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.

Brabus to storm Geneva with 800-hp version of Mercedes SL65 AMG

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

At no point during our recent drive of the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG did we ever think, "You know, this thing sure is slow." After all, Merc's range-topping SL comes fitted with a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 capable of sending 621 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. But just in case you're still all "meh" about what the SL65 throws down, Brabus will gladly come to your rescue with this, the 800 Roadster.
As its name suggests, the 800 Roadster ups the V12's power figures to 800 horsepower and - wait for it - 1,047 pound-feet of torque. Don't get too excited, though - that torque number has been electronically limited to a measly 811 lb-ft since, you know, the transmission would probably explode if you tried to put the full force through it. Nevertheless, these represent increases of 79 hp and 73 lb-ft over the standard SL65, and that means the 800 Roadster can shoot to 62 miles per hour in just 3.7 seconds - two-tenths of a second quicker than the Merc its based on. More impressively, hitting 124 mph takes just under 10 seconds, and the droptop will finally top out at an electronically limited - limited! - 217 mph. Holy smokes.
To manage all of that speed, Brabus has engineered a special carbon fiber aero kit that reduces lift, and a unique control module for the SL65's active body control suspension lowers the ride height by one full inch. The 800 Roadster rides on new 20-inch wheels, and a unique limited-slip rear differential was added, featuring a 40 percent locking rate that further enhances performance when you're attempting to control the beast at its limits. Interior upgrades include new leather and alcantara surfaces throughout the cabin, including a leather-clad trunk.

Mercedes-Benz USA considering moving south

Wed, Dec 17 2014

Mercedes-Benz may be a German automaker first and foremost, but it's a global operation. Among its many offices around the world, the company employs some 800 staffers at its US headquarters in New Jersey. But that office could be moving down South in the near future. According to reports in the Atlanta Business Chronicle, the Wall Street Journal and Automotive News, Mercedes is looking into relocating its American head office from Montvale, NJ, where it's been based since 1972, to one of several locations under consideration below the Mason-Dixon line. Among the front-runners is Atlanta, where Porsche bases its North American operations. The presence of a trained workforce, necessary infrastructure, compliant officials and proximity to a major hub for international air traffic could make the Georgian metropolis an attractive proposition for Mercedes. Several locations in North Carolina are also said to be under consideration, as well. Either way, MBUSA's relocation to the South would put it closer to its assembly plant in Tuscaloosa, AL, and to the Port of Brunswick near Savannah from which it ships out those vehicles made in Alabama to points overseas. The relocation project is reportedly being handled by commercial real-estate firm JLL Inc, which is helping Toyota handle its relocation from southern California and Ohio to Texas. Sources don't expect, however, for New Jersey to let Mercedes go without a fight. The state's Grow NJ Assistance Program could offer MBUSA an attractive incentives package to stay in Montvale. The company previously planned in 1998 to relocate to Pearl River, NY, but ultimately ended up staying in Jersey.

2015 Chinese Grand Prix shines bright sun on the dark days of racing

Sun, Apr 12 2015

Yes, we tuned into the Formula One Grand Prix in Shanghai China to see a race. But we all know we really tuned in to see if Ferrari, or any other team, could make it a competitive race with Mercedes-AMG Petronas. Based on qualifying, things didn't get off the best of starts: Lewis Hamilton made it four-out-of-four at the front, leading all three Free Practice sessions and then taking pole position in his Mercedes. Nico Rosberg is making the most of his time in the simulator, getting closer to Hamilton as the months go by. This time he lined up in second, just 0.042 in arrears. Ferrari did its best to temper expectations after Malaysia. Even though Sebastian Vettel qualified in third, almost a second behind Hamilton, the Scuderia's race pace is still considered a danger. Kimi Raikkonen's final hot lap went sour in Turn 3 and dropped the Finn to sixth place on the grid. In between the Ferraris, Williams is another team desperately working to maintain its advantage, and both of its drivers capitalized on Raikkonen's misfortune. Felipe Massa took fourth, Valtteri Bottas was in fifth. Daniel Ricciardo led the Infiniti Red Bull Racing charge in seventh, ahead of Romain Grosjean in the Lotus earning a spirits-lifting eighth. The two Saubers continue to show how good the Ferrari engine is, with Felipe Nasr taking ninth position and teammate Marcus Ericsson in tenth. Yet when the lights went out, so did the racing, for the most part. At the end of the first lap, because of some excellent moves by Raikkonen on both Williams' and a terrible start by Ricciardo that dropped him to seventeenth, the order was Hamilton, Rosberg, Vettel, Raikkonen, Massa, Bottas, Grosjean, Nasr, Ericsson, and Pastor Maldonado in the Lotus rounding out the top ten. At the end of the race, the only positions that had changed were the final two: Ricciardo had a laps-long battle with Ericsson, passing, getting repassed, then passing again to take ninth for good, with Ericsson finishing tenth. Maldonado suffered the worst in a battle with Jenson Button in the McLaren, when Button misjudged the entry into Turn 1 for a pass and clouted the back of the Lotus. Button was able to finish but Maldonado had to retire. Yes, there were some decent moments in between, like Bottas getting by Massa at the start, then Raikkonen getting past Massa in the first few corners and the Finn's move on Bottas also letting Massa through.
