The 5.5 V12 uses a pair of small of KKK turbochargers. The reason is because smaller turbochargers spool up much quicker and coupled to a high displacement engine, give tremendous torque at low engine speeds.

We're both right, and we're both wrong
CL500 = 5.0L
CL600 = 5.5L
CL55 = 5.5L
CL65 = 6.0L

Congratulations on confusing everybody!
Once more, and for the last time:
600's = 5513cc = 5.5 V12 Twin Turbo
55 AMG's = 5439cc= 5.4L Supercharged and N/A (Technically correct but also called 5.5)
65 AMG's = 5980cc = 6.0L Twin Turbo
No more debates regarding this!
