Car reviews

The Mercedes-Benz CL is designed to be the ultimate grand tourer - the equal to illustrious names like Aston Martin and Bentley - and the AMG versions are the more sport-focused versions of this large coupé. There are two AMG versions - one using an enormous 6.2-litre V8 (Mercedes actually calls it a 6.3 although its capacity is 6208cc) and the other packing a 6.0-litre bi-turbo V12. Then there's the luxuriously appointed interior and space for four adults to travel in supreme comfort. The AMG versions of the CL have the ingredients to make themselves every bit as desirable as an Aston Martin DB9 or a Bentley Continental GT.
