The TomTom did it.
My best friend's boyfriend works for mercedes benz, as a mechanical engineer and developer for transmission systems for the new models. He came to visit us yesterday in his work prototype, the new CL600 v12. He works on the 113th new CL, and the car was loaded with every single option available, as it was a benchmarking model. He also told me the car is not available for sale as it has a lot of parts apparently not intended for the market yet. So he invites me for a ride, and demonstrates the acceleration, 0-240 foot down, I believe while accelerating he said sth like the car's got 512bhp, and he told me how the esp kicks back in at 120(i think) even if it is turned off. He turned the esp completely off using a code which i cant reveal and did some major rubber burning on the B roads nearby. Sadly, winter tyres in the car made it unsafe to drive faster than 240, but it was mighty fun. It was kinad dark and my cellphone doesnt take good pics in the dark, so I took only one, but he told me that it wont be the first time he is gonna bring the car to campus.
He also told me, such prototype models cost on 5 euros or so(!) to rent if u are qualified enough and want to do some experiments on it. I wasnt listening carefully and he was explaining that bit in german pretty fast so I didnt get it completely and i may be incorrect that part.
