Via Carscoop, “The 5.065 m (199 in) long Mercedes CL Coupe will be offered in two versions: the CL500 that wears a 388 Hp 5.5 V8 and the CL600 with a 517 Hp 5.5 V12. The CL500 can go from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5,4 sec while the more powerfull CL600 in just 4,6 sec. In both cars top speed is electronicaly limited to 155 mph (250 km/h). Mercedes also plans to present an AMG version early next year. Sales will start in Europe in mid September.”
Via Jalopnik, “It gets all the shiny objects expected in late-model Mercedes products, including the company’s COMAND driver interface, PRE-SAFE automatic braking system and ABC active body control suspension. As expected, it’ll come in two sizes, the V8-powered, 383-hp CL500 and 532-hp, V12-powered CL600. AMG will likely make its own introduction of the (hyperbole alert) 10,000-hp CL63.”
The current MSRP for the 2006 Mercedes Benz CL is “$95,500-$179,600″ — I take it that the $179,000 is for the AMG CL65.
