Mercedes-AMG showcases high performance models in 40th year

'The new top-of-the-line-model, the CL 65 AMG with its powerful V12 biturbo engine delivering 612 hp and 1000 Newton metres of torque, represents the ultimate in driving dynamics and is limited to just 40 vehicles,' said Lee Boyle, Regional Sales Manager, Mercedes-AMG, Middle East.

The new CLK 63 AMG Black Series represents a transition from motorsport in its purest form. This super-fast V8 coupé bears a strong visual and technological resemblance to the official F1™ safety car. With its sophisticated cooling technology and new AMG sports suspension featuring spring and shock absorber units with adjustable coil springs, this 507-hp two-seater car comes with all the right credentials for hard campaigning on the racing circuit.

The new CL 65 AMG is the third AMG model to have the mighty AMG 6.0-litre V12 biturbo engine under its bonnet. This exclusive high-performance car posts outstanding performance figures with 100 km/h reached in 4.4 seconds and 200 km/h after just 13.3 seconds.

This special breed of CL 65 AMG is the first Mercedes-Benz production vehicle to be finished in AMG Alubeam. This unique paint finish gives the colour the appearance of liquid metal and appears even more vibrant by reflecting the light in a particular way. Inside, the CL 65 AMG '40th Anniversary' makes a distinctive impression with two-tone all-nappa-leather appointments in the new AMG V12 diamond pattern, plus carbon-fibre trim.

The CLK 63 AMG Black Series makes its mark with other highlights and like the limited-edition CL 65 AMG '40th Anniversary', it was also developed in the AMG PERFORMANCE STUDIO.

This lightning fast two-seater V8 coupé takes its cue from the official F1™ safety car that is in action at the Formula 1 World Championship races. The AMG 6.3-litre V8 unit, whose output has been boosted to 507 hp, propels the car from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. Carefully honed for the race track, the coupé incorporates sophisticated cooling measures for maximum endurance no matter how hard it is driven.

The uncompromising exterior tone of the car is echoed inside with AMG sports bucket seats (on the ECE version), an AMG performance steering wheel with an oval rim and a diameter of 365 millimetres, as well as carbon-fibre trim on the centre console. The AMG instrument cluster and the interior door panelling combine to create the functional atmosphere of a genuine racing car.
