like the RPM gauge is at 5500 with two digits to go 6 and 7 then red

In the 63 this would make sense in 7th gear but the 55 would have to be close to red line in 5th gear at 198mph, gauge seems to have more room.

WOW , GREAT RUN,

Looks like the drag got you (Rolling resistance) no more torque, but yeah I was suprised , looks like there is ROOM

I stand corrected as well , this is definately the dash of the IWC CLS 55, what a great car

IF you did a true 305 kilometers/hour than the Miles per hour should read
189.5 - In any case it is some speed.....What tires are you running on???
