The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the Star’s top-shelf offering in the large luxury sedan segment. There are few cars that are more pleasurable and comforting to be driven in. However, what if you want a large two-door grand tourer with all the accoutrements of an S-Class, but for you to drive? Currently, there’s the S-Class Coupe. Pre-2014, there was the CL-Class. Standing for ‘Coupe Leicht’, the CL-Class ran between 1992 and 2014 over three generations. This 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG is the last of the era, hailing from the facelift of the third generation. Coming to you from North Carolina, it’s done just 21,500 miles, and has three years remaining on its extended four-year CPO warranty.

Exterior and Interior

2011 saw the third-generation CL-Class receive a facelift, with some interior and exterior changes. This 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG echoes all those changes in its sinister black paintwork with matching 21-inch black alloys that are shod in new tires that reportedly have less than 1,000 miles on them. Being a garage-kept car, its condition is said to be immaculate. A quartet of prominent exhausts round back tell you that it packs serious performance, if the CL63 and AMG badging isn’t enough of a giveaway. The interior is also in black, with wood trim and seats four occupants. As the coupe version of the S-Class, you’ll find every conceivable luxury, including electrically adjustable heated and ventilated front seats with memory, dual-zone climate control, Harman/Kardon speaker system, infotainment system with Bluetooth and phone integration, analog clock in the center console, metal sport pedals, wood, and leather steering wheel and much more. The speedometer runs all the way to 200mph, another indicator that this car is packing some serious firepower under the hood. To keep you safe, there’s a host of safety gear, including Active Blind Spot Assist, Attention Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Traffic Sign Assist, DISTRONIC Plus and more.

Engine

The third-generation CL-class came with a variety of gasoline engine offerings, and this 2012 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG, whilst not the most madcap variant, does come with some serious firepower under the hood. The 5.5L BiTurbo V8 puts out 537hp and 590lb-ft to the rear wheels via an AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed automatic transmission. Zero to sixty can be achieved in just 4.6 seconds, and goes on to hit a top speed limited at 180mph.
