Sure, but how much more will the CL65 cost than the CL63? Is the 65 worth $40k-$50k more than the 63? I guess it depends on how much money one has. To me the extra money would be better spent elsewhere.

WOW
, that is a heck of a premium.Most people who end up buying this car will only buy it because it will be made in VERY limited numbers. I am sure I will see one very soon here in NB.
I wish someone would make a Carbon Fiber rear air diffuser for the CLS. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

depreciation on the 65's is huge, especially here in england.Brand new they cost £145,000, now a 2 year old car will fetch £80,000. I dont think its worth the premium, i will probably try to source a carbon rear diffuser for my CL 63..

johnsamonas, will u put a S/C on your CL63 to up the power?
I know Kleemann/Renntech/Carlsson/MKB are all working on a supercharger kit for the 63 engines, do you think you'll want to put one on your CL 63?
The power would be unbelievable. The power could very well be over 700 HP with headers and ECU, which would then make it quite faster than even the all-new CL 65.
Sounds interesting to say the least

part of the reason that then 65's have had the huge depreciation is that the engine was put into cars (except the SL) at the VERY end of the the body's life cycle. BUt the depreciation on any mercedes v12 has been huge. oops i have one

Im not sure yet. I have sold my Kleemann SL now, so the CL63 will feel a lot slower, but i think that the kleemann stage 4 tuning was a bit extreme overall. At first i will get headers (maybe an extra 40-50 BHP) and then i will see.I certainly wont be getting the full exhaust sysyem again because frankly it was too loud!! I prefer something a bit more subtle...
