2007 Mercedes-Benz CL 63 AMG Pictures, Specifications, Information

Mercedes-AMG unveiled the range-topping version of the new luxury coupé, the CL 63 AMG at the 2006 Paris Motor Show. Under the bonnet is an AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine that was developed independently and delivers a maximum output of 525 hp and 465 lb-ft of peak torque for guaranteed scintillating performance. A glance at the high-tech specification of this exceptional two-door coupé emphatically under-lines its exclusive status: in addition to the unmistakable AMG bodystyling and the AMG sports suspension based on Active Body Control, the AMG high-perfor-mance braking system is also fitted as standard. PRE-SAFE®, the anticipatory occupant protection system, is included too and may be supplemented by the addition of both the innovative new PRE-SAFE® Brake and DISTRONIC PLUS as an option.

The CL 63 AMG represents the highlight of Mercedes-AMG's model initiative so far, which has encompassed ten brand new high-performance AMG models to date. At the heart of the eight-cylinder flagship model is the AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine.

From its displacement of 6208 cc, the high-revving, naturally aspirated drive unit musters up 525 hp at 6800 rpm and generates its peak torque of 465 lb-ft at 5200 rpm. This gives the AMG powerpack a higher power-to-swept-volume and torque ratio than any other naturally aspirated series-produced eight-cylinder engine in the world. The CL 63 AMG is propelled from 0-60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, with top speed electronically limited to 155 mph.
