| Unbelievable!!!!!! |
| waz786 2-10-2003 |
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! |
| BMW vs Mercedes??? Isn?t Reasonable!!! |
| Gassan 21-8-2003 |
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. |

| Its a hell of a strong car |
| W12 Coupe Heart 11-6-2003 |
I am a 29 year old person that I live in Egypt and there are all nice and a little bad cars. I have ordered one 5 months ago and as you know Mercedes takes 5 months to deliver the car. I have it now and it is incredible. I mean it is incredible. I ordered it without the electronic limiter because since it is being put together in Germany it counts as a German car. But the C and the E class is being put together here in Egypt by ordering the parts since the tax is so high here. Any way it's V12 engine without the electronic cut off produces 621 bhp and 1250 Nm of torque at 2000rpm. It's acceleration from 0-100 km is in 4.2 seconds instead of 4.5 since it is without the electronic limiter. It has a max speed of 250 km limited but without the electronicly limited cut off it is faster than the SLR wich is 340 but I haven't reached it. I just reached 210km and that is in the highway from Cairo (where I live) to Alexandria. The cops never chased me which is I don't know why. It is expensive all over the world. But guess what, I bought this for 11,700,000 Egyption pounds. Please if any one has the money to afford it you have to buy it. I mean like you guys think a little bit. 612 bhp this is more that the Lamborghini Murcielago. It has the body of a world class grand tourer with the heart of a sports car. I don't care if you guys don't believe me but the important thing is that i have it. You guys say that getting high bhp by butting turbos is cheating or a cheap way of getting lots of engine power. But who cares the important thing is that the car has incredible performance. Just buy that car and pump out the music as loud as you can to pull attention. Even if you order it WITH the electronic limiter it doesn't matter it is 250 km which is really high and where the hell are you going to reach that speed unless it is a highway or something. Oh by the way take it in black like me. It sparkles at night from all of the street lights and in the morning it shines from the sun and gives it a kind of a sporty, sleek and sexy look. |
| Normal aspiration - What for? |
| greasywog87 3-6-2003 |
Many people in this CL 65 forum who are obvious BMW supporters are using the lame excuse of normally aspirated engines. Come on guys, accept defeat because simply dismissing a truly excellent car based on whether it is naturally aspirated or not is ridiculous and stupid. Face it - Mercedes-AMG is kicking BMW's ass and there isn't anything you can do about it. |
| i realy very agree with this car... |
| the_diablo 18-5-2003 |
1st of all i wanna answer the guy who disagreezz this car ,,,when u read the statement ull notice that there asking your comments of this car there not askin u about mercedes benz in general ,,,watever ,,,and to answer u about the 6 years and stuff u said that the new e class beat the 6 years 5 series and now comes the new 5 series for me it sux ,,,its realy nasty the bake lights are like the pegeut bake lights ,,,watever ,,,u did see the new 7 series it did beat the 4 years s class in the other hand ...lets not bring the maybach into consideration because as every body knows it beats all of them ,,,but we r waitin for the new s class cuz i know its gana be fantastic... mercedes benz rules |
| pretty good... |
| Bug Diddy 18-5-2003 |
"yes, this car is an extreme beast, just asking to have all the electonics shut off and set the road aflame, but having a TT setup, and getting ""only"" 102 hp/liter. I mean, the S2000 gets 120 hp/liter without any Forced Induction. Anyway, I think its a great car. Nice combination of luxury and power..." |
| my new favourite |
| SpeeDemon 16-5-2003 |
Yet another amazing addition to the CL-class, just looking at this car makes me drool!!! All that new horsepower must make this car haul some serious ass, I'm gonna start saving for this! I think BMW is just as good as MB, neither of them is better or worse, they're both the kings of quality and reliability in the carworld. In my opninion they're the two best brands, I love them both and couldnt say one was better than the other. Mercedes is a nice luxury car with a sleek and smooth appearance, and Bimmer has awesome intimidating sporty looks on their cars. But this mercedes really caught my eye, gotta love it. |
| The Usual |
| EMT 2-5-2003 |
Yip its the usual BM vs MB debate, and the usual BM die hards complaining about forcefed aspiration, how ignorant are you? Firstly, let me say that I love the M3s inline 6, it is one of the best motors ever produced, and I'm sure the new M5 400kw V10 will be as well. But to all of you who know absolutely nothing about this particular AMG V12, and to add to what was said prior, this engine also pioneers dual-spark ignition with rotator balance shafts to make it the smoothest, most powerful and,believe it or not, lightest V12 ever produced. But there really is no point in debating this, as any car the rolls out of the BM or MB factory will be the most advanced in its class. So wow what a potent monster, I look forward to the possible SL and new M5. The Benzmark moves up yet another notch. |
| 786984.......umm im gonna have to disagree with you on that |
| supernatey13 2-4-2003 |
you say that bmw cant compete with mb...hmmmmm o yeah maybe that is why bmw is the winner of every single comparo they have been in against mb....the only one i recolect them not winning was the brand new for 2003 e class, that beat the 6 year old 5 series...congragulations it only took mercedes a new car to beat a 6 year star...wow and bmw cant hang with mercedes.......funny. |
| "all together now ""..and they called it...MercBennnzzz""." |
| Lucky 1-4-2003 |
ok, thats taking it a bit far. But i found out some great news. If only to break up the argument, i mean debate between you lot, over the cleverness of this cars engine. Although unconfirmed (which just means unnofical in my eyes), this engine is likely to break cover in the SL next summer, i.e. 2004. which means a showing around some time towards the beginning of next year. Maybe even, a late december announcement. This isnt from a magazine publication - i found this out today, from the horses mouth, a M-Benz customer sevices line. But i must stress that they did say that it was unconfirmed as yet. Im therefore v. happy. firstly, it provides even greater argument to get this than either a 911 turbo or 360 spider due to the performance gain (if your definiton of performance is raw, straight line speed) Furthermore, its the best looknimg car on our roads today and it also has that roof! Finally, it clears up the frustrating decision of which is worth getting - an SL600 or SL55. The answer is now, neither. Wait, or trade up (id never thought id hear myself saying this) from either of these to an SL65. Good times ahead. Oh, and the CL65 is quite nice too!. |
| This Car Is The Greatest |
| 786984 25-3-2003 |
This car is great and BMW CANNOT COMPETE WITH BENZ!! Mercedes now has the maybach and it has the new S600 with the increase in horsepower and The new Vision SLR is yet to come. What does BMW have, I am not against BMW I think it is a great car but it cant compete with any mercedes Cars. And for Carmaniac you cant say mercedes sucks beacuse you know its a good car. And stop talking garbage about the Benz, by doing that you are showing that you know its a good car and you are jealous that Bimmer cant make such great cars Like Benz!!! |
| Here we go again. |
| carmaniac 22-3-2003 |
I said that this car is not very good because of its engine. I don't know about interior. Yes they don't have enough power, and I stand by it. Personally i don't have anything against Merc. You, on the other hand defende it like I insolted you mother or someone. If you give comments on a car don't take it so personal. Back to the car again. 2 turbos. Put those 2 turbos into new 6 series. It's gonna blast this car in what ever competition. Sorry, a BIG NOTHING |
| Mixed Blessing |
| Nvme 22-3-2003 |
"I agree with those who think that using turbos is a very cheap way of getting high HP. It affects, among other things, the smoothness at which the engine operates, the linearity of the power delivery, and shortens the engine's lifespan. For very solid proof of my point, drive the 760Li, compare it and see which you would choose to drive on a day-to-day basis - And I am mostly talking about the engine - . In 99% of cases, you wouldn't know it ""only"" has about 60% of the torque the CL has. Anyway, this is a great car overall, eventhough I still prefer normally aspirated engines, the BMW way" |
| carmaniac .... ??? |
| merc-blitz 22-3-2003 |
I think you never drove any AMG-versions. They really burn rubber... I really love the way they tune their cars. And the beamer you told has that max. hp at high rmp. And the torq is less lower than this MB. And if you like to know which AMG i drove... -ML55AMG -SLK32AMG -CL55AMG sooo I know how amg is !! |
| Reliability? |
| Ross 20-3-2003 |
Mercedes with 600+ hp will last twice as long with half as many problems as the nearest competition over the life of the vehicle, in Mercedes case that is 20-30 years. If you don't believe me, go and ride in the top GT cars that are 10-15 years old and see which one you would own. |
| for carmaniac!! |
| simon m 18-3-2003 |
maybe it's A BIG NOTHING for you,carmaniac but let's talk about the change that AMG have done in this car: the twin turbo is one of many measures responsible for the enhanced performance and torque available: The cylinder bore in the die cast aluminium crankcase has been increased from 82.0 to 82.6 millimetres. The precision-balanced crankshaft is made from higher-strength material and its stroke has been extended from 87 to 93 millimetres. The forged pistons, which are made from a special material which is extremely resistant to temperature and pressure, have an upgraded oil-spray cooling system with a separate individual nozzle per piston. The size of the piston pins has been increased. The main and connecting rod bearings are made from higher-specification material for enhanced handling of thermal and pressure peaks. The combustion chambers in the cylinder heads have been optimised. The camshafts have increased stroke on the intake side and longer opening times. The modified oil pump and the larger oil cooler ensure that all lubrication points are supplied with oil -- even under the most extreme conditions. The housings of the compressor and turbine in both turbochargers have been enlarged, as have the turbine and compressor wheels. The maximum charge pressure has been increased to 1.5 bar. Larger injection valve openings permit increased fuel throughput. I think ALL and i repeat ALL this think help the CL 55 AMG to be on of the fastest car and I am sure that BMW even if she put twin turbo on there 7series engine (v12)cannot produce a 612 hp without the change like AMG engineering have done !!! |

this three capitals leters means a lot when you see them in a mercedes benz...those leters means that this cars are provided of great performance, exclusivity and perfection of course..they just make this cars perfect!! |
| Can't wait to drive it |
| Tjibbe 7-3-2003 |
That's just the car that puts mercedes back on top. This incredible Autobahn-ruler makes driving at 300 km/h very easy. I've driven the 500 bhp CL600 to its 250 km/h limit. and it's amazing what active body control can do. Thanks to its power and its enormous brakes, driving that fast is safe. Now what to do with those other traffic-contenders who won`t see you coming at 300+ km/h. And i know so because the E55 AMG Kompressor, that i drove too, has no Active Body Control. And that felt more insecure at 260 km/h. |
| Twin Turbos for a V12 |
| capone 7-3-2003 |
Don't get me wrong, I like most Mercs and this one will probably be no exception but what the hell is AMG trying to prove by putting twin turbos in a 6.0L V12. That is just a cheap way of getting horsepower. Come on boys, get rid of those turbos and go with a normally aspirated V12. Don't follow the route that Bugatti did with that stupid 1000BHP V16 x 4 Turbos. What next, V24 with 8 turbos ? Give me a break. |
| carmaniac your knowledge is superfluous |
| ralliart77 6-3-2003 |
first off...the torque on this car is enormous. Heavy low end torque means that you are delivering a lot of power to the driveshaft without actually smoking the tires. With less revs on the engine...which is mated to a 5(6?) speed automatic transmission,that has gear-ratios that are not as closely spaced as in a 911 turbo neither as distanced as in a GT car, you have arguably the safest car on a wet surface or snow. This car will absolutely never lose traction, and will also promise to deliver when needed. Of course, AMG would have offered closer gear ratios which would definately propel this rocketship to a 60 in under 4. But their reason was simple. Give the people an everyday road going car with impeccable road manners and also with the satisfaction that you have a monster in ur control...waiting to be unleashed. That out of the way, let us move onto the twin turbos. Brilliantly executed...sufficient BAR of pressured air pumped into each of the banks of cylinders, which does not load the turbos and at the same time does not overload the engine. These turbos would probably be small in size, thereby not flooding the enormously big engine with pressured air. Can u imagine the heat generated by each combustion cycle???It would melt the insides, if a single large turbo was used. This setup ensures the longitivity of the engine, more than anything else, and along with a better fuel economy, dynamically changing variable valve timing, ensures a very pleasing driving experience. Of course, people like me would argue that the heavy usage of electronics and an omission of a stick would take away all the fun of driving this monster..but then again this car is not meant for us! |
| You're serious??? |
| lilteyang 6-3-2003 |
You actually think pushing 102hp/liter is no big deal??? consider the fact that in order to squeeze out hp in a small displacement, the engine has to rev higher.... Honda squeezed 120hp out of a liter... so??? that car is horrible to drive on the freeway cause you can never relax the throttle..... THE CL IS A GT, NOT A SPORTS CAR!!! it needs to drive fast without breathing hard..... yeah, M3 and S2000 may have a better hp/displacement ratio, but they have ABSOLUTELY no low-end torque... imagine driving a two-ton-plus car with no low-ends..... you'll drive yourself crazy.... |
| a king never looses is throne |
| car-crazy 4-3-2003 |
now this is definately the agressive part of the of the big boy, a cl 65 AMG, what could possible stop this baby from smoking someones ass with its 612 bhp & clocking out 0-60 in 4.4 sec,this show you that mercedes benz can compete in every category from luxury to super cars either both ways they will still be on top. this big 600 benz will make the new bmw 6 stay in a lonely corner and show who is really the big man in town |
| I am NOT IMPRESSED, AT ALL!!!! |
| carmaniac 4-3-2003 |
They have a 6 litter engine, 2 turbos. Why the hell would you need torbos to push 102 hp/l. Bmw did it with straight 6 cylinder, 3,2 litter. bmw pushed 107 hp/l. No compressor, no turbo. You can take aan old merc 600 sedan and put turbos and get even more than this 65 amg. By adding one turbo you can increase the power up to 100 % what did merc/ amg do. A BIG NOTHING. |
| do you think they have done it this time |
| motorhead 3-3-2003 |
I do not think so but many people who i talk to about AMG models say that mercedes benz is going crazy with the horsepower generation. Their cars are getting veru hestarically powerful but if you think twice which most of you all do not most of their cars are about two bloody tons so the horsepower does not really make an impact. If they are plannig to take on ferrari(which they are most likely not) they better make their cars lighter and more fun to drive instead of being very very refined like having most of the power at just 2000rpm, crazy. i think this will scare the wits out of bmw when they launch their six series, this is a damn good car with a bloody huge price tag but it is very well worth the money deffinately!!! |
| The Legend Lives On!!! |
| dm2hot4u 3-3-2003 |
Wow!!! Now that's what you call an AMG!!! Mind-blowing looks, mind-blowing peformance and mind-blowing technology. Why couldn't they just call it Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG Mind-Blowing Edition??? |
| WoW!!!! |
| kubazzz 2-3-2003 |
That's what I was waiting for!!! Great car, almost perfect(if only it was the SL 65:)). Maybe it's not the same as ferrari or porsche or maseratti because it's a class for itself-Mercedes-Benz Cl class. Price will be as big as the torque:), I think about 220.000Euro in Germany. |
