Mercedes CL65 Evosport

Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Overview

At the top of the Mercedes-Benz range rests the CL65 AMG coupe. The ultimate tool for hedonists, the CL65 virtually mirrors the similarly AMG-tuned S65 sedan with the exception of one feature: ample rear seat legroom. While the CL65's rear seat is cosseting and luxurious compared to most cars, there's no question that buyers of this large coupe are looking for a personal luxury racecar. The CL65 features an earth-shattering 738 pound-feet of torque from its turbocharged 6.0 liter V12 engine, and an equally impressive 604 horsepower. Hooked up to one of the strongest 5-speed automatic transmissions ever built, this power train hurdles the CL65 faster than its 4,500 pound curb weight would suggest. The fine example above has added HP and Torque via an Evosport tune. Coupled with a transmission ecu flash, power is now at 740HP and 850FT LBs of Torque. This shatters 0-62 in only 3.7sec and allows a QTR mile time of 10.8sec. All this and Standard mercedes cl-class accessories including ventilated seats, Night View Assist, adaptive cruise control, 14-way seat adjustment, nine airbags, an active and driver-adjustable suspension and Mercedes' latest COMAND audio and navigation system. If you want luxury and a car that will accelerate faster to 200mph than a Z06, 911 turbo, Lamborghini LP640, or really any Ferrari (except the Enzo) this is the car for you... It also has a large trunk and room for 4 adults... I will admit defeat as the Bugatti Veyron and a highly modified ZR-1 will beat this car...
