Up for auction is our pristine 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL600 Coupe, with a Twin Turbo V12 motor.
This top-of-the-line model puts out 493 silky-smooth horsepower that feels and sounds like a jet airplane taxing on a runway.
Getting to 60 miles per hour in 4.6 seconds is not too bad. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 illegal miles per hour.

Do your Google search and you will see that this top-of-the-line model comes with tons of expensive options.
Go to Wikipedia and type in 2003 Mercedes CL600 and then scroll down to "W215" models.

The best highway mileage I got was 22 mpg (freeway) according to the onboard computer.
I did that by staying under 2,000 rpm (about 70 mph) with cruise control on.

I'm an old motorhead geezer that has owned many classic high-performance cars but this is the nicest one of all.
It took me a very long time to find it. It had been a leased car in Arizona, then went to southern California and
then north to my town of Los Altos, California. It has never been driven in snow or salt, as far as I know.

Because we are retired, the car very seldom gets driven, thus the low mileage of 50, 2XX. It is parked in a heated garage.
Also, when this car is driven in sunshine the rear window sun-screen is always used. This is done
to protect the rear interior of the car. It works great, and is easily raised or lowered with a push of a button on the dash.

I'm a former certified Mercedes-Benz Concours d'Elegance judge and have shown this car at Treasure Id., San Francisco
and at the Palo Alto Concours with the Mercedes-Benz Club. Since I was a judge it was only for show, not competition.

The original price in 2003 (OTD) was $140,000! Now you can get it at a fraction of this price.
This car comes with the optional $5,600 AMG body package, wider rear wheels and chrome AMG wheels. Motor is stock.
This is why it might be a little higher than some of the other CL600s on eBay.

When I first got it there was a small blemish on the chrome grill so I had a new one installed (see photo).
The Michelin tires were replaced recently, as well as new brakes. The spare tire has never been used.
While I owned it, it has always been hand washed and waxed with Zymol. As far as I know, it has never been smoked in.
Ash trays (front and rear) have never been used (see photo).

This past year over $10,000 of new parts have been put in, such as a new ABC (Active Body Control) system, tires, brakes, radiatior,
timing belt, water pump, etc., etc.

The exterior color is Bright Silver and the interior color is Ash. Speaking of the interior, when you get inside
you think you are in a brand new car. Since we have owned it there were no children or pets inside.
In my opinion, it happens to have the most comfortable seat on the planet!
Both front seats heat up, cool down and the front ones give you a massage while driving. How cool is that?

All controls operate as designed. It comes with original manuals, Mercedes-Benz CD maps,
Mercedes unused first-aid kit, and original unused tools (see photo).
It also comes with 4 black WeatherTech floor mats. These are great for protecting the original carpeting.

The only flaw that I am aware of are hairline cracks in the front fenders (very typical of CL models).
I have all receipts for parts and repairs since purchasing it in early 2008.

The car is registered in California up to January 2015!

It comes with no warranty and is sold as is, where is.
PLEASE NOTE: The personal license plates are not included in the sale. Also, since I am listing this locally
I reserve the right to close this auction early.

If you have any questions feel free to phone me at: (1-650) 941-8621

SHIPPING: This is 100% buyer's responsibility. I have used (enclosed trailer) Intercity Lines, Inc. (Jay Leno uses them)

PAYMENT: $500.00 deposit (through PayPal) is due within 72 hours of end-of-auction.
Balance is due within 10 days of end-of-auction.
If balance is paid by Cashier's Check the car will not be released
until the check has completely cleared my bank, which could take up to two weeks.

If you want to fly to my area and drive it home I will gladly pick you up at the San Jose or San Francisco Airport.

2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class revealed again in 1:18 scale

Fri, 10 May 2013

There is plenty to look forward to when it comes to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, but it could end up being a fairly anticlimactic reveal thanks to fully exposed spy shots, a leaked press photo and now images of a diecast version of the luxury sedan. Autoweek.nl has images showing a highly detailed 1:18 scale model of the redesigned S-Class that matches up with everything we've seen so far.
This isn't the first time a model car spoiled a new vehicle's reveal, as the 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class and 2013 SRT Viper were both unceremoniously revealed in toy form first. World Car Fans is reporting that the car 2014 S-Class will be officially unveiled on May 15, but at this point, all that's left to wonder about is the official on-sale date and what will be under the hood.

Aston Martin reboots its EV offensive with Mercedes-Benz technology

Mon, Nov 2 2020

Mercedes-Benz will provide Aston Martin the technology it needs to enter the electric car segment, according to the British firm's top executive. Its first battery-powered model is scheduled to arrive in 2025 at the earliest. As we've previously reported, Mercedes will increase its stake in Aston Martin to 20% by 2023. In exchange, it will grant the company access to its hybrid and electric powertrains. It's a win-win situation: On one hand, Mercedes can leverage the benefits of economies of scale. On the other hand, Aston Martin (which is far smaller) is able to access turn-key technology without spending an exorbitant amount of money on development. Executives are consequently rebooting Aston Martin's on-again, off-again electrification offensive. Its first electric model will be built using Mercedes-Benz-sourced technology when it goes on sale in 2025 or 2026, according to Automotive News Europe. Company boss Tobias Moers (who ran Mercedes-AMG until earlier in 2020) clarified the platform will come from Germany, but there's no word yet on whether the motor and the battery will, too. However, he confirmed plans to resurrect the Lagonda name on an electric-only sub-brand have been canceled. "Lagonda has a different purpose for the future. Electric-driven cars are supposed to be Aston Martins," he said. Hybrids are in the pipeline, too, including a gasoline-electric version of the high-riding DBX. Engineers were previously developing the technology in-house, but the project could end up in the automotive ash heap now that more Mercedes powertrains are in the picture. Moers affirmed he hasn't decided which route to take yet. "We are still working on that [hybrid drivetrain], but now we have alternatives. It's too early to say," he noted. Aston Martin will release the mid-engined Valhalla in 2021, and the plug-in hybrid DBX will begin rolling off the production line in 2023. Several new models will make their debut that year, Moers promised a "product firework," and it's reasonable to assume most will be available with some degree of electrification. He predicted every fourth or fifth car Aston Martin sells in 2024 will be electrified in one way or another. Green blues Aston Martin's path to electrification hasn't been smooth. In 2015, it joined forces with China-based LeEco to build an electric variant of the Rapide, but it was forced to finish the project on its own after its partner canceled the deal due to financial issues.
