Mercedes - CL 600 - Brochure - 2010 - 2010

2011 CL-Class Limited only in number. Liberating in every way. What drives us to gather the most time -honored traditions of motoring and set them free? For 125 years, we’ve had two fundamental motivations: the passionate desire to travel in ways that only existed in the imagination — and the ingenuity to make these dreams real. Ever since inventing the first car, the engineers of Mercedes -Benz have been reimagining not just what sets the world in motion, but what stimulates our emotion. “The best or nothing.” This was the mantra of Gottlieb Daimler, and it remains the driving force of Mercedes -Benz today. It is why the most exacting engineering, exhaustive testing, painstaking craftsmanship and precise interweaving of every aspect of performance come together to form such an uninhibited result: the 2011 CL‑Class. Its freshly resculpted body achieves extraordinary rigidity without the visible encumbrance of a center roof pillar — to engender a panoramic sense of freedom befitting a true coupe. Its new twin-turbo V‑8 unleashes appreciable swells in power, torque and visceral response — yet it consumes less fuel and leaves behind fewer emissions. Its innovative chassis systems harness the forces of nature with unbending confidence and unparalleled grace. And its advanced technology engages the driver and car in a seamless, intimate bond. Every detail of the CL‑Class has been thoughtfully deliberated, to make the fortunate few who will call it their own feel thoroughly liberated. Introducing the redesigned 2011 CL-Class. For more information, please visit MBUSA.com/CL-Class CL 550 shown on covers with Black paint, and optional Driver Assistance and Sport Packages. CL 550 shown above with Flint Grey metallic paint and optional 19" multispoke wheels. Squeezes air. Pinches fuel. Hugs corners. Embraces change. A new era of power. For decades, the coupes of Mercedes -Benz have reignited driving passion with dramatic breakthroughs in performance — from fuel injection in the 1950s to the Electronic Stability Program (ESP ®) in the 1990s. For 2011, a new generation of leaner, meaner and cleaner engines debuts with the CL 550’s 429‑hp 4.6‑liter V‑8. Its twin turbochargers spin up to 150,000 rpm to boost low -end torque by as much as 45%. New high-pressure Direct Injection microscopically fine-tunes the fuel spray, while rapid-multispark ignition fires up to 4,000 times per second — squeezing more thrust, and fewer emissions, from every atom of gasoline. And as its AIRMATIC suspension turns compressed air into calm composure, and its 4matic™ all-wheel drive hugs the road, the CL 550 reminds you how refreshing change can be. Action. With 429 hp and 516 lb ‑ft of peak torque, the Reaction. The CL 550 delivers the silky - smooth response Attraction. Strong yet lightweight alloy wheels capture CL 550 rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.8 seconds.1 Standard 4matic™ all-wheel drive continually redistributes torque to the wheels with the best grip, for commanding confidence in any season.2 The rear-wheel-drive CL 600’s twin-turbo V‑12 outputs 510 hp and 612 lb ‑ft of torque. of a 7‑ speed automatic transmission. A robust 5 ‑ speed automatic deftly manages the CL 600’s staggering torque. The elegant electronic selector operates with fingertip ease. Driver- adaptive logic keeps pace with your driving style, or take charge with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. your attention as compellingly as they conquer corners. Bold 5 ‑spoke 18" wheels are standard on the CL 550, while options include multispoke 19" wheels, 10‑spoke 20" wheels (shown), and either 19" or 20" AMG 5‑spoke wheels as part of the two available Sport Packages.3 CL 550 shown with Iridium Silver metallic paint and optional Driver Assistance Package. Prepares for the future. To protect your legacy. An unsurpassed heritage of looking out for what’s ahead. Look back over the life story of the automobile and you’ll find Mercedes-Benz continually leading the way in safety innovation — from the invention of the first crumple zone 60 years ago to the exclusive PRE ‑SAFE® system of today that can detect and prepare for a collision before it happens. True to its heritage, the 2011 CL‑Class is engineered with visionary safety advances that watch the road ahead and to your side, and that help you to see and be seen. Maybe all cars will do this someday. The protection a CL‑Class offers today could rewrite the story of your own life. Body structure. Even without visible B -pillars, the CL‑ Class body structure achieves exceptional rigidity. Extensive use of ultra-high and high-strength steel in critical areas helps it manage both weight and impact forces. Advanced crumple zones help dissipate impact energy over, under and around the reinforced passenger cabin. PRE- SAFE. During certain vehicle maneuvers, the exclusive PRE‑SAFE system can detect instability suggesting that a collision or rollover is imminent. PRE‑SAFE can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front passenger seat, and close the windows and sunroof — all in an effort to better prepare the occupants.7 Standard 11-way air bag protection. A system of nine air bags offers 11-way protection.4 Every CL‑Class features dual-stage front air bags, a driver’s knee air bag, front and rear side-impact air bags, and side curtain air bags for all four seats. Every seat belt is equipped with an Emergency Tensioning Device (ETD) and belt-force limiter. DISTRONIC PLUS with PRE- SAFE Brake. Another breakthrough first introduced by Mercedes-Benz, this active cruise control option5 adapts your set speed in response to traffic ahead. It automatically slows — or even stops — your car, and then resumes when your path is clear again.8 The system also includes PRE‑SAFE Brake, whose radar-based sensors can detect an impending collision with the vehicle ahead. PRE‑SAFE Brake automatically applies up to 100% of the car’s braking power to help reduce the severity of impact.9 Brighter lighting. All -LED taillamps provide quicker illumination of the brake lamps than conventional bulbs, potentially reducing the reaction time of drivers behind you. Standard Bi ‑Xenon headlamps feature Active Curve Illumination and Adaptive Highbeam Assist — an innovation that continuously varies the headlamp range to maximize illumination without creating glare for other drivers. Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps maximize visibility with minimal energy draw. Night View Assist PLUS with Pedestrian Detection. When you’re driving in darkness, this innovative option 5 projects invisible infrared beams and reads them with a special camera. The system displays a clearer, supplemental real-time view of the road ahead on an in- dash 8" screen positioned directly in front of the driver. It can even help to identify and point out pedestrians.6 ATTENTION ASSIST. By continually monitoring numerous driving behaviors, this Mercedes - Benz innovation can audibly and visually alert the driver if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips.10 Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist. These optional systems 5 can warn the driver of unintended drifting across visible lane markings10 and — at speeds above 20 mph — alert the driver to some unseen vehicles in the adjacent lane.11 Should the driver disregard these alerts, new active technology for 2011 allows either system to help guide the car back into its own lane by gently applying the brakes to specific wheels. CL 550 shown with Palladium Silver metallic paint and optional Driver Assistance Package. Comfort you never imagined. Craftsmanship we never forgot. Innovative luxury. Intuitive elegance. Time -honored customs meet new-age convenience in the CL‑Class. Four individually contoured seats — a Mercedes-Benz coupe hallmark — are divided by a sweeping full console. Hand-fitted leather, hand-finished wood, brushed metal and polished chrome adorn virtually every surface of the seats, doors, dash and steering wheel. Elegantly designed controls fall naturally to your hands, and even the most advanced systems operate with an intuitive simplicity. The COMAND system puts audio, navigation, vehicle settings and information such as real- time traffic reports within easy reach, with a convenient central controller, Enhanced Voice Control and two high- resolution 8" widescreens. Making something startlingly new feel comfortably familiar is a Mercedes-Benz tradition. Thoughtful. Heated and Active Ventilated front seats offer 12-way power adjustment, four zones of lumbar support and 3‑position memory. Optional Drive -Dynamic front seats add a massage function and active support in cornering maneuvers. The wood/leather multifunction steering wheel puts audio and Bluetooth® controls at your fingertips.12 Optional heating 5 can quickly warm your hands in winter. Delightful.

The Premium 2 Package 5 adds a rear view camera16 that shows a live color image on the central 8" widescreen when you shift into Reverse. The exclusive new SPLITVIEW option17 lets you play a DVD movie on the same screen that’s only visible to the front passenger. CL 550 shown with Sahara Beige/Black Premium leather interior and Burl Walnut wood trim. The CL 63 AMG and CL 65 AMG. Performance art. Signed by the artist. One man, one engine. Beyond all the racing trophies earned in the storied legacy of AMG — the high -performance arm of Mercedes-Benz — one small plaque tells an even greater story. Affixed atop each AMG engine, it bears the signature of the single master technician who assembled it from race -proven components with his own hands. The superlatively engineered automobile which houses this engine will go forth to achieve imposing results in virtually every dimension of performance. But no matter what numbers it generates — horsepower and pound - feet, mph and rpm, or seconds and g’s — every measure of a CL 63 AMG or CL 65 AMG starts with “one.” AMG - developed engines. With reduced displacement, numerous innovations and twin turbochargers, the all - new 5.5‑liter Direct Injection V‑8 of the CL 63 AMG outputs a thunderous 536 hp @ 5,500 rpm and 590 lb ‑ft of torque @ 2,000–4,500 rpm. Along with substantially improved efficiency and emissions, 0–60 mph arrives in just 4.4 seconds.1 Not to be outdone, the CL 65 AMG reaches 60 mph in a scant 4.2 seconds, courtesy of a 6.0‑liter twin-turbo V‑12 generating 621 hp @ 4,800 rpm and the highest torque output of any AMG engine yet: 738 lb‑ft @ 2,000–4,000 rpm. SPEEDSHIFT transmissions. A 7‑speed SPEEDSHIFT MCT automatic in the CL 63 AMG offers three driving modes: Controlled Efficiency, Sport and a paddle - shifted Manual mode with lightning - quick 100 - millisecond shifts. A wet startup clutch eliminates the power losses of a traditional torque converter. The reinforced 5 ‑speed SPEEDSHIFT automatic of the CL 65 AMG offers Sport, Comfort and Manual modes that also reprofile the throttle and suspension. AMG -enhanced chassis. The Active Body Control (ABC) fully active suspension features AMG - specific calibration and selectable Sport and Comfort modes. In its firmest setting, ABC virtually eliminates body roll in corners. The adaptive brakes feature massive perforated, ventilated composite discs and dual front calipers. Lightweight yet highly rigid 20" AMG twin 5 ‑ spoke alloy wheels — forged on the CL 65 — wear staggered-width high-performance tires.3 Race -bred refinement. Swathed in Premium leather (or Exclusive diamond- quilted leather in the CL 65 AMG), the Drive - Dynamic front seats provide active support in corners. An AMG instrument cluster includes a RACETIMER for timing track laps, while the central analog clock is modeled after the classic IWC® Ingenieur watch. Impeccably composed and lavishly crafted, the CL 63 AMG and CL 65 AMG are high- performance cars you can enjoy every day.

Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires. 3 Lower aspect ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions. 4 WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS. 5 Standard on CL 600. 6 Night View Assist PLUS does not replace the use of headlamps and should not be used as the primary visual source for the driver. 7 PRE-SAFE® closes the side windows and sunroof when the system’s sensors detect side movement that suggests a possible rollover. 8 DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not react to stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. After braking the car for stopped traffic ahead, system resumes automatically only if traffic pauses for less than 3 seconds. 9 Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions. 10 Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and should be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST and/or Active Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. 11 Active Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of oncoming vehicles. It should not be used as a sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. 12 Bluetooth® interface does not provide phone charging or external antenna. Voice interactivity feature is dependent on selected handset. Visit MBUSA-Mobile.com for details. Phone sold separately.

Respecting it, and protecting it, have long been a part of our vision and ambition. We introduced the world’s first CFC-free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire manufacturing process. We’ve been using water-borne paints for years, and source the wood for our interior trim from responsibly sustained forests. We’ve been pioneering advanced powertrains for generations, from today’s hybrid models and 50-state clean diesels to the fuel cell vehicles of tomorrow. Mercedes-Benz is also legendary for producing automobiles of extraordinary durability, with 88% of the vehicles sold in the last 20 years — and a remarkable 75% of the vehicles we’ve ever sold in the U.S. — still on the road.25 After all, it takes virtually the same amount of energy to build vehicles that last as ones that won’t. Even our brochures conserve resources and are produced with eco-conscious printing. Everything we engineer is born from the motivation and ingenuity to make things better. Passion with compassion — that is what drives us. ©2010 Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC • One Mercedes Drive, Montvale, NJ 07645 • 1-800-FOR-MERCEDES • MBUSA.com Marketing Communications.
