Pure design vocabulary

"Great lines. Great shape. Great performance. Great safety features. What more can I say about the new CL Coup??" When Mercedes-Benz's head of design, Professor Peter Pfeiffer, unveiled the coup? at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart in 2006, it received spontaneous applause. Of course, this was no ordinary car. The new CL-Class reinterprets the traditional values of large luxury Mercedes-Benz coup?s.

Power trip
|
The latest star in the AMG model range is an eight-cylinder unit developed entirely in-house. A combination of high engine speeds and large displacement enables the naturally aspirated 6.2-litre powerplant to develop 630Nm of torque and 378kW. This extraordinary power is available on-tap in the E 63 AMG and CLS 63 AMG. Horst von Sanden, Managing Director for Mercedes Car Group in Australia, says: "It represents a genuine transfer of technology and engineering success from the racetrack to the road."

Perfect parking
|
Squeezing into the tightest parking spaces is now yesterday's problem thanks to the new electronic parking guidance system fitted in the new CL-Class. This new technology even helps to locate the space in the first place. Up to eight close-range radar sensors send out electromagnetic waves, which rebound from nearby objects. This then calculates a digital image of the car's surroundings, creating a map on the multifunction display. Once in reverse gear, the control unit plays the role of an electronic guide until you're parked.
