Yes it is real....

It will be a CLS with a big bore V8 (no blower). The CLS55 will come to market first and then once the 5.5k motor is taken from production it will be replaced with the CLS65

Maybe in 2006 (late)

Will it really be a 65? I heard MB has registered SL69, S69, E69, CL69 and CLS69?

Actually to put more controversy into the mix, there will be as follows

CLS55 V8K

replaced a year ot two later by...

CLS63 with N/A 6.3 DOHC 4 valve per cylinder, V8 with approx 500hp and 600NM and 7G Tronic

CLS65 Tt V12 still unknown at this time

That is all at this time.

The 69 models were intended as an april fools joke by UK EVO mag
