Official: Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Special Grey Stone Edition

German tuner Anderson Germany has just completed work on its latest transformation on the mighty Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG. As with most tunes by Anderson Germany, the Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Special Grey Stone Edition by Anderson Germany incorporates a selection of visual and performance modifications. The interior incorporates a tailor-made two tone leather cabin featuring diamond-pattern stitched black and white leather on the seats, door trim, steering wheel and dashboard. Additionally, Anderson Germany fitted a selection of new carbon fiber inserts such as those on the door trims as well as the centre console. Moving to the performance realm, the Special Grey Stone Edition by Anderson Germany includes a controllable exhaust system with sports catalytic converters, a tuned ECU, free-flow air filters and larger pulleys. All of these engine changes culminate in an insane 670hp, a 49hp increase from stock, as well as 780lb-ft of torque! Consequently, the Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Special Grey Stone Edition by Anderson Germany should be capable of hitting 62mph in around 4 seconds and a top speed nearing or surpassing 190mph!

Like with most national parks, the term awe-inspiring gains new meaning when you first experience the majestic views and connection with nature it provides. See full article and comment. One should never underestimate the sheer size of California. Oregon may be a neighboring state, but from my house in Los Angeles, it's a 660-mile journey that takes at least 10 hours. And that's just to get to the border. In other words, my wife and I were going to be in the car for a long time. Well, as long as it kept running, which when it comes to the 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG, was not a foregone conclusion. See full article and comment. Back in December, I drove to the Grand Canyon, a trip made all the more special thanks to the long-term 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG. The epic power, the hushed cabin, the serene ride and supportive seats of this Autobahn-bred luxury coupe proved its worth on the type of journey for which we bought the CL65 in the first place.

Fast-forward to two weeks ago when I was planning to visit another of America's national parks: Crater Lake. See full article and comment. In mid-December, we bought our 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG. Nine months later, we hit 10,000 miles. With our new cars, we do everything in our power to hit 20,000 miles within a year. With our fun ones, things like maintenance and general levels of comfort usually keep us from hitting this mark, but we try. Cue James Riswick taking a road trip to Oregon. What did it take for us to hit this mark? See full article and comment. Whether it's using brushes, rollers, pinstripes or aerosol cans, painting is fun. If you make mistakes, you can make them birds. Yeah, they're birds now. And as Riswick previously mentioned a nefarious character hijacked the tow hook cover from our long-term 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG and the replacement we ordered needed some paint.

I volunteered to do the work and here's how it turned out. See full article and comment. For quite some time now, the little plastic cover that conceals the rear tow hook of our 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG has been missing. We're not really sure when or how, but I'm guessing it was stolen. 45 needed for the paint. See full article and comment. I'd like to meet Andreas Schulz. I probably never will, but it would be a thrill to meet the man that built the 6.0-liter, 604-hp, twin-turbo V12 that powers our long-term 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG. How do I know it was Mr. Schulz that painstakingly assembled our engine? Simple, he signed it. No I'm not kidding. Every AMG engine is built by one man at the company's facility in Affalterbach, Germany. And when he is finished, and the engine is ready to be installed in a vehicle, he signs it just as Picasso signed his works.

Simonson Mercedes-Benz dealership. I want to tell you it was back in action the next day. Or three days later. Or even ten. But I can't. That's because we didn't see it until 12 days after Mike dropped it off with a check-engine light. See full article and comment. Yesterday I made the mistake of removing the engine cover from atop the twin-turbo V12 that powers our long-term 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG. What lies beneath is without a doubt the ugliest engine of all time. It was like peeling off Brad Pitt's clothes and finding me underneath. See full article and comment.
