Click here to download printer friendly version The new CL 65 AMG continues the twelve-cylinder tradition of Mercedes-AMG with an up-to-date V12 power unit which exhibits stunning performance characteristics. Thanks to twin Turbocharging this engine develops 612 bhp and makes a remarkable 1000 Newton metres of torque available from 2000 rpm. This makes the CL 65 AMG the most powerful AMG model to date.

The new AMG engine is based on the 12-cylinder unit of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. In addition to an increase in displacement from 5513 to 5980 cubic centimetres, numerous other modifications are responsible for the output and torque increase in the new CL 65 AMG. For example the AMG engineers have increased the charge pressure of the Turbochargers to a maximum of 1.5 bar. In addition they have used forged pistons, main and big-end bearings made from extremely high temperature and pressure-resistant materials and enlarged the apertures in the injection nozzles to achieve a higher fuel flow. Power is transferred by a five-speed automatic transmission with the Speedshift function and steering-wheel gearshift. The exceptional torque of the V12 is always safely under control, thanks to modifications to various transmission components, the rear axle differential, the drive shafts and the wheel carriers.

Like all models in the CL-Class the new CL 65 AMG is fitted as standard with the Active Body Control (ABC) suspension system, whose spring struts have been configured for greater stiffness in the high-performance Coupe.

 what can i say to start? this is the most definitive AMG to date. Awesome is the only word to describe it. the v12 bi-turbo aspiration is the best used to contend with the likes of the upocoming M6 which i think will have to so a lot to contend with this German steroid machine. personally i think mercedes-AMG have delivered the most accurate and sleek sports coupe t there is on the road. im sure its a dream to drive after being in the new 467bhp E55 AMG myself. Definately a contender for the 2004 Car of the Year!

 Come on dude, what are you talking about? how you dare to compare CL55 with any BMW? You?re out of your mind. BMW probably won some mercedesbenz tests, but in Anti-Merecedes magazines. it?s obvious that mercedes is the power, the most of times mb has the most powerful engines, and when they dont they still having better times than BMW. And when they dont is because somebody introduced his dirty hands on the results... Mb is history, bmw is nothing against mercedes! BMW is never going to have the same torque than mercedes. and you cant come tho this car section to talk bad against MB because BMW hasnt even compete with this car. At least in the real life, because as i can see. You have a lonely incredible crazy and inreasonable mind. I have a Brabus version of the cl55 and I?m just crazy to have this model, but I live in Venezuela, and they are going to bring just 2 of this cars for this years and they are already purchased, so I?ve to wait. This car is ultraluxurious and incredible powerful. I feel the fury when I push the throttle to the end.. It pushes you as a spacial rocket. And the womens die for get in my car. I never had many womens in my bed in 10years as i did i just 3 months. the time I have with this car. And before this car, i had a bmw 525i. Girls dont pay much attention to that car. This car is the rage enginereed.
