About Mercedes-Benz CL500
2000 marks the launch of the new Mercedes-Benz CL500. It is lighter, cheaper, and more advanced than the previous Mercedes-Benz. Everything has been improved, from the drivetrain to the suspension to the exterior shape. The new Mercedes-Benz car features a curvaceous shell. The sloping grille and long, flat hood give the CL500 a lively appearance. Its drag coefficient is 0.28. The CL500 combines a 600-pound weight reduction and an advanced suspension system. The CL500's lively image transcends its looks. Perhaps the Mercedes-Benz CL500's most impressive feature is its Active Body Control (ABC). It uses a hydraulic servo system mounted on top of each coil spring to control body roll, dive, and squat. Throw it into a tight corner and it will stay flat and composed. The ABC settings include normal and sport to accommodate varying degrees of driving enthusiasm.
Powering the Mercedes-Benz CL500 is a 5.0-liter SOHC 24-valve V8 engine. It delivers 302 horsepower and 339 foot-pounds of torque to a five-speed automatic transmission. It has a wide torque range and adaptive transmission. All these will adjust to the driver's needs. And the car never feels slow. For those who want to make their own upshift and downshift decisions, the "Touch Shift" manual mode is available for maximum gear control. The CL500's high-tech pedigree continues inside. It features 14-way adjustable heated and ventilated seats with a "pulse" massage mode. But the audio and navigation systems are integrated into the Mercedes-branded COMAND control unit.

The CL500 uses coil springs to carry the car's normal loads. And it augments them with a hydraulic plunger. The plunger pushes down but does not pull up on the wheels. In other words, both systems are technically semi-active suspensions. These improvements are largely due to advances in fluid handling technology. The Mercedes-Benz operates over the entire range of wheel travel, with up to five cycles per second - fast enough for a surge slalom or lane change maneuver. The 4,116-pound CL500 can reach 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. And it runs a quarter in 14.7 seconds at 98 mph. But EPA city fuel economy drops to 16 mpg. The slicker shape helps keep highway mileage constant at 23 mpg.
