About the Mercedes-AMG CL 63 C216
Introduced for the 2011 model year facelift, this version of the C216 CL 63 replaced the high-revving 6.2L naturally aspirated V8 with the M157 5.5L biturbo unit. The shift brought a massive increase in torque and improved efficiency, paired with the faster-shifting MCT 7-speed transmission. As a pillarless grand tourer based on the S-Class, it offers a unique blend of serene cruising and brutal acceleration. It remains a pinnacle of Mercedes-AMG's 'iron fist in a velvet glove' philosophy, though maintenance of the complex Active Body Control (ABC) suspension is a key consideration for collectors.
