With a design perfected through the greatest sense of style, exclusive appointments and cutting-edge technology, the extensively updated 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL600 2011 reinforces its claim to supremacy as the ultimate in automotive refinement. The entirely redesigned 429 hp. V8 biturbo engine of the CL550 4MATIC and the 536 hp. AMG V8 biturbo of the CL63 AMG open a new dimension of performance in the luxury coupĂ© category. Performance and fuel economy improve thanks to the newly-developed BlueDIRECT technology with third-generation spray-guided direct injection as well as energy-efficient control of alternator, fuel pump, air-conditioning compressor and power-assisted steering system. In addition, the Mercedes- Benz engineers equipped the CL with state-of-the-art multimedia technology and hand-finished components to help retain its position as the epitome of quality in its class. These two new V8 models, as well as the V12-powered CL600 and CL65 AMG go on-sale in the U.S. in November 2010.With the new generation of the CL, the Stuttgart-based automaker focuses on fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions in the exclusive high-end segment. According to Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG: “The CL is the ideal ambassador for our brand. To a special degree it integrates the things that go to make a Mercedes-Benz: fascination, perfection and responsibility. And with the new generation we raise the ante especially in the area of efficiency. But in the realms of design, safety, comfort and performance, too, the CL shows: ahead is where Mercedes is.”
A combination of cutting-edge camera and radar-based assistance systems such as the innovative Active Lane Keeping Assist and the Active Blind Spot Assist make the CL a “thinking” partner of the driver. The modified Active Body Control (ABC) with crosswind stabilization system and the Direct-Steer system also contribute to enhancing safety and driving enjoyment.
The 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL600 howcases cutting-edge technology from Affalterbach. The CL63 AMG features the new 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine with a peak output of 536 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. With the optional AMG Performance Package, the performance increases to 563 hp and 664 lb-ft. The award-winning AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7–speed sports transmission provides a considerable reduction in fuel consumption and emissions while simultaneously increasing maximum power and torque. With improved fuel economy, the new CL63 AMG is more than 25 percent more efficient than the previous model with a naturally aspirated V8. The exclusive V12-powered CL65 AMG now has even more power, with 621 hp and 738 lb-ft.
Mercedes-Benz CL600 marks the start of a new chapter in the “AMG Performance 2015? drive strategy: Mercedes-AMG is continuing this impressive story and is meeting its promise to continuously reduce both the fuel consumption and emissions of new models with the new engine/transmission combination and stop/start technology – while also reaching new heights with the central AMG brand value of “performance”.
Mercedes-Benz CL600, with its 510hp 12-cylinder biturbo engine, accelerates the luxury coupe from a standstill to 60 mph in an impressive 4.5 seconds. The new AMG V8 engine, designated internally as the M 157, also takes full advantage of these innovative new technologies. The new AMG 5.5-liter engine marks the debut of direct gasoline injection with spray-guided combustion and piezo injectors in an AMG. Other highlights include standard Controlled Efficiency stop/start function. The AMG 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine develops a peak output of 536 hp and maximum torque of 590 lb-ft. In conjunction with the optional AMG Performance Package these figures are increased to 563 hp and 664 lb-ft.
The CL63 AMG delivers superior, sports car-level performance. Acceleration from 0-60 mph takes just 4.4 seconds, and has an electronically limited top speed of 155. With the optional AMG Performance Package, 0-60 takes just 4.3 seconds and top speed increases to an electronically limited 186 mph. The V12-powered CL65 AMG produces 621 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque, and achieves a 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds.
The seven-speed automatic transmission Mercedes-Benz CL600 was improved in detail by the Mercedes engineers. The aim was to further reduce converter slip in the connection with the engine and thus optimize efficiency. In addition, the much increased torque of the V8 biturbo engine in the CL550 4MATIC raised new demands on the absorption of cyclic irregularities and vibrations in the transmission. The Mercedes-Benz developers met this challenge in the new transmission with a new torsional vibration damper. It is designed as a double turbo-damper and additionally fitted with a centrifugal pendulum which shifts the mass center of gravity as a function of engine speed and enables comfortable vehicle operation even at lower engine speeds. Moreover, the optimal damping already makes a distinct reduction in the slip of the torque converter lockup clutch at low loads. The result: in ECO mode the engine speed could be reduced, contributing greatly to cut fuel consumption. Plus, it ensures an even quicker response to accelerator commands.
A unique combination of driver-assistance systems
With state-of-the-art assistance and protection systems the Mercedes-Benz CL600 2011 affirms its status as an automotive masterwork and technology platform. The attentive assistants turn the car into an “intelligent” partner which is able to “see”, “feel”, respond “instinctively” to danger and act “on its own initiative” in order to avoid accidents or reduce their severity. The trailblazing driver assistance systems in the 2011 CL-Class are based on cutting-edge radar, camera and sensor technology. Celebrating its premiere on the 2011 CL-Class, the optional Active Lane Keeping Assist (standard on V12 models) monitors lane markings and if the vehicle threatens to cross a dashed line the system actuates an electric motor in the steering wheel, causing it to vibrate briefly – giving the driver a discreet but effective warning to countersteer immediately. If the coupe unintentionally crosses a solid line, the system intervenes by gently braking the wheels of the opposite side of the car, helping the driver to stay in the lane. Active Lane Keeping Assist works through the existing Electronic Stability Program ESP®.
Mercedes-Benz CL600 2011 offers another radar-based system as a component of the optional Driver Assistance Package (standard on V12 models) – PRE-SAFE® Brake. If the driver is distracted and fails to recognize the imminent danger of a rear-end collision, this system can intervene and brake the vehicle independently. If the driver fails to react even after automatic, partial braking action, this latest version of the PRE-SAFE® Brake activates maximum braking pressure around 0.6 seconds before what is now an unavoidable collision. This emergency braking action can significantly mitigate the severity of the impact. The PRE-SAFE® Brake thus acts as a kind of “electronic crumple zone”.
Interior Mercedes-Benz CL600 2011: carefully selected materials and first-class finish
Mercedes-Benz developers and designers perfected the CL interior paying careful attention to detail. A total of four different kinds of trim open up the possibilities for perfectly matched material and color concepts according to personal taste: apart from dark high-gloss burl walnut, there is also black ash wood. Twelve cylinder models additionally offer high-gloss poplar and both AMG models have Carbon Fiber trim available. Important to note – consistent with the corporate philosophy of sustainability at Mercedes-Benz, the CL uses only European wood from renewable forestry sources. Most of the wood parts are hand-made and matched individually for color and grain by experienced craftsmen.
The seats of the CL are of the most exquisite quality, made with low pretensioning they appear supple and comfortable from the very first glance. There is a choice of Premium leathers on the V8 CL550 4MATIC and CL63 AMG. The V12 CL600 and CL65 AMG feature Exclusive leather.
The multifunction steering wheel of the CL has also been modified by the Mercedes-Benz designers: the rim and airbag module are lined with soft premium leather as standard. The new, flatter airbag module also lends a sporty touch to the multifunction steering wheel covered in leather sewn with sophisticated double stitching.
Apart from this, Mercedes-Benz makes more use of light as a styling element in the vehicle interior. Standard ambient lighting offers a choice between three lighting moods: solar (amber), neutral (white) and polar (ice-blue).
Onboard infotainment: the most advanced multimedia technology
Consistent with its serene character and technological masterwork, the 2011 CL also sets the standard where onboard infotainment is concerned. The newest option available is the optional SPLITVIEW technology for the COMAND system. This innovative display allows the driver and front passenger to view different contents simultaneously on the same screen. While the driver, for example, uses the map-based navigation system, the front passenger can watch a movie on DVD.
The standard COMAND control and display system with Bluetooth®, USB and SD card interfaces offers customers the possibility of integrating their stored data with the vehicle. A standard Media Interface for mobile audio and video devices such as an iPod® is integrated into the glove compartment. The standard navigation system features nationwide navigation and a detailed three-dimension map display with data stored on a 40-gigabyte hard disc, facilitating extremely rapid route calculation. For musical entertainment COMAND provides SIRIUS and HD radio, a 6-disc CD/DVD player with MP3 capability, an equalizer with speed-dependent volume control and the MUSIC REGISTER with a 7.2 gigabyte hard disc which stores around 2500 digital music files in MP3, AAC or WMA format (which can be conveniently transferred to the REGISTER from PC memory cards). The system recognizes music files played on CD, DVD or from the MUSIC REGISTER using its stored Gracenote® database, and shows the title, album and performer in the color display.
Standard equipment also includes the latest-generation of Voice Control which operates the navigation, telephone and audio devices via whole-word input. The driver no longer needs to spell out his commands but simply speaks whole words when entering a destination or choosing a radio station or a music title from the MUSIC REGISTER, or when calling up a name from the phone book.
A further increase in active and passive safety
Reliable deceleration performance comes courtesy of the AMG high-performance braking system based on the ADAPTIVE BRAKE system. Internally ventilated, perforated composite brake discs all around, with a diameter of 15.4-inches and 14.4-inches respectively, are combined with double floating brake calipers (front) and sliding frame-type calipers (rear) for maximum deceleration.
To enhance active and passive safety, the range of trend-setting camera and radarbased driver assistance systems has also been extended further. The Mercedes-Benz CL600 2011 now includes Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist as standard equipment.
