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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.
Mercedes-Benz created the CL-Class to represent the pinnacle of grand touring luxury, and this 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL 65 AMG Coupe sits firmly at the top of that hierarchy. Showing approximately 60,196 miles, this flagship AMG combines handcrafted V12 power with cutting-edge technology and exceptional comfort, delivering an experience that few coupes of its era could rival. Finished in a timeless black-on-black specification and equipped with sought-after features including Distronic Plus Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Assist, Night View Assist, Dynamic Multi-Contour Seats, and a premium sound system, this CL 65 AMG remains one of the most exclusive and technologically advanced Mercedes-Benz models of the late 2000s. With its twin-turbocharged V12 and limited production numbers, it continues to be regarded as one of AMG’s greatest grand touring machines.

This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL captures the elegant grand-touring character that made the R107 one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring roadsters. Showing approximately 112,669 miles, this European-specification example pairs its 2.8L naturally aspirated M110 inline-six with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Champagne Metallic over a Brazil leather interior, it also features both a brown convertible soft top and a removable body-colored hardtop, giving it genuine year-round versatility. European-market headlights and bumpers, classic 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels, and period-correct cabin details give this 280 SL the unmistakable look and feel of an early-1980s Mercedes roadster.
The Mercedes-Benz W113 SL is one of those designs that needs very little introduction, and the 230 SL is where the celebrated “Pagoda” story began. This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Roadster shows approximately 28,430 miles and combines elegant open-top styling with the mechanical character enthusiasts expect from an early W113: a fuel-injected 2.3L inline-six, 4-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and fully independent suspension. Finished in dark blue over a tan interior with a white convertible soft top, it has the classic proportions, restrained chrome detailing, and driver-focused simplicity that make these cars so enduring. Upgraded Focal speakers add a subtle modern touch without taking away from the car’s unmistakably period atmosphere.
