Mercedes-Benz AMG is taking the CL Class to another level with the 2011 CL63 adding a pair of twin turbos to the 5.5L already aggressive V8 sports car pushing the horsepower to 563 and torque to a choking 664 ft pounds.
If you have an infatuation with horsepower and never feel fully satisfied then this will likely make you think twice about when enough is enough. For most who enjoy having the potential for power regardless if they willingly take part in testing it, this vehicle will likely suit just about any appetite.
Driving a turbocharged vehicle in today’s age is nothing like you’ve ever experienced in terms of excitement. Years ago, many used to prefer a supercharged engine over turbocharged because of the lag that used to be prominent in turbo vehicles.
Now things have changed, and this no longer exists. We can thank modern engineering for that, and getting a taste of what turbos can do nowadays will make you a believer.
Even if you aren’t really interested in how the mechanics of the engine work when turbochargers are added, the basic idea is simply turbos make torque, and that’s the feeling you have when you get pulled into the seat as they spool up and you launch.
