The Ford Triton 5.4 4-valve supercharged of engines!

350/4 = 350+87.5 = 437.5 kW = 587 horsepower (!!!)

I don't agree with that number, though. I selected 4 gears because the 5th one is overdrive. However, the whole powertrain is a tank. It sometimes feels more like a 10-speed than a 5-speed. I would say the 5.5K engine in the E55, CLS55, and prototype SL55 make as much as 515 horsepower catted and 530 horsepower decatted.

The production SL55 (including the early version), along with the CL55 and S55 are more powerful because of the exhaust intake with as much as 550 horsepower catted and 565 horsepower decatted.

I like this car but i highly doubt it would reach 60mph in 3.5sec anyway more people comented the cls 55 than the cls 63.

Anonymous 17y ago

Only moderators can change pictures and specification data (this is because Internet is full of brainless hooligans who love to mess things up for no reason what so ever). But if you want the picture to be changed you can paste link to your suggested picture or send it as an attachment to my e-mail (info@fastestlaps.com) and I will change it asap.
