'Mercedes-Benz Debuts the CL65 AMG!'

[Merc1]

It was originally planned for Geneva, but DCX wanted to keep the focus on their bread-and-butter new C-Class. And so the AutoRAI in The Netherlands gets a real big crowd-puller and world premiere, on show starting March 29th in Amsterdam! Finally another / valid reason to head over to Amsterdam.

The CL65 AMG with 6.0L V12 (612hp, 1000nM torque) should hit the 100km/h mark within 4,5 seconds and will easily hit 300km/h if it wasn't for the, not confirmed but expected, speed limiter.

In order to keep this machine on the road, AMG has tinkered with the suspension, aerodynamics and has added plenty of tech-gadgets, like their take on the Active Body Control system, which is designed to keep the car straight during acceleration and braking.

This eliminates the CL65 as the New York Mystery AMG. More pics at AutoTelegraaf.

Fantastic news. Loved the "old" CL65 and I love this one even more.

I wonder why they dont upgrade this engine?

I think the current engine is too much already... And there's not very much competition, so no need for update.

There is no need for.

Very few production cars output 738 ft-Ib of torque.

Unless of course, Audi, BMW, Jaguar or even Lexus raises the bar. Then Mercedes will follow suit.

Ultimate machine no doubt, but i'll never understand (regardless of being explained already) the point of having both 63 and 65 versions.

Re: Mercedes-Benz Debuts the CL65 AMG!

Awesome ...it is totally ridiculous but a wonderful machine nonetheless.

Re: Mercedes-Benz Debuts the CL65 AMG!

Typical AMG styling & appearance, I love AMG rims ...!

Massive spec - I think they're operating on the premise of "too much ain't enough". I like the appearance mods - pretty clean look.
