New Mercedes-Benz CL-Class raises luxury coupe car

Mercedes innovations such as the Active Body Control (ABC) suspension system, the Intelligent Light System with five lighting functions and PRE-SAFE® anticipatory occupant protection all come as standard.

Night view assist with infrared headlamps, reversing camera, voice control for car radio, DVD changer and navigation as well as a tyre pressure monitoring system are other optional Mercedes assistance systems for increased handling safety and comfort.

Two powerful engines with 8 or 12 cylinders are available, delivering a notable increase in output and torque. The eight-cylinder powerplant in the CL 500 delivers 388 hp and accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds nearly one second quicker than the previous model.
The ultra-modern biturbo twelve-cylinder engine under the bonnet of the new CL 600 generates 517 hp and has a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 4.6 seconds (previous model: 4.8 seconds).

"The two-door model combines peerless exclusivity and charismatic design with the sort of cutting-edge technology that no other manufacturer can match worldwide," said Johannes Fritz, Director, Sales and Marketing, Mercedes Car Group, Middle East.
