About Mercedes-Benz CL600
The Mercedes-Benz CL600 is a variant of the C215 CL-Class. The Mercedes-Benz CL600 was introduced in 2000. The Benz CL600 is a series of luxury coupes powered by Mercedes' M137 E58 engine. This 362hp 5.8L V12 was used until 2003 when Mercedes began fitting the Benz CL600 with their M275 powerplant, a 493hp twin-turbo 5.5L V12. Both engines were paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the rear wheels. A total of 8,603 examples of the Benz CL600 were built by the end of production in 2006.
Weighing over 2 tons, the Benz CL600 is certainly a heavyweight Merc. It did, however, possess an abundance of power under its hood, 376 horses to be exact, the rear wheels were tasked to manage an impressive 591 lb-ft of torque. Moreover, the 0 to 60 mph sprint could be easily reached in a blisteringly quick time of 5.3 seconds. Not as fast as the hot rod Benz AMG versions, but more of a silent, comfortable cruiser with effortless power. The Benz CL600 accelerates to 60 mph in only 5.7 seconds, inhales the quarter in 14.2 seconds at 102 mph, and bounces off the electronic speed limiter at 130 mph. That's 0.6 seconds ahead of the last V-12 S-class two-door we tested here in December of 1993, equipped with the old 389-hp, 6.0-liter, 420-pound-feet V-12.

And thanks to its system, the new Mercedes V-12 consumes less oil than its predecessor. The valves snap closed in the middle of the exhaust stroke and stay so to eliminate pumping losses and keep the cylinders warm until the full thrust is needed. On the road, the 20-percent fuel-economy gain is transparent to deliver the enjoyment of the Full V-12 Experience. The system cuts out the cylinders below a light-throttle threshold that varies with speed and includes some cruising situations. Mercedes says in normal driving the cylinders can be deactivated about 50 percent of the time. A valve in the exhaust partly ensures the sound quality remains constant.
The Active Body Control suspension keeps the big car flat by ordering hydraulic rams on the strut to counteract the Benz CL600's 4275 pounds' worth of body roll, pitch, and dive. The impact of frost heaves and other road blight telegraphs is more succinct than expected. Some exterior accessories and interior accessories can also be replaced.
