More power, reduced fuel consumption and still a comfy and luxurious car. As we already know, AMG models are typically the most expensive and highest-performing variants of each MB model.

While the CL was designed mostly as a personal luxury coupe, a two-door version of the brand’s flagship S-Class, the S 65 AMG was something special. It was a potent car that could threaten any other Gran tourer vehicle on an Autobahn and win by a large margin.

MERCEDES BENZ CL AMG

In 2007, Mercedes-Benz and AMG celebrated 40 years of partnership. To celebrate that, the CL was presented with a special model: the CL65 offered as a 40th-anniversary edition as well.

It was one of the most exclusive AMG models ever. Only 40 vehicles were built, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Mercedes-Benz CL.

Mercedes-Benz had a long history in building luxury coupe vehicles and the CL was one of them. But in 2003 they went all the way and give the car an AMG treatment.

In the fall of 2002, Mercedes-Benz introduced the AMG version of the CL, and, along with the supercharged engine, came additional visual upgrades and a revised interior.

Mercedes-Benz introduced the CL 55 AMG F1 Edition in 2000 and built it in a limited number of just 55 units. However, the car was not initially developed to be sold on the market but to be a peace car on Formula 1 tracks.

By the 2000s, Mercedes-Benz was the only German carmaker that offered a true Grand Tourer coupe, and besides the regular versions, it provided an AMG-tuned one that could be more than just a trans-continental comfortable ride.
