In the Nineties and Two Thousands, Mercedes-Benz was on a range-plugging frenzy. It wasn’t unusual to be faced with nearly twenty model line-ups, when you factor in the differing body styles such as coupes, convertibles, sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, and sports cars, and that’s before you go into engine and transmission spec choices! This 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is from that era of choice, and it’s the last of the CL-Class before it would become known as the S-Class Coupe thereafter. A Grand Tourer and Personal Luxury Car, the CL-Class ran over three generations between 1992 and 2014, and was in essence a two-door S-Class. This car bears just 95,000 miles, and is of the most potent AMG variant you could buy at the time.
This 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is from the facelift of the third generation, that saw things improve, bringing bi-xenon headlamps, a new grille, revised fenders, revised hood, and redesigned exhaust pipes to the table. Presenting itself in a straight black paintwork with the AMG styling package, it looks menacing in some ways, and yet approachable. The AMG badges, as well as the V12 Biturbo ones on the side flanks tell onlookers that it packs serious firepower, which we will get to in the engine section. Step aboard into the luxuriously appointed cabin that sports exclusive leather trim, and it’s more black. The dynamic front seats offer electric adjustment with memory, heating, and ventilation, and you’ve got the Driving Package, Active Blind Spot Assistance, and rear view camera as some of the tech toys, alongside the requisite dual-zone climate control, infotainment system and Harman/Kardon sound system. AMG-branded door sills and floor mats are present too, as is a V12 badge in the center console to remind everyone of the powerplant beneath the long hood, in case the 220mph speedometer isn’t enough of a hint.
We’ve already said that this 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG wears a V12 beneath its black suit, and what a V12 it is. The last of Mercedes-Benz’ swansong engines, the M275 AMG 6.0L V12 is backed by twin turbochargers, helping it to put out 621hp and 738lb-ft, figures that are utterly impressive in 2022, and must have been mind-boggling in 2011! The gearbox may seem a little dated, being a 5-speed automatic unit but there’s good reason for that, namely that Mercedes-Benz’ 7-speed box at the time was simply unable to cope with such power and torque! Zero to sixty is a 4.1 second affair, and top speed limited to 155mph, but one can easily imagine it cracking the magical 200mph barrier unfettered.

What was the finest full-size luxury car that one could buy in the '80s? Many would say that it was the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class. Produced between 1979 and 1991 as a sedan and wagon, the W126 is considered to be the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz in the 20th century. It’s no surprise that many discerning petrolheads would relish the chance to own and drive a W126 – because it’s a car that’s meant to be driven and enjoyed, not secreted away in a climate-controlled storage facility. So, we’re proud to make one lucky petrolhead’s dream come true, with this 96,000-mile 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL up for sale right now. Act fast, because W126s don’t hang around, and particularly not when they’re in great condition like this one.
The 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL Sedan is from the second generation of the legendary Mercedes-Benz S-Class line. The W126 is so far the most successful and the longest in production generation of the iconic S-Class. The W126 project was led by Mercedes-Benz Chief designer Bruno Sacco who aimed to make the new S-Class more aerodynamic, efficient and retain the unmistakable design elements that makes the S-Class an S-Class. The weight was significantly cut down by extensive use of high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) sheets and polyurethane deformable material for the bumpers and side claddings. Lighter alloy material was used for the heavily revised 5.6-liter M117 V8 engine that this Mercedes-Benz 560SEL houses. It is also the biggest engine that you could have had with a W126 S-Class. Our featured car has a total of 80,000 miles on the odometer. We’re told this particular model has been treated to new parts and has had the front end completely rebuilt as reported by the current owner.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class was born as a sports car with no intention of developing into a street version. Two years later, a street-legal version was proposed for wealthy performance car enthusiasts, as the personal luxury car market was thriving at the time. A few decades later, the famed German automaker Mercedes-Benz commemorated the 60th anniversary of a memorable motor racing success. An extraordinary special model of the SL Roadster was unveiled to celebrate this milestone, and it was dubbed the "Mille Miglia," referring to the unexpected victory of a 300 SL in the production sports cars class in 1955. This example is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 Special Edition Mille Miglia 417 with 30,150 miles on its clock. This is your chance to experience the unique symbiosis of maximum comfort and motor-racing spirit that traditionally characterizes every SL.
