CLS500 2012
ok , here is a big question in my head ... is the engine on CLS500s different from one another ?
i own a CLS500 2012 and a porsche panamera 4s 2011 model, theres also a friend of mine who owns a CLS500 2012 modle as well. so once, as i only driven one car at a time thought lets see which is faster , the CLS500 or the p.p 4s ? asked the friend to come along with his CLS500 to find out, the result was hideous.... CLS500 beat the p.p 4s way easier than i thought, it just launched and disappeared .... so out of curiosity i asked the same friend to race with the CLS500s , same shape, same model, same weight, same year, even same colour lol again another unbelievable scene in front of my eyes, his CLS500 spins like no other.... what is with it ? the engine is not touched, charged or anything , we bought both CLS500s same day same place same price, but his ones flies:confused::confused::confused: ... a lil help? why that CLS500 is way faster than a p.p4s or even another CLS500 ????? ohhh I'm just quoting what he told me once, " i raced a p.p turbo, my bonnet was on the from mirror of the p.p turbo ... " does that even make sense ???? p.p turbo with 500 HP ...

Lets see what other ideas come up on this.

Perhaps all owners of the same models should meet up and try it out to see if there is a difference ;)

I would get them both on a rolling road and see if yours is down on power, you need his as well as a reference so you truly know what you should be seeing at the wheels.

Problem is, yours could be spot on, his might just be a really good one that is well over spec.


If his is showing the correct sort of figures (usually loose around 10-15% at the wheels over manufacturers claimed bhp) and yours is down, you have something to go at Mercedes with, maybe a software update might sort it.

Obviously "minus" the story of racing each car .... ahem ;)

Had a look on our equipment and under the protocols there are three types I can find.

CLS500 M113E50 5.0 litre V8 306 BHP

CLS500 M273E55 5.5 litre V8 388 BHP

CLS500 M278DE46ALR 4.6 litre V8 twin Turbo 408 BHP

This is what our equipment has for protocols of communication to those models of CLS.

Strange one? Why so many of the same models with not only different engines but also management?!?!?

Surely the 5000 is the 113 engine and the 5500 the 273, the first one will be the blue engine
