this is the 4.7 Twin Turbo V8 with 408hp and 600Nm of torque. They are monstrous to drive. 0-62mph in around 4.6 seconds
I would have thought the performance should be better than that? Mine is a heavier car with the aerodynamics of a brick and with a lowly 3.0 Twin Turbo V6 and can (allegedly) do 0-62 in 4.9 seconds from it's 367hp and 520Nm.

GLC43 - 4WD, 1880KG, 9G tronic 367BHP/520NM 0.31 CD
E500 - RWD - 1800KG, 7G tronic+ 402BHP/600NM 0.24 CD

Drag will have less of an impact at 0-62 sprints though.

Seems about right?

The 4WD will get the power down more efficiently remember

Nice cars, this one has been on sale for a long while now. Why would they not MOT it?

...except for the battleship grey interior! Could we fit a tow bar on it?
I did see a coupe dragging a tin snail on the motorway last week, no idea if the rag top is type approved though
