In detail, New Mercedes-Benz CL-Class (Thread 6 Cont'd)

[bmer]

I just realised how different the design of the back is compared to the traditional MB design. When I cover the MB badge in this picture with my finger, it doesn't look like a Merc. If somebody gave me this picture (with the badge removed) 3 years ago, I'm 100 percent sure I wouldn't have recognized it's a Mercedes-Benz. Despite of that I really like the exterior design of the CL.

Those side profile pics with the dark wheels are very nice...

id agree that i wouldnt recognize the car a few years ago either without the badge from the rear. But the side gives it away for sure.

its like that for most new cars..no body could have guessed that the 6er or 7er where bimmers some years ago..
that just shows that the companys are ready to renew them selfs and take it to the next level

Well you knew it was coming sooner or later, the Saks Fifth Avenue version of the new CL, the CL600 that is:

I do like the interior though!

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE


WISH UPON A THREE-POINTED STAR THIS HOLIDAY! MERCEDES-BENZ TO DEBUT EXCLUSIVE SIGNATURE EDITION OF ALL-NEW 2007 CL-CLASS FLAGSHIP COUPE IN SAKS FIFTH AVENUE HOLIDAY CATALOG

* First official photos of ultra-luxury 12-cylinder CL600 Coupe

* Pioneering technology meets bespoke luxury in limited edition of the world’s most desirable and highly anticipated super coupe

Montvale, NJ – Mercedes-Benz USA and Saks Fifth Avenue come together to offer the Signature Edition of the all-new flagship 2007 CL-Class coupe. Just 20 Signature Edition CL600 luxury coupes will be offered exclusively through Saks Fifth Avenue’s annual “The Gift” holiday catalog which mails to customers mid-October 2006. Last year’s 2005 “The Gift” catalog featured 20 examples of a specially equipped S600 flagship sedan – priced at $145,775 – which sold out in a staggering seven minutes.

Widely recognized as the world’s benchmark luxury coupe, the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class can trace its history back to the grand 300 S coupe in 1952. Today it continues to define the pinnacle of automotive innovation and design. The all-new 2007 CL-Class pairs its commanding presence on the road with revolutionary technology including Night View infra-red driving assistance, parking guidance system, PRE-SAFE brakes, Distronic PLUS and COMAND Plus, the intuitively centralized entertainment interface.

The eagerly awaited new CL-Class will make its official US debut at the Miami Auto Show this October and is expected to arrive in US showrooms in early 2006. The Signature Edition CL600, built exclusively for Saks Fifth Avenue, offers elegance in abundance, with an exclusive color palette that suits the season – the exterior is Mystic White, paired with Porcelain Nappa leather interior and Piano Lacquer Black wood-trim. It also features 5-spoke 18” wheels and high-performance tires. Under the hood is a twin-turbo V12 that boasts a whopping 510 horsepower and 612 lb.-ft. of torque, propelling the grand coupe from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. Pricing for this special-edition super coupe has yet to be announced.

Mercedes-Benz CL-Class - Parking assistance

Stuttgart, Aug 28, 2006
A newly developed parking guidance system is making its series production debut in the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class this autumn. The system uses radar technology to help the driver find a suitable parking space and park the vehicle.
When driving past at a speed of up to around 40 km/h, side-mounted radar sensors in the front and rear bumpers of the new luxury coupé measure whether the parking spaces on the driver and front passenger sides are sufficiently large for the vehicle. Once the system has found a suitable parking space on the front passenger side, a blue "P" symbol appears in the instrument cluster if the vehicle speed is below 16 km/h. Parking spaces on the driver’s side are shown if the indicator on that side is operated.

Once the driver has stopped the coupé in the position shown on the display and engaged reverse gear, the display shows a symbolic, bird’s-eye-view representation of the parking situation. Coloured guide lines show the driver how best to park: a red line indicates the current steering angle, while a yellow line shows the steering angle required for parking. The driver now turns the steering wheel until the two lines coincide, and can then begin to reverse slowly. As soon as the ideal and actual steering angles coincide, the guide lines on the display change to green. When reversing, an acoustic signal informs the driver when it is time to countersteer.

During the parking manoeuvre, the guidance system continuously monitors the steering angle and vehicle position. If the driver stops before reaching the recommended position, for example, the system automatically recalculates the ideal steering angle for smooth parking.

The new radar-based parking guidance system, which will be optionally available for the CL-Class from the end of 2006, works in tandem with the Parking Assist feature familiar from the S-Class. This system uses radar to measure the distance to obstacles in front of and behind the car, informing the driver by means of the display and an intermittent acoustic warning.
