Mercedes Benz CL Class

About Mercedes Benz CL Class
The stylish CL-Class coupe comes in CL-500 and CL-600 variants. The CL-500 is propelled by a powerful 5.5L V-8 engine that generates an impressive 388 bhp and a remarkable 530 Nm of torque, while the CL-600 receives a more powerful 5.5-litre V-12 engine that delivers an exhilarating power of 517 bhp and a torque of 830 Nm at 1,900 rpm to 3,500 rpm.


The CL-500 is coupled with the new 7G-Tronic 7-Speed automatic transmission that promises a quick response, smooth gear shifts, tremendous accelerating power, and an excellent fuel economy for this segment. Mercedes proudly claims that the CL-Class is the first passenger car in the world with this newly developed 7G-Tronic transmission that immensely contributes to the car's strong acceleration and fuel consumption. The CL-600 is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.


According to Mercedes, the CL-Class V-8 Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers in 5.5 seconds and the CL-Class V-12 Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers in 4.6 seconds. This high-performance engine carries a sporty 4-link suspension on the front and a 4-link suspension on the rear. The front and rear suspensions are even more advanced with an integral support frame and an anti-dive control system. It offers agile handling and an effortless driving experience that perfectly suits city driving conditions.


The CL-Class has a striking and distinctive exterior style. The front is adorned with a stylishly designed radiator grille embedded with the Mercedes-Benz badge flanked by huge high-tech headlights. A sporty looking exterior is a perfect blend of modern innovative design and unbeatable engineering. It rolls on elegant alloy wheels and looks to hug the road, ready to deliver a dynamic driving experience. A unique rising feature line sweeps across the flanks of the vehicle and merges with the characteristic roof line before continuing on to the rear lights which wrap-around to give the rear a powerful and wide stance.
