900+ whp hmmm..
I've seen 900 + whp cars in action before, this 218 is awsumm & sounds phenominal but.. 900+ whp? Kinda doubtful (it would take full turbo upgrade package etc which nets 700+ whp + a 150-200 shot of nitrous to get there) Also in several rolling shots at 25-50+ mph when he obviously nails throttle the tires should break loose everywhere, but they don't
Still a great looking/sounding rig

Yeah guys.. I'm betting this car doesn't even have 900 @ the Crank, it doesn't look any different in acceleration vs tune only cls63tt's.. Barring sound, prolly has down pipes, no cats no muffs & ecu/tcu.. Still very sick ride don't get me wrong just funny listing it has that much power, as the video was obviously done by a friend of driver/owner he knows it's not 900 anything..

It sounds incredible though I wanna see 1000whp CLS/E 4matic monsters. I'm pretty sure somebody will get that much power and with the new 4matic system I can't imagine how fast it would be. Can't wait for mid 9s 4 door daily driven sedans

I know that route all too well having grown up in SOCAL in the 40's-50's era. Last time was my annual 5 AM XMAS run in my 12 cylinder in 1999. Nothing close to the bi-turbo hp (the C4 is about 350 fwhp), but the sound of a V12 with 6 Weber carburetors at full song in the Malibu tunnel has no rival and will not pass this way ever again.

Power band wise - depending on what you plan on doing with the car, and proper turbo selection, you can have a great power band (not just peak numbers).

It's definitely not 900whp let alone 900+whp. It's definitely a beast and sounds like a storm and goes like hell. I think 900whp in a rear wheel drive car would be fun for sure but not really that useful unless you have DR on a properly prepped track. If it was a 4matic though it would be really interesting to see what it can do.

Hell Hath No Fury like a 900-Horsepower CLS63 AMG Scorned
MBWorld forum members are calling this Benz's bluff. Drake at DLMphotos, the person who posted this video to YouTube, claims this Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is blowing 900 horsepower out its *** end. The guys on the forum believe the so-called "900 horsepower" is "Internet horsepower". Do the Internet Math, and that converts to 650 real-world horsepower ... maybe 700 if the barometric pressure is right, and the driver has a bean-and-cheese burrito fermenting in the large intestine.
