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.

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.

So, to help keep the CL 65 grounded, AMG has equipped it with the latest in electronic driver aids. The reworked 5-speed automatic transmission not only boasts Touch Shift manual controls plus SpeedShift programming, but it’s tied into Mercedes most sophisticated electronic stability system.Which doesn’t slow it down one bit, as the CL 65 rockets to 60 in only 4.0-seconds flat! The quarter mile roars by in 12.4 seconds at 115 miles-per-hour. This is one of the fastest cars that we’ve ever tested. Now, it takes a second for the turbos to spin up, but once they hit maximum boost, the CL 65’s acceleration pins you to the seat until you lift out of simple self preservation.

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.

Inside is a posh but business-like cabin, with its usual combination of Mercedes luxury and efficiency plus sporty AMG upgrades. Safety, too, thanks to an airbag selection that includes head curtain and side impact airbags for all four occupants. The leather AMG sport seats feature 14-way power adjustments, heat, ventilation, and an active lumbar massage system, while the AMG leather-wrapped steering wheel has a power adjustable tilt and telescoping column, along with the manual shift controls.

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.

Daimler could sell off Li-Tec's EV battery business

Sat, May 24 2014

Five-plus years may have been about enough time for Daimler AG to know whether it wanted to be in the battery-pack production business. The Mercedes-Benz parent may stop making electric-vehicle batteries and ultimately sell its Li-Tec battery-cell factory in Germany within two years, according to Bloomberg News which cites Manager Magazin. The beneficiary may be LG Electronics, which would likely take over battery-production duties for models such as Daimler's Smart ED battery-electric vehicle. Daimler is taking a number of steps to improve profit margins, which are thinner than those of its German rivals like BMW. Like its German competition, the company has lagged behind companies such as Nissan, Renault and Tesla Motors in terms of aggressively pursuing growth via plug-in vehicle sales. Daimler spokesman Hendrik Sackmann, in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen, would only say that the battery business is growing "rapidly" and that Li-Tec is developing "according to our plans." "Regarding Li-Tec, we are working on a concept for the future line-up," he added. "The battery cells for the successor of the Smart electric drive won't be provided by Li-Tec." Daimler in 2008 launched Li-Tec as a joint venture with Evonik, though Daimler recently put plans together to buy out Evonik's 50-percent share of Li-Tec, Bloomberg reported last month. Evonik's role was manufacturing electrodes and separators for batteries. Daimler also said last fall that it was looking to cooperate more extensively with Tesla in regards to electric vehicle development. The two companies first said they'd work together in 2009.

Weekly Recap: Mercedes, Volkswagen spend big as import automakers invest in North America

Sat, Mar 14 2015

Import automakers are on a building frenzy in North America as resurgent car sales have prompted companies to expand their manufacturing footprints to meet rising demand. That was evidenced this week when Mercedes-Benz announced plans to build a $500-million factory to produce the Sprinter commercial van, and Volkswagen confirmed a whopping $1-billion investment to expand its massive plant in Mexico. Meanwhile Jaguar Land Rover reportedly wants to build a factory in North America, but not for at least three years, and Hyundai is said to be expanding in the southern United States. The common thread in all of this expansion? Trucks, time and money. Mercedes wants to capitalize on the burgeoning work van segment in the United States and will break ground in 2016 on a 200-acre site in Charleston, SC, to build the next-generation Sprinter. The site will have a paint shop, body shop and an assembly line, and 1,300 people will be employed when production ramps up. Why do this, when Mercedes has immense van operations in Germany? It's cheaper to build in the US for the US market. Building locally allows Mercedes to avoid import taxes, forego a complex shipping process that involves partially disassembling German-built Sprinters and naturally, reduces the time it takes to deliver finished trucks to their buyers. "This plant is key to our future growth in the very dynamic North American van market," Volker Mornhinweg, head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, said in a statement. He was speaking about Mercedes and vans, but another German automotive giant, Volkswagen, had similar motives for its mammoth expansion plans in Puebla, Mexico. The added space and production capacity will allow VW to build a three-row version of the Tiguan, and provide another crossover for its US lineup that's light on SUVs. The current Tiguan has two rows. The factory will be able to churn out 500 units daily of the larger variant, and they will be sold in North and South America. It will arrive in the US in mid-2017, a spokesman told Autoblog. VW also plans to build another crossover, a midsize seven-passenger vehicle, at its growing Chattanooga, TN, site. "Localization has become key to safeguarding our competitive position on the global market, and manufacturing the Tiguan in Mexico will bring production closer to the US market," Michael Horn, CEO of Volkswagen Group of America, said in a statement.
