Gallery: Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG
December 31st, 1969
We’re sure most of you would agree that no justification is really needed for posting up images of an AMG prepped model so enjoy this new gallery of the Affalterbach tuned CL mega-coupe. These latest shots show the CL65 in sunny California, its ‘natural habitat.’ The car is powered by a 612hp (450kW) twin-turbo V12 engine whose torque levels have to be electronically limited to 1,000Nm to preserve the transmission. You can see a video of it by clicking here or read our previous story with all the crucial details by clicking here. Otherwise, follow the jump for the full gallery.Volkswagen Lupo minicar family renderings
