GLS550 0-60 in 5.2 Sec
GLS450 0-60 in 6.5 Sec
These numbers are from multiple sources. Never heard of eMercedesBenz before. Unless they did some mods, there's no way its possible.

0-60 times will be all over the map.
eMercedesBenz has been around and are a respected online source for MB.
Here is a C&D review that states the same 5.7 0-60 times for the GLS450.

C&D is the only source. I'm prettty sure they got it wrong. MB site says 0-60 in 6.5 but in real they are always a bit quicker, I would imagine somewhere btw 6 -6.5 sec. It can't be almost a second quicker. If it is then it would be the way ahead in competition compared to other SUV's with similar HP/GW

I agree. Some including car mags get stuck on 0-60.
That said, I have my doubts this was a mistake. I guess over time we will see as more and more results are released. I would not be surprised to see better 0-60 times for the 550 and 63 then we've seen thus far.
Test Sheet:

I noticed the acceleration from 5-60 is 6.3. I would think this would be better then what they show for 0-60 being 5.7

Low 6 seconds is probably a lot more believable.
Plenty of power. Wouldn't shock me if the engine was under rated by 40-50 HP. 550 has a much better exhaust note though.

I had a 2016 450 for a V6 it was pretty fast. I bought the 2017 GLS 550 and you can just feel the power plus when you start it up the exhaust sounds powerful. But I heard the 63 exhaust that thing must be a beast
