Two special events make 2007 a particularly significant year for
Mercedes-AMG: the arrival of a new top model - the CL65 AMG -
which rounds off the unique AMG range and which also, in "40th
Anniversary" limited edition guise, marks a special anniversary:the
high-performance brand of the Mercedes Car Group (MCG)
celebrates its 40th birthday in 2007.
"40th Anniversary" Edition with AMG Alubeam Paint Finish
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 pattern, a color-coordinated Alcantara roof lining and
embossed V12 logos on the front head restraints. The "40th
Anniversary" lettering on the center console confirms the exceptional
character of the new coupe and at the same time serves as
a reminder of the incomparable history of AMG. Further evidence
of the car's highly exclusive status is provided by the "One out
of 40" badge on the hand rest of the COMAND controller.
V12 Biturbo Engine: Dynamic Performance at the Highest Level
The highest level of performance is guaranteed by the AMG 6.0-liter
V12 biturbo engine with its displacement of 5,980 cc: its maximum
output of 612 bhp is maintained between 4800 and 5100 rpm
while the maximum torque of 738 lb-ft (electronically limited) is
available from 2,000 to 4,000 rpm. These impressive engine
data are the key to exceptional performance and superbly
assured driving dynamics. But the powerful AMG twelve-cylinder
unit is also in its element when cruising effortlessly in high
gear. Its superbly responsive character is as impressive as its
smooth, low-vibration running qualities which guarantee the
high level of touring comfort typically associated with Mercedes.
The characteristic AMG twelve-cylinder sound is ensured by
the AMG sports exhaust system with two twin chromed
V12-design tailpipes. Catalytic converters with tri-metallic
coating provide a faster response from a cold start,
more efficient exhaust-gas aftertreatment and a longer
service life.
The drive power of the new CL65 AMG is transmitted to
the wheels by the AMG Speedshipt five-speed automatic
transmission with AMG steering-wheel gearshift paddles
and Direct Select gearshift. An "S/C/M" mode button in the
center console allows the driver to choose between the
"Sport", "Comfort" and "Manual" driving programs.
AMG Body Styling: Powerful and Elegant Design
The advanced technology of the CL65 AMG is complemented
perfectly by the vehicle's powerful, elegant and dynamic design
idiom. The AMG body styling and the self-assured lines of the
large Mercedes coupe make a superbly cohesive formal statement.
Large air intakes, side air outlets and round fog lamps with
chrome surrounds dominate the front, as do the special AMG
radiator grille with two horizontal chrome louvers and the
darkened bi-xenon headlamps. Distinctive side skirts and
"V12 BITURBO" lettering enhance the sides while the two
twin chromed V12-design tailpipes and the muscular rear
apron with its black diffuser insert make the rear of
the vehicle particularly eye-catching.
AMG High-Performance Brakes with Innovative Twin Sliding
Calipers
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. A world first, this new
technology combines the advantages of a floating-caliper brake -
lower heat transfer to the brake fluid and significantly enhanced
comfort as a result of the way the brake pads are located - with
the performance of a large fixed-caliper brake.
