The 2007 Mercedes CL600 will immediately impress you when you hit the accelerator. Automatic gearshifts pop off one after another, but the onward rush is hardly interrupted. From the moment the car lunges away from rest with a sharp squeal of rear wheelspin until the 130-mph speed limiter gently restrains its charge, the CL rushes forward on an unstoppable tide of torque.
You will also be impressed with the 5.5-liter twin-turbo V-12 produces 612 pound-feet of twist from a mere 1800 rpm and sustains that level to 3500 rpm. So each of the five gears provides relentless thrust throughout its range.
The CLS63 AMG may have been out of sight for some time, but it is never out of mind when you get from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. This breathtaking performance created by the vehicle is propelled by the most powerful, naturally aspirated V-8 engine in its class at the present time.
The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class is given a sleeker profile than your average luxury sedan. For this reason, the company actually calls it a coupe, even though it’s basically just a dressed-up E-Class sedan. Its V8 engines is given an infusion of power, and it gains safety and luxury amenities for 2007. Like most midsize sedans it seats only four passengers, instead of five.
