Full description
The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class was a line of luxury coupés produced by the German automaker Mercedes- Benz, produced from 1992 to 2013. The name CL stands for the German Coupé Leicht (Coupé Light).
The second generation of the CL is the W215-chassis coupé of 1999–2006. It is based on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W220), (which was launched in late 1998 in Europe), though it rides on a 203 mm shorter wheelbase. The CL's front fascia of four oval headlights is similar to that of the W210 and W211 E-Class. The CL was offered as various versions: 5.0 liter V8-powered CL 500, the NA V8-powered CL 55, the supercharged V8-powered CL 55 AMG, the NA V12-powered CL 600 (2000-2002), the limited production (about 200 per year worldwide) 5.5 litre V12 Bi-Turbo CL600 (2003-2006), the very rare limited-edition NA CL 63 AMG (26 examples only), the 2000 NA CL 55 AMG F1 Edition (55 examples only), and the limited production (196 total) 6.0 litre V12 Bi-Turbo CL 65 AMG (2004-2006). All models seat four. Development of the second generation took place from 1993 to 1999, with final design being approved in circa 1995-1996.
The Mercedes-Benz exhibited here is a 2001 CL55 AMG F1, an extremely rare car with a total production of only 55 units. This was a tribute to the modified Safety Car version used in Formula One, during the 1999 and 2000 seasons. The engine was a naturally-aspirated 5.5-liter V8 delivering 360 HP. This was the first road car to feature full Ceramic Brembo Vented and Cross Drilled Disc Brakes.
The CL coupes come equipped with the very latest in Mercedes-Benz technology, and along with the S-Class sedans the CL coupes receive new technological features. Active Body Control uses four hydraulic suspension rams that use three pressure regulators, and along with several intermediate computers and a master CPU, keeps this car absolutely flat through the corners. The CL class has a lengthy list of custom available features.
This car has covered 6,515 kilometers.
