The 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is a new model in AMG's lineup. Power for the new car comes from a AMG 6.0-liter V12 biturbo engine taken from the S65 AMG and SL65 AMG twelve-cylinder models. Its maximum output of 612 bhp and maximum torque of 738 lb-ft allow the CL65 AMG to hit 62 mph in 4.4 seconds and reach 155 mph (electronically limited).

The characteristic AMG twelve-cylinder sound is ensured by fitting the CL65 AMG with a sports exhaust system with two twin chromed V12-design tailpipes. catalytic converters with tri-metallic coating provide a faster response from a cold start, more efficient exhaust-gas aftertreatment and a longer service life.

The drive power of the new CL65 AMG is transmitted to the wheels by the AMG Speedshipt five-speed automatic transmission with AMG steering-wheel gearshift paddles and Direct Select gearshift. An "S/C/M" mode button in the center console allows the driver to choose between the "Sport", "Comfort" and "Manual" driving programs.

Aerodynamic enhancements made to the Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG include large air intakes, side air outlets and round fog lamps with chrome surrounds which dominate the front, as do the special AMG radiator grille with two horizontal chrome louvers and the darkened bi-xenon headlamps. Distinctive side skirts and "V12 BITURBO" lettering enhance the sides while the two twin chromed V12-design tailpipes and the muscular rear apron with its black diffuser insert make the rear of the vehicle particularly eye-catching.
