The CL 500 generates 285 kW with a peak torque rating of 530 Nm. The V8 model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and emits a refreshingly restrained sound at moderate speeds.

Compared with the predecessor model, the maximum torque rating has increased by 70 Nm and the engine output by 60 kW. At the same time, exhaust emissions have been reduced. The secret ingredient is an optimised air supply: our engineers have employed sensors to significantly improve air flow into the intake and outlet channels.

The CL 500 4MATIC is now also available as an all-wheel drive version with the same performance. It is joined by an even sportier version with a V8 engine: the CL 63 AMG. Its AMG 6.3 litre V8 engine delivers 386 kW plus a 630 Nm maximum torque rating. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a breathtaking 4.6 seconds.


(CL 500: fuel consumption combined: 12.3 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 288 g/km; CL 500 4MATIC: fuel consumption combined: 12.3 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 289 g/km; CL 63 AMG: fuel consumption combined: 14.5 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 346 g/km)[1]

Cutting-edge engine technology empowers the CL 600 to rapidly develop its strength. Our top-of-range power unit, the V12 biturbo, is more athletic than ever before. The power output has been increased from 368 kW to 380 kW and the torque rating from 800 Nm to 830 Nm. It also displays outstanding response characteristics: the V12 biturbo develops its maximum torque rating from 1900 revolutions per minute and maintains it up to 3500 revolutions per minute. The CL 600 has two turbochargers and intercooling to thank for such excellent values.

To save weight, the cylinder heads are made from die-cast magnesium. 3-valve technology improves airflow and, thanks to dual ignition, further optimises combustion.

It is hard to believe, but the massive power of the CL 600 has been further increased - the CL 65 AMG is here. The sporty top-of-the-line model awaits you with a 6.0-litre V12 AMG biturbo powerplant which produces 450 kW and a maximum torque of 1,000 Nm.
