2003 CL600. 94k miles. Often forgotten about in favor of the AMG 55’s of various flavors. But with just under 500hp, and 600 lb ft stock, out of a twin turbo V12, they’re pretty damn stout.

Anyway, they can be gotten pretty inexpensively these days. Wife’s birthday was Friday. Took it out for a night on the town. She fell in love with it, so we’re keeping it. Selling her E36 'vert though. She got to work, took one of her co-workers for a ride. Made her scream. Heh.

30 mph, step down hard, tires light up. 60-120 happens right now. I’ll throw software at it at some point, which will put it in the 620/750 range.

Always liked these. Restrained, elegant, and V-12 go.

I’ve played this video 2 dozen times at least. Sadly, different engine though. I’ll likely eliminate the resonators on this one though. Needs a bit of voice.

That sounds like an F1 car going through the tunnel at Monaco. I can only imagine what that exhaust must cost

Nice pickup. Never realized there was a CL600, but that looks really sharp.

Awesome :tup: I browse these and the CL65 AMG’s once in a while on ebay just to see what they’re going for these days. They still hold their own aesthetically IMO for nearly a 13 year old car.

Yeah, the 65s are still silly money, IMO. This car, with 95% depreciation, was a must-have

We have tunes for this if you don’t. We did an 05 SL65 AMG a few months back. Picked up 90WHP and 105WTQ.

These are cheap for how bad ass the driveline is. If you have a girl that wants that kinda jams she is a keeper.

I think it’s actually a CL500 non-vert

Pillarless coupes are fantastic.
