“Within 60 seconds of being on the dyno at full power, the CL65's turbos and exhaust are red hot. AMG bench-tests all its engines”
I guess there’s no need for any break-in period on an AMG.

Is that an AMG special order option?
Do you think it's powder coated?
Maybe I'll do that with my old E55 wheels.

It is paint/powdercoat for sure.

CL500
is it really wise to get the car up to 186mph right out of the factory like that? even though the factory bench tests the engines beforehand, they cant be completely broken in. i guess though if its not your car and its "only" a press car, i would do the same.
