Description

When Germany's baby-boomer generation was young, the legendary C111 was the vision of the automotive future. This spacey car, in the bright orange so popular in the 1970s, was a testing ground for Wankel and diesel engines, and turbochargers. Mercedes achieved the downforce needed to hug the road at high speed without any spoilers -- solely through its wedge-shaped aerodynamic design.

The Mercedes CLE 53 arrives in time for summer with a turbocharger and electric motor making 443 horsepower. There is even an over boost feature pushing the engine as hard as it can for 10 seconds to give you the pass in your races with others. Thoughts?
