AMG CL65

Post by LittleSkull » Thu May 29, 2003 2:05 pm

Mercedes AMG CL65 = V12 Biturbo / 612hp / 1000nm at 2000rpm. And i thought the SL55 was fast. This car is not going to have any rivals. Wonder if the engine fits in the [img]images/graemlins/rs4-button.jpg[/img]

The weight difference will help the GT to 100km/h (by little), but to 200 and 300 i doubt it (1000 nm and twin turbos is the secret to this incredible acceleration).

Yeah, that thing could torque the back-end of JR [img]images/graemlins/icon_lol.gif[/img], but aerodynamics play a big part at those speeds - I think that's where the Carrera GT will outclass the Merc (oh, and in the handling department)

Nice car but think about the depreciation, my MD had one of the V12 S600 Coupe's bought new for about £100k sold 3 years later for £18k, there is no second market for a 2 door gas guzzler can't even be used as an upmarket taxi, buyers beware! [img]images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

if you think the cl65 amg is fast, also the sl65 amg will be very fast. top speed is estimated at 335 km/h without speed limiter.

Hold onto your wallets till 2004.

The 7 speed auto will be fitted, and this will allow Merc to remove the engine restrictors that are currently in place to protect the 'box.

Over 700hp is promised from the engine then [img]images/graemlins/biggrin2.gif[/img]

Wrong question mate.

How about this one instead? : "wonder how good it will be at getting past whole lines of slow moving, tailgating traffic that are stuck behind yet another asthmatic lorry on a crap, congested British "A" road?" [img]images/graemlins/boots.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

Not that I will be purchasing!
