Cutting-edge engine technology empowers the CL 600 to rapidly develop its strength. Our top-of-range power unit, the V12 biturbo, is more athletic than ever before. The power output has been increased from 368 kW (500 hp) to 380 kW (517 hp) and the torque rating from 800 Nm to 830 Nm. It also displays outstanding response characteristics: the V12 biturbo develops its maximum torque rating from 1900 revolutions per minute and maintains it up to 3500 revolutions per minute. The CL 600 has two turbochargers and intercooling to thank for such excellent values.
To save weight, the cylinder heads are made from die-cast magnesium. 3-valve technology improves airflow and, thanks to dual ignition, optimises combustion.
It is hard to believe, but the massive power of the CL 600 has been further increased - the CL 65 AMG is here. The sporty top of the line model awaits you with a 6.0-litre V12 biturbo powerplant which produces 450 kW (612 HP) and a maximum torque of 1,000 Nm.
