The 4.6 L bi-turbo V8 engine in the CL 550 4MATIC™ Coupe produces 429 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque resulting in performance of 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. The bi-turbo V12 engine in the CL 600 Coupe – one of the world’s most powerful production car engines – produces 510 hp and a staggering 612 lb-ft of torque. From a standstill, 100 km/h is reached in a quick 4.6 seconds.

Both these muscular powerhouses are balanced by transmissions of equal intelligence. The CL 550 4MATIC™ Coupe operates swiftly with the 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission as standard equipment making for smoother cruising, more responsive acceleration and even improved fuel efficiency. The CL 600 Coupe is fitted with a 5-speed automatic transmission with driver-adaptive technology that will analyze and learn driving patterns and adjusts its shift points accordingly.

To elevate ride smoothness and comfort, the CL-Class features self-leveling AIRMATIC air suspension[1] to help keep ride height constant at all times. For even more driving pleasure, the Adaptive Damping System (ADS) allows you to adjust suspension firmness at the touch of a button. And in the CL 600 Coupe, CL 63 AMG Coupe and CL 65 AMG, Active Body Control[2] (ABC) – one of the industry’s most advanced suspension systems – virtually eliminates body roll during cornering.
