2005 Mercedes CL65 AMG Parktronic Keyless Go 3M 6.0L V12 BiTurbo 36V MINT No Reserve This CL65 AMG is in immaculate condition inside and out. Everything functions on the car as intended. It needs nothing mechanically or cosmetically. The paint is bright and shiny and has had no incidents or accidents, this car has 0 paintwork. The front end has been protected from rock chips by a clear 3M bra since new. The interior is in excellent condition. The leather is soft and supple, the AMG carpets are immaculate as they have been protected by rubber mats as pictured. The hand stitched leather dash is perfect. Sit inside and you would think its a new car on the showroom floor. The car is completely sound mechanically and is an absolute rocket ship. Motor Oil was religiously changed every 5,000 miles, Hydraulic fluid flushed every 20,000 miles etc. The car has been meticulously maintained since new and has records to prove so. The car needs nothing at all. The car is stock mechanically and cosmetically with exception of the carbon fiber rear trunk lip and the SL63 style grill (the grill looks fantastic in person). The CL65 AMG is Mercedes' flagship model thus you can imagine this car is extremely optioned out. On top of the 'standard' options this car has value adding options from the factory including Parktronic (Parking sensors) and Keyless Go (Push button start and keyless entry and exit). Walk up to the car and the CL65 recognizes its owner presence and unlocks itself as you reach for the drivers handle or the trunk button. Get inside, push the brake and touch the button on the gearshift and the V12 roars to life, the key is still untouched in your pocket. Get out and touch a button on the door handle and the car locks itself, again while your key is still untouched in your pocket. The trunk opens and closes with a push of a button. The doors vacuum seal thus you can shut them very softly and they will pull themselves closed. The car's pillarless window design is phenomenal, this car is truly one of a kind. The car's factory 19" AMG staggered wheels are in very good shape and are my personal favorite wheels of any Mercedes model. It is in my opinion a crime to remove these wheels for an aftermarket set, as no aftermarket set will ever match the sleek style and class of these AMG wheels. These wheels were only put on 65 AMG cars thus are quite exclusive. Power comes from its hand built 6.0L BiTurbo V12 boasting 604HP and 738 ft-lb torque from the factory! This power means business judging by the cars 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and a quarter mile in 12.4 seconds at 115 mph. The monstrous motor is handsigned by the AMG genius who hand built it start to finish. These factory power numbers send other 'competitors' into hiding. Most exotics can't match that horsepower let alone 'M cars' and most heavy duty diesel trucks have a hard time keeping up with the CL65's torque numbers! The power is delivered extremely smoothly no matter your driving habits. If another 600HP vehicle pulls up to you at the stoplight, rest assured, he won't be getting a massage like you are. The Nappa leather seats not only have a massage feature but also have adjustable side bolsters, lumbar support and the sides of the bottom of the seats have the ability to blow up and deflate to better hug your body into the seat. The seats are also heated and air conditioned. You have 2 levels of adjustment for the heated seats and 3 levels of adjustment for the A/C seats. You can change driving modes between Sport, Comfort and Manual, but you better be ready for the differences! From Comfort to Sport you will experience two different animals. This car is an absolute pleasure to drive. The cabin is very quiet with the CL's two pane windows. Going down the road the CL handles like it is on rails with no body roll around turns thanks to its hydraulic suspension system. Push the ABC Sport button and you transform the way the car handles the road. Push another button and you can raise or lower the car between 3 different height settings (comes in very handy around parking blocks). You will be hard pressed to feel a bump in this car, it is an absolute dream to command! You will be extremely hard pressed to find a quieter, smoother, more powerful executive coupe. This CL65 is everything you could want and more. GPS works flawlessly and displays both on head unit and in your dash cluster. The sound system is of amazing quality and has a 6CD changer. Also has bluetooth and satellite radio capabilities. Tire pressures are displayed to you digitally in the dash and it will alert you if one gets low on pressure. Front tires are like new with less than 1,000 miles, Yokohoma YK580 245/40/19 (I like the YK580's ride up front better than SuperSports, PS2's etc). Rear tires are Michelin Pilot SuperSports with 50% life. All tires have lifetime transferable replacement warranty through Discount Tire. This is very handy for peace of mind. If they wear improperly you can prorate a new set. If you get a nail they will fix for free or give you option of replacement etc etc. The car comes with its books, original spare, tools etc. Car is also advertised locally, Seller reserves right to end auction early if sold. Call Dieter with any questions: 614-256-5558 Don't believe me? See what MotorWeek had to say: How much horsepower is too much? Well, if you’re a serious performance fan, there’s no such thing. And that’s certainly how the engineers at Mercedes’ in-house tuner AMG think This time they’ve whipped up a hot rod version of Mercedes’ big CL-Class coupe, the CL65 AMG. It has the kind of horsepower that AMG fans will love - 604 to be precise - and even more torque. Have the wrench wizards at AMG finally gone too far? So how does the average driver control the 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG, and its 604 wild Teutonic ponies, all straining to slip free of their bridles and run free? Well, first, you grab the wheel of this big coupe and hold on tight! After all, this herd of wild stallions bursts out of AMG’s award-winning 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine. Its 604 horsepower is backed up by a maximum torque rating of 738 pound-feet. That’s more torque than even the brawniest heavy-duty pickups, and it’s delivered at only 2,000 rpm. Still, even with conviction, having under hood the most powerful engine yet from AMG could still be a recipe for disaster for drivers that don’t have the training or skill to control it.
Whether you’re on the straights or in the corners, the amazing stability system neutralizes speed-robbing, and trouser-soiling, wheel-spin and keeps the CL 65 glued to the road. And better able to exploit the astounding handling delivered by its multi-link electro-hydraulic suspension, egged on by the suction of 19-inch ultra-low profile high performance tires, 245/40s in the front, and 275/35s in the rear. All told, balance is close to perfect, and body roll nonexistent. It’s a remarkable display of automotive agility, especially for a 4,654 pound car. After the handling display, braking performance was a slight letdown. With lightweight two-piece cast iron/aluminum front hubs and rotors, complete with 8-piston calipers, and 4-piston calipers in the rear, certain stops were not an issue. But our average distance from 60 of 127 feet was not exceptionally short, and there was noticeable front end shimmy and very soft pedal feel. No complaints, however, during daily driving, as the CL 65 displays impeccable road manners, and a firm but never choppy ride. All while the optional Distronic radar cruise control did an impressive job of adapting instantly to changing traffic conditions and kept us from running up on the car in front. Impeccable also describes the CL 65’s style. To the CL’s already slick long-nose exterior AMG adds subtle enhancements including new front facia with larger cooling ducts, integrated fog lamps, sculpted side-skirts, bright “V12 Biturbo” badging, and a pair of twin pipe exhausts.
Standard CL 65 amenities include a high power CD/Weatherband stereo, DVD navigation, and dual-zone automatic climate controls. The rear seat is big by coupe standards, though passengers over 6-feet in height will have to squeeze in. A power rear window sunshade helps maintain both temperature and privacy. And cargo space is a coupe-generous 12.3 cubic feet. Easily enough for a long weekend’s load of luggage. While we doubt anyone who can afford the biturbo CL65 AMG will be concerned about economy, for the record EPA mileage ratings are 12 city/19 highway. We averaged an SUV-like 16 miles-per-gallon. The Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is an excessive car, and it comes with an excessive price: $179,820. Anyone who says horsepower is cheap has never driven an AMG. Indeed the 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL 65 AMG is all about excess, especially in the areas of power and performance. But like all AMG vehicles, the CL65 is also about reaching for that pinnacle of automotive engineering, taking already impressive road cars and stretching their abilities to the limits. Fortunately, even with the CL65 AMG those limits have not yet been reached, but we know they will keep on trying.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

Carlsson turns Mercedes-Benz SLK into 610-HP hill-climb clawer
Mon, 28 Jan 2013Carlsson's race-tuned versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK have been taking checkered flags for years, and we won't be surprised if its SLK 340 hill climber fares any different. Developed by multiple German and Swiss hill climb champion Reto Meisel, the carbon-bodied SLK 340 with lightweight brakes and a closed underbody weighs 1,716 pounds. Propelling that tiny bit of weight is a 3.4-liter V8 from Judd with 610 horsepower, and it rolls on 18-inch wheels shod in Avon tires.
It will debut at the Geneva Motor Show before beginning its racing campaigns in the summer. This one won't just tear up roads in Europe, though - Meisel says he plans on bringing it to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. The press release below has more details.
2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe
Wed, Dec 17 2014Conventional wisdom would dictate that adding more power and several key performance enhancements to an already very good car, like the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S550 Coupe, will end up equaling an even better car. In the case of the 2015 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe, conventional wisdom sort of applies, but perhaps not as much as we'd have initially guessed. We'll get into the nitty gritty details in just a moment, but here's the most immediate takeaway we had in our minds as we walked away from this super coupe: The S63 AMG is excellent, but so is the slightly more mundane S550 Coupe on which it is based, and which is priced some $41,000 less expensive than its more powerful sibling. Chew on those figures while we examine what differentiates the two S-Class Coupes. Drive Notes As expected, the single greatest highlight of the 2015 S63 Coupe is its engine. As a powerplant, it's a gem. As a hand-built engineering exercise, its 577 horsepower and 664 pound-feet of torque are just as impressive in real life as they sound when recited from stat sheets. Not that the old CL63 AMG was lacking in power, but the new S63 AMG Coupe boasts 41 more horses and 74 more lb-ft than the outgoing engine. The run to 60 miles per hour takes a scant 3.9 seconds, according to M-B, aided in no small part by the car's 4Matic all-wheel-drive system and other assorted electronic brains deciding where, exactly, all those ponies should be sent. The rear-biased system is tuned to send two-thirds of the engine's power to the rear wheels in a bid to make the car feel more like what performance-minded drivers expect. Top speed is electronically limited to 186 miles per hour, which is plenty fast enough, even in the days of 200-plus-mph sedans from M-B's former corporate cousin Dodge. We didn't get anywhere near the car's maximum velocity, but our brief trips into triple-digit territory were quiet, comfortable and completely free of drama. The seven-speed automatic gearbox responds quickly to requests of your right foot, but the steering wheel-mounted paddles don't change gears as quickly as we'd like when in Manual mode. Controlled Efficiency (which we'd call Comfort) maximizes efficiency, keeping the transmission in higher gears and shifting earlier than when in Sport mode, and we didn't find much fault with the computer's shifting algorithms in either setting.
