The four trim levels and engines include the CL550 (with 382-horsepower V8 engine), CL600 (510-hp V12), CL63 AMG (518-hp V8) and CL65 AMG (with 604 horsepower, V12 twin turbo engine). The latter can go from zero to 60 in a little over four seconds. A rearview camera and nighttime vision come as standard features. For 2011, the all-wheel-drive CL550 4MATIC and rear-wheel-drive CL600 have both undergone mild reshaping. The two-door version of the S-class sedan is pricey and luxurious as can be. Nonetheless, the 2011 CL-Class is very appealing for its captive market.
The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL is equipped with high-tech features designed to assist the boulevard-cruising driver. There’s the optional Active Lane-Keeping Assist that makes the steering wheel vibrate if the car tends to drift into another lane. It’s a smart car that’s alert to the car’s throttle and brake inputs.
In autumn 2006 Mercedes-Benz is launching the culmination of more than 50 years of coupé tradition with the new Mercedes-Benz CL-Class. The new two-door model combines peerless exclusivity and charismatic design with trailblazing technology which no other car brand is able to offer.
The luxury coupé enters new dimensions in vehicle safety with PRE-SAFE® Brake, a unique system which automatically brakes the Coupé when a rear-end collision threatens. Standard equipment also includes Mercedes innovations such as an active ABC suspension (Active Body Control), the Intelligent Light System with five lighting functions and the anticipatory occupant protection system PRE-SAFE®. There is a choice of two powerful engines with eight or twelve cylinders. These generate significantly more output and torque, while exhibiting an exemplary smoothness which lives up to the Mercedes heritage of superb motoring refinement.
