The Mercedes-Benz
CL-Class is that rare animal in the automotive kingdom, a large luxury coupe
capable of accommodating two rear passengers in comfort while simultaneously
shoving them into their seatbacks with abundant power. Other two-doors tend to
offer either opulence or power, but the CL manages both and features a
sumptuous leather-adorned interior to boot. The CL has undergone a few name
changes over the years, but it has maintained its status as perhaps the
quintessential large luxury coupe.
The CL has essentially
been a two-door version of the Mercedes-Benz flagship sedan -- today's S-Class.
Although the CL now ventures a little farther from the mother-ship in terms of
styling, it has retained its close family ties. As in the past, the two
vehicles share similar interior design, features and engine options. Since it's
based on such a large sedan, the CL is more of an autobahn-storming,
boulevard-cruising luxury coupe, rather than a road-carving GT.
The 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG is the
third-generation CL-Class. It is lighter, and much sleeker than its massive,
brick-shaped predecessor. It’s amply provided by an aluminum block, single
overhead camshaft V8 engine that displaces 5.5 litres and develops 493
horsepower 516lb of torque at 5600 rpm. Mated to Mercedes’ Touch Shift
five-speed tiptronic transmission, it’ll take this flagship coupe from zero to
60m/h in about four and a half seconds. The car has vented four-wheel disc ABS
brakes, of course. It is, by anyone’s measure, a splendid automobile, with superb
road-handling ability and far above average performance. It is also one of the
most elegantly styled cars on the road.
Among other things, it comes with a GPS system,
ventilated power seats with memory, Bi-Xenon headlights, side impact airbags,
dual zone automatic climate control, and a stability control system that
eliminates body roll.
Mercedes used the CL to showcase its latest
technologies such as Active Body Control (ABC) and Distronic adaptive cruise control.
The new ABC system basically eliminates body roll during cornering, braking,
and accelerating. As well as giving the car a wonderful ride, it also allows
you to fling it around as though it were a sports car. There aren’t many
cars of this size and class that have the same combination of lightness of feel
and comfort.
This particular CL55 AMG is in great shape. Just look at the pictures and
judge for yourself. The vehicle is mechanically sound and the interior looks nice.
The engine sounds great, it handles and drives superbly and has no problem
developing high speeds. Car runs straight as an arrow and tires do not pull in
any direction. The car can be exported, transferred and registered in any
state.
