This latest 2007 Mercedes-Benz
CL63 AMG, which made its debut
at the Paris motor show the day
before our drive, is the seventh
car (ML, CLK, E, CLS, R & S) —
to use the 6.2-liter (6208-cc)
V8 that is the standard form of
AMG motivation these days. In
the CL’s case, the all-aluminum
creation cranks out 518 hp at
6800 rpm & 465 lb-ft of torque
at 5200 revs. The engine is
strong, with a 0-to-62-mph run
taking just 4.6 seconds, pulling
like a freight train up to 100
mph. While this is no surprise,
what is impressive in this
naturally aspirated beast is its
ability to continue to pull up
to the car’s electronically
limited 155 mph. If you want to
go faster, you can order the
optional performance package
that raises the 2007
Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG's limit
to 186 mph.
