Description
Twin-turbo 5. 5 litre V12, more power than CL55, same M275 engine as Maybach and CL65, in effect a CL65 light - not to be confused with earlier pre-2003 (inferior) M137 CL600.
From Wikipedia: 'In 2003 the engine options changed. The CL 55 AMG became supercharged allowing the car to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 4. 27 sec according to Motor Trend and the V12 CL600 had 2 turbochargers added and a slight engine reduction, from 5980 cc to 5513 cc. Both cars produced 500 PS (368 kW; 493 hp) the distinction, again, was the ghost like quietness of the CL600 as compared to rather noisy CL55 AMG. The CL600 was conservatively rated by Mercedes-Benz as not to take sales away from the AMG CL55. A dyno tested stock CL600 was closer to 540 hp. Car & Driver's acceleration test delivered a 0-60 time of 4. 3 seconds.'
