Introduction

The Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG V12 Bi-Turbo is a stunning example of the evolution of AMG, an independent entity providing upgrades to Mercedes-Benz customers. Acquired by Mercedes-Benz in the 1990s, AMG gained a reputation for being inaccurate tools, but over time, they became more refined and produced serious track cars like the GTR and the AMG-1. The CL65 was one of the most expensive Mercedes in production at the time, with the 65 badge attached to cars with a V8 engine. The CL65 was an opulent affair, with much of the interior taken from the S-Class coupe. The CL65 was one of the most expensive Mercedes in production at the time, with the 65 badge historically attached to cars that were ludicrously expensive, around 200,000 pounds.

Exquisite Design and Modifications

The cosmetic work on the car was done by Yorkshire Hydrographics, and Carl wishes to give them a special thank you. However, none of the modifications done to the car have been mechanical in nature. The engine has not been mapped, and the suspension is standard. The brakes are standard, and the wheels are not though. The car has undergone several modifications, including the replacement of many brake components, putting a new ECU in, and visual modifications like extra carbon work for and under the engine bay. The exhaust has also been altered, with 200 cell sports cats and a back box delete. The car is now a calm and refined place compared to the M6, which is already a nice luxury car.

Powerful Performance

The CL65 is a luxurious car with a 6 liter V12 engine, codenamed the M275, which is an evolution of the old naturally aspirated S-Class. The engine is impressive at 612 horses and has a torque of 738 pound feet or around 1,000 newton meters. The old-fashioned five-speed automatic gearbox is still present, as the seven-speed was not enough for the job. The CL65 is an unbelievably refined car in the real world, particularly on bendy roads. The car has a 7-speed DCT, which is lightning fast and responds to everything you tell it instantly.

The car’s performance is impressive, especially when you put your foot down. It can go from about 2 to 4000 RPM, and the rear tires are working hard by default. The noise is fascinating, and it makes an interesting combination of Aston Martin V12 mixed in with a dose of old school Lamborghini Diablo Murcielago. The exhaust is also quite impressive, and Carl’s exhaust work is impressive.

Luxurious Interior and Comfort

The CL65 has all the options you could have had, but it is already a fairly well-loaded car compared to the 6 series. The car has all the options you could have had, but compared to the 6 series, it is a bit more expensive.

The CL is a genuine pillarless coupe designed specifically for the Autobahn, offering a more comfortable ride than the M6. The car is equipped with air-controlled air suspension and is more comfortable even with big wheels. The five-speed box is a bit of a killjoy, as it slows down in manual mode and doesn’t respond when in auto mode. However, it has enough pull to keep the car going.

The styling of the CL is divisive, but it is part of the Rich Automotive tapestry. The CL is designed for the Autobahn and has enough room in the back to accommodate a couple of adults. It is not massively roomy but fits well behind the M6. The CL is not as agile as the E-Class or as luxurious as the Lona C63, but it cuts its own cloth.
