C215 Mercedes-Benz CL 600 the last coupe S-class by Bruno Sacco, 2003

In autumn 2002, Mercedes‑Benz unveiled a face-lifted version of the Series C 215 CL-Class featuring revised body styling, an upgraded interior and the latest state-of-the-art technology. The CL 600 was given a newly developed 12-cylinder bi-turbo powerplant. This 368 kW (500 hp) engine brought the CL-Class into the performance class of the super sports car. The V12 powerplant delivered a peak torque of 800 Newton-metres at 1 bar boost pressure from an engine speed of 1800 rpm. The state-of-the-art 5.5-litre engine was thus superior to the previous 12-cylinder unit by around 36 per cent on power and by even 51 per cent on torque. The CL 600 accelerated from rest to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds (predecessor: 6.1 seconds). The top speed was electronically limited to 250 km/h. #oldbenz source: gieldaklasykow.pl
