Default CL65 AMG pic

This is the car we're not getting here. It's only for some really rich germans who get it custom ordered directly from AMG, not a Mercedes dealership.

Oh and here's some info on it:

Mercedes-AMG is the creator of yet another automotive masterpiece which celebrates its world premiere in Geneva. The new CL 65 AMG continues the successful twelve-cylinder tradition of Mercedes-AMG with an up-to-date V12 power unit which exhibits stunning performance characteristics. Thanks to twin turbocharging this engine develops 450 kW/612 hp and makes a remarkable 1000 Newton metres of torque available from 2000 rpm. This makes the CL 65 AMG the most powerful AMG model to date.

Thanks to this muscular AMG 12-cylinder powerpack the Coupé matches the performance of thoroughbred sports cars: from standstill the CL 65 AMG accelerates to 100 km/h in only 4.5 seconds (provisional figure). Its maximum speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.

Honestly, if I had to choose one car to drive each and every day, this would be it. Not only is it one of the most luxurious cars on earth, its also one of the most powerful and therefore fastest.

Oh, I love those rims. The guages too. Everything about it.

I really think it'll hit 60 in the low 4's.... with that much more power, and no more weight than the CL600 right?
