At the top of the Mercedes-Benz range rests the CL65 AMG coupe. The ultimate tool for hedonists, the CL65 virtually mirrors the similarly AMG-tuned S65 sedan with the exception of one feature: rear seat practicality. While the CL65's rear seat is cosseting and luxurious compared to most cars, there's no question that buyers of this large coupe are looking for a personal luxury tool, not a family car.
The CL65 features an earth-shattering 738 pound-feet of torque from its turbocharged 6.0 liter V12 engine, and an equally impressive 604 horsepower. Hooked up to one of the strongest 5-speed automatic transmissions ever built, this power train hurdles the CL65 faster than its 4,500 pound curb weight would suggest.
Upgrading the already opulent CL600 was no doubt a difficult task for AMG, but the CL65 somehow manages to squeeze in even more luxury and sport. While the CL600's mood is more about luxury than sport, the CL65 features an aggressive suspension and subtle sporting cues. Of course, there's still lots of shiny wood and premium leather hide inside. Although the CL600 stops with authority, the CL65's high performance brake system takes this power to a new level.
As with all AMG models, the CL65 has AMG-styled front and rear fascias, plus larger wheels -- 20-inch alloys in this case.
Standard features include ventilated seats, Night View Assist, adaptive cruise control, 14-way seat adjustment, nine airbags, an active and driver-adjustable suspension and Mercedes' latest COMAND audio and navigation system.
