The Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG, CLS63 AMG and SL350 - all are covetable models, and in this, our newest Mercedes Review Roundup installment, all managed to earn at least four stars (out of a possible five) from those that tested them. An impressive feat without question, and just another affirmation that if you - like me - do not currently own either one of Mercedes' 6.3-Liter models or the 2009 SL, we...

2008 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG How much is this car, anyway? Never mind, I don't care: I want one. Much more so than the S63 AMG sedan we had a couple of weeks ago, the sleek and purposeful CL coupe seems like the perfect repository for Mercedes-Benz 's 518-hp, 6.2-liter, AMG-tuned and -built, superstar V-8 engine. Maybe it's because, at 42, I'm easing into middle age (as much as I hate to admit it),...

Mercedes-Benz recently announced that when the 2009 range of its CL coupes goes on sale later on this summer, the entry-level CL550 will get the company's 4MATIC all-wheel drive system as standard equipment. The newest generation of the system adds a negligible 154lbs to the CL550's already substantial 4,485lb curb weight and should help the [...]

As automotive enthusiasts, we've all been there before: a new model makes its debut, and the first thing you think is 'Wow, I love the new ___________________ (fill in the blank with your attribute of choice).' Maybe it's the wheels; maybe its the lights; maybe its the grill. You probably even wished that same attribute was on another, different model. For a Lithuanian adept at modeling with PU-foam,...

Lithuanian body man, Audronis Gestautas, has created a vehicle like no other. Under his own brand name, the AG Excalibur uses the body and underpinnings of a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class . Besides the bucket loads of PU foam and the insanely massive 30-inch chrome wheels up front and 40-inch in the rear , the interior is littered with Swarovski Crystals .

The luxurious 2009 CL550 coupe (382 hp, 391 lb.-ft) will receive the latest version of the Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC all-wheel drive system as standard equipment. As modern all-wheel-drive systems become even more refined, they are increasingly popular, especially in the luxury car market.

If you have $120,000 or more to spend on a new automobile, cars are available to tell the world that you are wealthy, or powerful, or a great driver, or uber-fashionable. The Mercedes CL550, in contrast, doesn’t tell the world much at all. What it does do, in an incomparable manner, is to satisfy every [...]

No, 4MATIC does not mean that the CL500 has a 4-speed slushbox; it actually has Mercedes' 7-speed automatic. 4MATIC is Mercedes' all-wheel-drive system, which makes this the first time ever that the big CL coupe has been fitted with such a drivetrain. That means the V8 will send 55% of its 388 HP and 391 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels, and 45% to the front. The launch to 100 km/h (62mph) takes...

Spy photographers have spotted what appears to be the first prototype for a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class hybrid testing in Europe. On the outside, the car looks very much like a regular CL, except for the unusual components protruding from the hood on this test car. According to our sources, BMW hybrid prototypes have [...]

As much as we like rear-wheel-drive models, if you happen to live in snow-flaked areas like Massachusetts , there comes a time when you just wish your car had an all-wheel-drive system. And while we’re in no position to buy a Mercedes, we’re pretty sure that a lot of people will be glad to hear that Mercedes is about to launch a four-wheel-drive version of its top notch coupe, the CL Class.

With numbers like this, the big coupe is able to complete the 0-100km/h dash in just 4 seconds versus 4.6 seconds for the standard model. 200km/h comes up in only 11.9 seconds with top speed at 340km/h. Visual features include the new 21inch wheels and the wind-tunnel tested Brabus bodykit. Options include an enhanced brake package and several interior items. If all this seems like too much, there’s
