Mercedes all the way!
MB Singapore website - wrong?

i was just checking out the MB Singapore website at http://www.mercedes-benz.com.sg

out of curiosity i looked at the E55 AMG's specs. but the acceleration times, i believe, are very wrong. according to MB, their crown jewel AMG car goes 0-100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. that's just 0.8 seconds faster than the E350.

now i haven't driven the 55 AMG before but i don't think it could be that "slow" :p

That is terribly wrong. Try seconds off.

That should read 4.7 seconds, or less. Here is their web page that has it right.

I don't know how that is measured in Singapore, every time I get my car up to 100 Kmh, I pass a sign "Welcome to Malaysia."

Wow, even that's wrong according to the official specification, which is 4.5, but actually 4.2 in reality. I guess it really is all about marketing purposes.
