Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG 2019 Review With Specs

The new Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is another dream car that has joined the AMG model range. The powerful AMG 6.0-liter V12 biturbo engine familiar from the S65 AMG and SL65 AMG twelve-cylinder models delivers a truly impressive driving experience in the exclusive high-performance coupe. Its maximum output of 612 bhp and maximum torque of 738 lb-ft are reflected in its outstanding performance data: the CL65 AMG attains 62 mph in 4.4 seconds and reaches the 124-mph mark in 13.3 seconds. Its maximum speed is 155 mph (electronically limited). In order to mark the 40th anniversary of Mercedes-AMG - the high-performance brand of the Mercedes Car Group - in suitably glittering style, the CL65 AMG is also being offered as a "40th Anniversary" limited edition model. A new type of paint finish reflects the special status of this exclusive version, which is restricted to just 40 vehicles for the whole world. This exceptional AMG coupe is the very first series-production Mercedes to feature AMG Alubeam, a unique paint finish which has previously only been seen on a handful of Mercedes show cars. The superbly styled interior also makes an impressive statement. The Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG "40th Anniversary" features two-tone Exclusive Passion all-Nappa-leather upholstery with a diamond. The polished 20-inch AMG twin-spoke forged wheels painted in titanium grey also contribute to the superb roadholding of the CL65 AMG. At the front, the 8.5-inch-wide wheels are fitted with 255/35 ZR20 tires, while 275/35 ZR20 tires equip the 9.5-inch-wide wheels at the rear. With their filigree spokes, they offer tantalizing views of a brake system, the like of which is not to be found in any other manufacturer's products. The system in question is the AMG high-performance brake system which sets new standards for stopping power, sensitivity and resistance to fading. In keeping with the innovative approach typical of AMG, the front brakes of the CL65 AMG are equipped with twin sliding calipers.

As Magrath noted a few weeks ago, several problems have kept the car out of our hands and at the dealership. We were still able to squeeze a few miles out of the coupe before it temporarily relocated to the maintenance bay at Simonson Mercedes. See full article and comment. In the likely case you don't follow me on Twitter, you're probably unaware that our 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is back in the shop. See full article and comment. We couldn't have placed a nail in the tire of our 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG any more perfectly. Didn't lose any air, and was still too close to the sidewall to be repairable!

With the frequent unexpected problems that arise in our 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG, it's nice to see our big coupe at the dealer for a normally scheduled service for once. We showed up at our local Mercedes-Benz dealership for the CL's B-Service.

It is a common and expensive source of problems with the car, and we've already experienced a few thus far in our short time owning our CL. However, before you bemoan ABC's unreliability and laugh at us for making such a foolhardy used car buying decision, allow me to offer a retort: ABC is wildly sophisticated and thoroughly impressive.

It's the same reason I dislike sunbathing or day baseball. Also, the state of Arizona. See full article and comment. Last weekend I drove our long-term 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG to what is probably its primary adopted North American habitat, a swanky resort in Santa Barbara.

Yes, the trend of full-size pickups as the personal transport choice of the rich has arrived on the west coast, after a long gestation in the Midwest. Most common of all were BMWs, and not necessarily the largest or most expensive. Plenty of 3 and 5 Series and X3s, oddly enough. Everything was pretty late model. No cool old cars at all. I was disappointed by the lack of imagination. Anyway, when I arrived, I pulled up to the entrance where I was greeted by a flotilla of valets. See full article and comment. Fellow editor Brent Romans recently replaced the battery in our long-term 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG. And it's a good thing, too, because I'm an idiot. See full article and comment. Make that a liter. Since said quart of 0W-40 Mobil 1 was previously placed in the car by some thoughtful editor (probably Herr Riswick), it made my job that much easier. So, why is the CL65 consuming oil? See full article and comment. This was the question fellow editor Mike Magrath posed to me after I finally spent some quality time with our 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG. I could start with. It wasn't an easy question to answer. See full article and comment. After the battery died in our 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG it was time to get a replacement. See full article and comment. The sunroof in our 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG used to work correctly. See full article and comment. This is the trunk of our 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG. Those are the floor mats to the CL65.

As if anyone is going to be gaining on you. My test car was equipped with one of the very few options available for it: KeylessGo, which spares you the agony of actually having to turn the key in the ignition. As long as you have the key fob in the car, a touch of the top of the shift knob fires up the mighty V12. You'll want to keep the windows open when you do this, just to hear the exhaust. The engine even blips itself on start-up. But every time I left the car, it beeped incessantly and flashed a message reminding me to take the key with me. If it's so damned smart, why couldn't it see that I had the key in my hand? The owner's manual consists of about seven booklets. You'll be hard-pressed to get through them before your lease runs out. Summing up this coupe is easy: insane. Understanding what it tries to prove is more difficult. Anyone who can afford this kind of tariff doesn't have to justify it to anyone.
