A new CL-Class coupe will issue forth from the Mercedes stable in time for the 2007 model year. Mercedes-Benz says the new coupe will come in two flavors: the CL550 uses a 5.5-liter V-8 with 382 hp to zip to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, while the CL600 straps twin turbos to the same engine for 510 hp and 612 lb-ft of torque. The CL600 drops 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. Both versions are limited to 130 mph. The CL550 uses the Benz seven-speed automatic, while the 600 gets a five-speed automatic that can handle its torque. Overall length is just under 200 inches, while the CL rides on a 116.3-inch wheelbase. A raft of electronics is standard, from anti-lock brakes to an electronically controlled suspension. Inside the CLs get aluminum and metallic trim to coordinate with a choice of walnut, ashwood or poplar trim. The new coupes will replace the current CL, which has been on the market since 1999 with 46,800 copies built as of May.
