When you fire up the 5.0-liter V8, you can barely tell that it's purring. The mighty but quiet mill puts out 302 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 339 foot-pounds of torque between 2,700 and 4,250 rpm. Impressive lower-rpm response is due to a magnesium two-stage resonance intake manifold that increases runner length, and Mercedes puts the zero-to-60 time at 6.1 seconds.

Coupled to the V8 is a driver-adaptive, electronic five-speed automatic transmission. It provides seamless shifts. Standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and the Automatic Slip Control (ASR). ESP studies how you steer and brake and compares it to the vehicle's response, then brakes the wheels or cuts down the engine power to eliminate under- or oversteer. ASR can spot drive-wheel slip and will brake the guilty wheel(s) or tame the engine power until you're in control again.

The other perks dual heated power mirrors with memory, cruise control, power windows with one-touch express up/down, Bose stereo system, color-matched removable hardtop and carrier, tinted glass, and a four-way power-steering column with memory. Headlight wipers, a BabySmart child seat-recognition system, seatbelts with emergency tension retractors, and Xenon high-intensity discharge lights. Featuring Sport Package, Premium 19" Wheels, Bose Premium Sound System, Clean and pampered car, priced to sell.
