The 2005 CL 65 AMG

With its 604 horsepower twin-turbocharged V-12, the CL65 AMG sets theperformance mark as the world's most powerful four-seat coupe.

The new CL 65 AMG from Mercedes-AMG GmbH is the most powerful model the brand has produced since it was established over 35 years ago. The exclusive Gran Turismo is powered by a newly designed 6.0 liter V12 engine whose biturbo technology gives it a level of performance previously unheard of in this engine size class: the twelve-cylinder AMG powerplant has an output of 604 hp and develops its maximum torque of 738 lb-ft between 2000 and 4000 rpm.


These engine data open up a new dimension of performance figures. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and reaches the 124 mph mark in 13.3 seconds. The top speed of 155 mph is electronically limited. The high-performance AMG twelve-cylinder powerplant is also ideally suited for relaxed cruising in high gear. Superbly responsive, yet smooth and refined, it guarantees the high level of touring comfort traditionally associated with Mercedes.

The CL 65 AMG features the distinctive, powerful looks of AMG bodystyling which is standard on the vehicle. The front and rear aprons as well as the side skirts blend harmoniously with the timelessly elegant design of the Mercedes Coupé. The chromed "V12 Biturbo" lettering on the front wings indicates the exceptional dynamic qualities of this vehicle, while the two chrome-finished twin tailpipes of the AMG sports exhaust system add a sporty touch at the rear.

The new V12 engine embodies the expertise which Mercedes-AMG has always brought to the
development of powerful twelve-cylinder cars which set the benchmark for their particular segment. In 1995, the 7.3-litre SL 73 AMG caused a sensation with its output of 386 kW/525 hp; in 1997, the street version of the CLK-GTR with its 450 kW/604 hp 6.9-litre V12 set new standards for super sports cars. In 2001, Mercedes-AMG presented another two exclusive V12 high-end models in the form of the S 63 AMG and the CL 63 AMG (326 kW/444 hp).

I believe that the acutal displacement of the engine in a bored out biturbo 5.5 to 6.5 liters.

 

The 65 engines are a 5.5 litre bored out to 5.9 liters. 5,980-cc to be exact.
