Standard Bi-active curve illumination, and support adaptive headlights, headlights offer state-of-the-art lighting. LED status indicators and sidelights around the car image and versatile rear of the vehicle features new taillights design.

New twin-turbo V8 engine with an innovative technology

The new generation of Mercedes-Benz CL-Class also assumes a pioneering role with its powertrain. Under the hood of a new CL550 4MATIC V8 biturbo blue DirectShow technology delivers impressive power. With its 4663 cc displacement, the engine produces 429 hp eight-cylinder, despite the displacement of 0.8 liter less, it is still about 12 percent more powerful than its predecessor, which had a capacity of 382 ch. Simultaneously, the torque increased from 391 lb.-ft. to 516 lb.-ft. - a 32 percent increase. The new engine achieves a 10-15% improvement in fuel economy and improvement of 23% of CO2 emissions. The CL550 4MATIC requires just 4.9 seconds to accelerate from zero to 60 km / h. (Previous model: 5.4 seconds). Summary: The CL550 4MATIC is much more nimble, torquey and economical than its predecessor.

The technology package of DirectShow blue V8 biturbo contains a number of new developments, unique in their combination. It is worth mentioning them is guided by a stream of third-generation gasoline direct injection with piezo injectors, multi-spark ignition with up to four spark plugs in a millisecond. In addition both the possibility of a combustion process innovation is called "split uniform." Other factors contributing to low fuel consumption remain constant use copies of friction optimized pistons, piston rings and cylinder barrels, control at the request of the oil pump and the new three-phase thermal control in the circuit cooling. The luxury coupe also controls the generator, depending on the type of conduct and on-board voltage. The kinetic energy is recovered in overflow mode.

CL600, the 510 hp 12-cylinder bi-turbo engine and 612 Nm. Torque is a top-of-the-line model is a luxury sports car accelerates from zero to an incredible 60 mph 4.5 seconds.

A unique combination of driver assistance systems

CL-Class 2011 further strengthened its position as a masterpiece of automotive platform and technology, with the help and the most advanced security systems. These wizards very keen to transform the court into a "think" partner who can see, feel and react immediately if it detects an obstacle, act independently to prevent accidents or mitigate their effects. The driver assistance systems as a pioneer in the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class is based on the state of the art radar, cameras and sensors.

Active Lane Keeping Assist is a new security feature made its debut on the Mercedes CL-Class in the driver assistance package as an option. If the vehicle threatens to cross a railway line marking continuously, the system activates an electric motor in the wheel, vibrating the map - giving the driver a discreet but effective warning hint to counter the tea immediately. The active system jumps into action, if Mercedes inadvertently cut through a railway line continuous marking on the right or left. In this case, the car gently intervenes by braking the wheels on the opposite side of the car and helps the driver stay on course. Active Lane Keeping Assist is built on existing Electronic Stability Program ESP ® program.

Lane Keeping Assist assets evaluating information provided by a camera mounted inside the windshield. Identifies the contrast between the road surface and lane markings. In addition, the radar scans the roadside optional separators and other pavement markings. The system also evaluates the actions of the driver and reliably determine if the car is at the beginning of the track, intentionally or not. For example, there is no warning if the driver accelerates hard right before you go or when accelerating on the right track, or hard braking in a curve or angle.

Brake targeted: Active Blind Spot Assist

Another innovation Mercedes-Benz offers a Mercedes-Benz CL-Class is Active Blind Spot Assist, which uses a multi-stage design of a warning. If the system detects a lane change would be too dangerous, warns the driver by displaying a red triangle exterior mirror. Close-range radar sensor to monitor the area immediately to the side and rear of the car. If the driver ignores this warning and use the turn signal, for example, the audible sounds. If the driver continues to ignore the warnings, and comes dangerously close to the vehicle in adjacent lanes, the system works: the corrective action of brake ESP ® was applied to the wheels on the opposite side of the vehicle. This causes the car's yaw movement about the vertical axis, due to the uneven distribution of braking forces.

If an accident still can not be avoided, the system activates Blind Spot Assist can reduce the consequences of a collision by braking control.

Assistants to see and be seen better

Adaptive Beam Assist is standard available from Mercedes-Benz CL-Class. This camera-based system to identify oncoming vehicles or vehicles on their lights, and thus facilitate the transition to the high bars, beams of light to create the best possible conditions without dazzling other drivers. In addition, Mercedes-Benz offers the optional Night View Assist Plus Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, special offers, an infrared camera to detect pedestrians: Pedestrians are now explicitly highlighted in the display, to help warn motorists of low lighting.

European models, the images provided by the head-mounted camera using a new speed limit Assist option (not available in the U.S.), which recognizes speed limit signs of passage, and shows a speed limit on the big screen and a display system navigation map.

A new generation of the CL-Class Mercedes-Benz has also improved long-and medium-range radar used by Brake Assist (BAS PLUS) and DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control cruise.

An "electronic crumple zone", the system PRE-SAFE ® Brake

Mercedes-Benz offers a second radar system as part of a package of assistance luxury coupe driver: PRE-SAFE ® brake automatic emergency braking. If the driver is distracted and does not recognize the imminent danger of collision or a warning sign, and the care system, PRE-SAFE brakes can be addressed independently and apply partial braking. If the driver does not react, even if the automatic partial braking, this is a new version of PRE-SAFE ® Brake activates the maximum braking effect, the pressure of about 0.6 seconds before the collision inevitable - it is an operation emergency braking can significantly reduce the severity of the impact. PRE-SAFE ® brake is thus a sort of "electronic crumple zone".

ATTENTION ASSIST warns sleepy drivers

Drowsiness is one of the most common causes of accidents. It is for this reason that the Mercedes specialists have developed ATTENTION ASSIST, which is part of standard equipment for the new Mercedes CL-Class. The system constantly monitors more than 70 different parameters, in order to detect driver fatigue and give a warning before dangerous micro-sleep phase begins. Please note the driver's steering proved to be particularly strong evidence: several years of practical research, Mercedes-Benz has shown that sleepy drivers to make small steering errors which are often very characteristic way very quickly. This guide is recognized as a specific steering angle sensor. Please note the driver's eyes are not always conclusive evidence of sleep, because many drivers can experience a micro-sleep eyes open.

Active Body Control reduces the effect of wind

The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class also meets the highest standards in terms of driving dynamics and agility. Thanks in part to Direct-Steer, which can vary the steering ratio based on steering angle, and modified Active Body Control (ABC) crosswind stabilization (standard on the CL600, CL65 AMG CL63 AMG) . This last step in the development of active body changes the distribution of the burden of wheel spacers Spring ABC in milliseconds (depending on the direction and intensity of the crosswind) to help offset the forces of wind through of.

Suspension Active Body Control - which introduced a new dimension of driving dynamics in the previous Mercedes-Benz CL-Class in 1999 - is unique because it applies not only to roll, but the pitch and squat movements and , ensuring a perfect harmony of comfort and handling stability. Since the introduction of this innovative system, the engineers in Sindelfingen have continuously improved, so eleven years later that always marks the pinnacle of automotive engineering. In addition to the crosswind stability, suspension of new features optimized hydraulic pump that takes the load of the engine, which helps reduce fuel consumption.

Additional safety and agility in fast driving is provided by the brake Torque Vectoring standard in new CL-Class - targeted unilateral intervention braking the inside rear wheel when cornering. This allows the luxury coupe to be running fine control with even greater agility.

Information and entertainment on board: the most advanced multimedia technology

In keeping with his character serene and sophisticated technology, including Mercedes-Benz CL-Class sets standards for embedded infotainment. The latest innovation, technology SPLIT VIEW is available for the COMAND system in the center of the center console. This innovative display concept makes it possible for the driver and front passenger to see different content simultaneously on the same screen. For example, a driver using a navigation system based on cards in the front seat passengers watch a DVD.

Standard COMAND control and display system with Bluetooth ®, USB and SD card interface allows customers to export stored data to other vehicles and multimedia devices. It is also possible to transfer and update the navigation data. Mercedes-Benz integrates media interface - an interface for portable audio and video devices - via an optional cable located in the glove box. Standard equipment includes audio radio, a 6-disc CD / DVD player compatible with MP3, EQ with volume control speed-compensated and 7.2 GB of music registry that stores about 2,500 digital music files in MP3 format, AAC or WMA. The system recognizes the music files playable on CD, DVD or music from the registry using its database Gracenote ® database, and displays the title, album and performer in the color display. New music search function allows passengers to browse the SD memory cards, USB sticks, CDs and DVDs for music titles and artists specific.

The standard navigation system features a national map of the system stores 40 GB hard drive, which allows a very fast route calculation. Another factor is the ease of navigation, high detailed map of 3D display, SIRIUS real-time traffic information.

The standard voice command system allows the driver to operate the navigation equipment, telephone and audio input via the whole word - which means that the driver no longer needs to clarify its orders, but simply to pronounce the whole word when you enter destination, select a radio station or a music title from the directory of music, or when you call a name in the directory.

Co-developed by Mercedes-Benz and Harman Kardon ® surround sound system with Logic 7 ® Discreet technology provides excellent performance with a three-dimensional.

Interior: carefully selected materials and superior finishing

In the cabin, also Mercedes-Benz developers and designers perfected the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, very attentive to details. A total of four different types of precious wood opens up opportunities for material well suited and concepts of color: a choice of bright light or dark walnut, black ash and shiny brown poplar CL600. Important Note: In line with the corporate philosophy of Mercedes-Benz of sustainability, using Mercedes-Benz CL-Class only European wood from sustainable forestry sources. Most of the wood components are handmade and individually matched for color and grain of experienced craftsmen.

The materials found in the new CL-Class seats are the finest quality. There is a choice of four color combinations for the vehicle like: black premium leather, premium leather savanna / cashmere, Ash / Gray premium leather, sahara beige / premium leather black.

Multi-function wood / leather steering wheel and the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class has also been changed for Mercedes-Benz designers: the RIM and the air bag is lined with soft nappa leather is standard. New, more compact airbag also lends a touch of sportiness to the multi-function leather / wood steering wheel sophisticated double-stitched seams.

Apart from this, Mercedes-Benz is the use of light as a style element inside the vehicle. Standard ambient lighting provides a choice of three lighting modes: solar (amber), neutral (white) and polar (light blue).

Tradition: an exclusive line of his ancestors

The new generation of the CL-Class continues the great tradition of cutting Mercedes-Benz, which dates from the late legendary supercharged cars of the 1920s and '30s. Since the 1950 Mercedes-Benz has produced a steady stream of exclusive two-door car that combines sophisticated design with cutting edge technology - each a classic model of the car. The model series W 188 S 300 Coupé - which went into mass production in 1952 - was the beginning. A report is now called the "measure of what can be achieved in the automotive industry."

This opinion has remained faithful to all the following models to the current Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, Mercedes-Benz luxury coupe present - with the exception of their timeless design and a high level of comfort - a revolution in automotive technology. This was the case in 1961 220 SE Coupe was the first mass-produced Mercedes-Benz equipped with disc brakes. In 1995, the Electronic Stability Program ESP celebrated its world debut at S 600 Coupe C140 is a model of the series, and in 1999, the active control system of the body of the suspension was introduced in the model series C215 CL-Class . Technological innovation PRE-SAFE ® Brake debuted a large coupe Mercedes-Benz. Now, two new developments in the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, helps prevent accidents or reduce their severity.
