Pretty good for the a45.. However, that CLS should be much quicker.

Most magazines have the CLS63 in between 11.9 and 12.4 and speed of at least 119mph.
Unless the shooting brake is substantially heavier than a standard CLS, something is not right and the driver needs a lesson...

Regardless of the CLS ... It is important to remember, than the CLA45 AMG has much better aero than the A45 AMG as well so at higher speeds it should be even faster.

That flightline/ runway tarmac is crap. That CLS with a set of street drag radials would cut .5 sec of the run. The CLA 45 AMG would definitely lead up to the 330 feet or maybe up to the 1.8 mile or even the 1000feet(I am talking dragstrip figures here).

That CLA can probably pull a clean 1.7 sec 60 with the launch control while the CLS would pull a 1.9 2.0 sec 60 foot on an average driver
