Car looks great...but the weight and tiny 275 rear tires really hurt the performance:

C/D TEST RESULTS:
Zero to 60 mph: 4.5 sec
Zero to 100 mph: 9.2 sec
Zero to 130 mph: 14.9 sec
Rolling start, 5–60 mph: 4.9 sec
Top gear, 30–50 mph: 2.4 sec
Top gear, 50–70 mph: 2.3 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 12.6 sec @ 120 mph
Top speed (governor limited): 189 mph
Braking, 70–0 mph: 169 ft
Roadholding, 300-ft-dia skidpad: 0.89 g

CL65
Any updates as to if the 2014 S65 coupe/CL65 will come with the 7 speed tranny since they are now offering it in the SL65?

I haven't heard anything. It seems like the CL platform isn't a priority in the MB line-up so I think we may not see the 7 speed in one with a v12 Biturbo...

Great car if you want exclusivity and have the cash to burn. However, the TT CL63 with PP is .5 sec faster to 60 and in the 1/4 mile.
