Mercedes-benz Cl-class Amg on 2040-cars
Marietta, Georgia, United States
This AMG has been professionally blacked out with smoked headlights and taillights. Also has black powder coated rims (not painted). The powder coating bakes the paint onto the rims for long lasting durability. This vehicle also has brand new tires, brakes and rotors with less than 1000 miles on them. This work was done by RBM Mercedes of Atlanta.Car & Driver Reviews.2008 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMGLet's leave it at this: stupefying. SHORT TAKE ROAD TESTLike the top-dog S-class sedan on which it's based, the CL-class two-door is now offered in four versions that range from the 382-hp CL550, a luxurious coupe that would seem to offer enough thrills for any reasonable driver, to its evil twin, the thoroughly entertaining, completely irrational, Lohan-grade 604-hp CL65 AMG. Slotted between those amusing extremes are the other two versions of the CL, the CL600 and the CL63 AMG. At first glance, the CL600 and the CL63 seem quite similar—they are priced within $10,000, each has just over 500 horsepower, their weight varies by some 11 pounds, and they post nearly identical performance numbers. Yet the character of each version is actually as different as a CL550 is to a CL65.Two distinctive engines are what make the two CLs very singular cars. Powering the CL63 AMG is a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V-8 that churns out 518 horsepower at 6800 rpm and 465 pound-feet of torque at 5200 rpm. Eminently powerful, the V-8 lives to rev to its 7200-rpm redline and is perfectly matched to the seven-speed automatic. The powertrain thrusts the CL63 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 12.8 seconds at 113 mph—numbers that are identical to our CL600 test car's performance.Since the CL63 is a product of Mercedes-Benz's AMG tuner shop, it gets a full-on Los Angeles-grade body kit, 20-inch wheels on a stiffened and lowered chassis, and a dual exhaust that sounds like ripping hundred-dollar bills at high amplification.

Mercedes calls CLA 'best launch in 20 years' as it warns dealers of tight supplies
Fri, 13 Dec 2013It's still in the early going, but it's looking more and more like the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA is a verifiable home run for the German brand. According to a new report from Bloomberg, the new small car isn't just widening the sales gap between Mercedes and BMW, it's attracting a new, younger breed of customers into the brand's showrooms. But that early success is straining supplies of the turbocharged four-door.
Dealers have been warned that the first half of 2014 will see limited supplies for CLA, with a letter to dealers indicating that "tight inventories and low days supply" will exist from February through June, despite the car's Kecskemét, Hungary plant running at full tilt.
"This is our best launch in 20 years," said Steve Cannon, the US boss for Mercedes. "The CLA has been a phenomenal success right out of the gate." The numbers certainly support that. We reported in early October that Mercedes moved 2,300 CLAs in its first week on sale, and now Bloomberg is saying CLA sales were almost singlehandedly responsible for Benz's November sales gains. Mercedes' annual sales are up 14 percent through the November, and it's enjoying a healthy 7,600-car lead over BMW.
Mercedes widens luxury sales gap on strong early CLA demand
Wed, 02 Oct 2013Mercedes-Benz CLA sales have been booming, with the Stuttgart-based manufacturer moving 2,300 of the sleek four-doors in its first week on sale. That is astonishing. Mercedes moved nearly twice as many CLAs (which start at $29,900) in one week than Jaguar, a brand that is on a very solid roll, sold in all of September. Ignoring the price differences between the Jag line and the CLA, that is still wildly impressive.
Mercedes has been pushing the CLA in television ads, using a shortened version of its Super Bowl spot, which starred William Dafoe, Usher and Kate Upton. "As the bargain entrance into the Mercedes portfolio, we weren't sure how luxury buyers would react," Kelly Blue Book auto analyst Alec Gutierrez told Bloomberg.
The CLA push was just part of MB's 6.7-percent increase in September sales, which were also helped along by a 17-percent jump in E-Class sales. That surge has allowed Mercedes to widen its 2013 sales lead over its rival, BMW, to 2,491 cars, according to Bloomberg. If CLA sales continue at this rate, we can only expect that margin to grow.
Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.
