One of the local dealers told me that their electronics parts catalog now shows a new model under the CL, the CL55 Kompressor AMG - interestingly it doesnt show a S55 Kompressor AMG

(it also shows the SL370)

Richard, same supercharged engine in S55 for 2003 as CL55. That SL370 is probably going to be SL350 along with S350 (German Specs):

These are real pics. I don´t understand what you mean. It´s the same pics that you post but instead of the CL it shows the S. These are from a brochure.

i got my hands on a brand-new CL-brochure about the face-lift coming this octobre.

the CL 55 AMG will have the same engine as the SL 55 AMG the 5.5litre V8 kompressor with 500hp and 700nm torque.

the CL 600 is coming with the new 12-cylinder from the "Maybach" a V12 Bi-turbo with also 500hp but 800nm torque

the interior changed a bit, the new DVD-based COMAND system is avalible and the CL is getting the superior SBC brake-system from the SL

btw. today i saw the "power-curve" of CL600, absolutely awsome. this baby produces the 800nm torque from 1800-3500rpm, must be a blast to drive !!

Sounds great Felix.... Thanks for the info !

Since the face lift is this October, would that still be a 2003 model ? Or will they push it to a late 2003 intro ?
