The common timing is 4.5 secs. However, if you look at the E55 specs on the official AMG site it now mentions 4.7 secs... odd...

More imprtantly, a few months ago Motor Trend or C&D said hte E55 was the fastest from 30--50 of all cars. That is a time I am more likely to notice!!
Have fun, Chile.

BTW MB has always quoted 4.7 for 0--100KmPH -- I think,

0-60mph is almost irrelevant as a performance statistic. It is as much a function of traction as power. Far more telling is 0-100mph and 0-200kmh(124mph) stats.

Don't worry Benz are lying 
- the true 0-60mph time is 4.2 - 4.4 seconds.
Mercedes AG already got in trouble for understating their performance statistics before - they were fined by the TÚV in Germany because they said the Sl55 AMG made 479bhp and every one they sent for type approval was knocking out 500bhp+
lol
