- The new CL 65 AMG and S 65 AMG from Mercedes-AMG GmbH are the most powerful
models the brand has produced since it was established 35 years ago. The
exclusive Gran Turismo and the dynamic luxury saloon are powered by a newly
designed 6-litre V12 engine whose biturbo technology gives it a level of
performance previously unheard of in this engine size class: the twelve-cylinder
AMG power plant has an output of 450 kW/612 hp and develops its maximum torque
of 1000 newton metres between 2000 and 4000 rpm. These impressive figures
are responsible for a new dimension of performance: both vehicles can accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and on to an electronically limited top
speed of 250 km/h. Much of the credit for this impressive performance is
shared by the all-new design of the biturbo system, which features larger
turbochargers and a new, more powerful charge-air cooling system, and the
increase in the engine displacement (to 5980 cc) as well as many other engine
design measures.
The CL
65 AMG and the S 65 AMG feature the distinctive, powerful looks of AMG styling,
which is standard on both vehicles. The front and rear aprons as well as
the side skirts blend harmoniously with the timelessly elegant design of
the Mercedes models. The chromed "V12 Biturbo" lettering on the front wings
indicates the exceptional dynamic qualities of these vehicles, while the
two chrome-finished twin tailpipes of the AMG sports exhaust system at a
sporty touch at the rear. Inside, a particularly stylish ambience is created
by the extensive use of fine wood trim elements and the "Exclusive nappa"
leather upholstery, which is available in three colours. Electrically adjustable
AMG sports seats with the exclusive AMG upholstery piping layout and perforation
pattern, optimised lateral support, multicontour and memory functions as
well as seat heating make every journey in the CL 65 AMG a delight, whether
it involves twisting country roads or long-distance motorway cruising. The
S 65 AMG has dynamic multicontour front seats which are electrically adjustable
and feature a memory function and seat heating as well as the characteristic
AMG upholstery piping and perforation pattern. The distinctive style of the
twelve-cylinder flagship models is rounded off by the AMG instrument cluster
calibrated up to 360 km/h, the AMG ergonomic steering wheel with gearshift
buttons, and the chromed stainless-steel door sills featuring the AMG logo.
The standard equipment of the S 65 AMG also includes the PRE-SAFE anticipatory
occupant protection system which can recognise a potential accident situation
early enough to take appropriate measures to prepare the occupants and the
vehicle. The CL 65 AMG and S 65 AMG will be making their debut in the showrooms
of Mercedes-Benz sales and service outlets and dealerships in December 2003.
