2011 Mercedes CL65 AMG
The Mercedes CL65 AMG variants feature a revised grille, modified bumpers and restyled headlights. Other exterior goodies include LED fog lights, AMG exhaust system and 20-inch wheels.
Despite an increase in horsepower and torque as compared to the naturally aspirated V8, AMG engineers have been able to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions considerably with an estimated fuel savings of 27%, engine specialists consider this to be nothing less than a quantum leap. CO2 emissions have likewise been significantly reduced by approximately 30.
The new Mercedes AMG 5.5 litre Bi-Turbo engine combined performance, innovation and efficiency to a previously unknown extent. This is made possible by a unique combination of innovative high-tech systems such as direct gasoline injection, twin turbochargers, air intercooling and the controlled efficiency stop and start function.
Mercedes-AMG is systematically following the trend towards increasing efficiency: with a displacement of 5461 cc it is precisely 747 cc below the 6208 cc of the naturally aspirated AMG 6.3-litre V8 engine.
