Like it...a lot. Although am not a fan of DRLs, no matter what car they are on.
Don't the gold calipers mark it out as having the (presumably) optional ceramic discs?
I have to wonder why anyone would want Carbon discs on a car like this? they don't improve stopping distances only reduce fade... realistically the only place your going to induce fade is at the track..who tracks a 1.8 ton CLS??Don't the gold calipers mark it out as having the (presumably) optional ceramic discs?

But then if I had the money, I'd probably do the same, so it isn't a criticism!

I think what you mean is repeated braking from high speeds - if you cruise on the Autobahn at 250 km/h, you will frequently have to scrub off 100 km/h. It only makes sense to do this of course in a car that can put that speed back on quickly (such as this one).

Sweeeeeeeeet! I'm lovin that frontal view, that would look like a sledgehammer comin up on ya at let's say 150 mph. There are several models from various manufacturers that I like and this is definetly one of them. AMG gents are spicen things up and I'm lookin forward to hearin what those 557 ponies sound like comin out of those quad pipes. This one will be on my short list of must test drives.SEE YA AT THE RACES!!!
