The 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class lineup gains some new models tuned by the company's high-performance AMG division. Dubbed CL63 and CL65, these sporty coupes join existing CL550 and CL600 models. The CL550 and CL63 use V8 engines of 5.5 and 6.2 liters, respectively. CL600 and CL65 versions have V12 engines of 5.5 and 6.0 liters, respectively. All CLs have an automatic transmission: 7 speeds on the CL550 and CL63, 5 speeds on the CL600 and CL65. The 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class is essentially a 2-door coupe version of the 4-door S-Class sedan. Available safety equipment includes ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front and rear side airbags, and curtain side airbags. The 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class has standard rear obstacle detection, a navigation system, and a wireless cell phone link. A late model-year addition is the CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition. This model is a limited edition of just 40 cars, each with unique interior and exterior trim.
