CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition Details Released

The latest iteration of our flagship AMG V-12 coupe will launch with a special, limited-production CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition.

As the most exclusive AMG vehicle yet imported into the United States, only 20 units will be offered for sales in this market from 40 units total Worldwide production.

This landmark vehicle commemorates the 40 year anniversary of AMG, founded in 1967. Based on the 2008 CL Coupe, the CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition has all of the features that you would expect in a true performance GT.

Several unique features, specific to the 40th Anniversary Edition, underscore the exclusivity of this model.

• Liquid Metal Paint - Developed by AMG, and unique to this limited series, Liquid Metal paint reflects light more evenly and intensely than traditional paints due to its special micro paint particles measuring 50 nanometers which are four times smaller than traditional metallic paints.

• Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser Application

• 20 inch AMG Double Spoke Forged Aluminum Alloy Wheels with High Performance Tires

• AMG Exclusive Brown Premium Leather Upholstery with Diamond Patterned Stitching

• V12 Embossing on Front Headrests

• Carbon Fiber Interior Trim

• 40th Anniversary Edition Badging

The CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition includes Night View Assist, Distronic PLUS, Keyless GO and Drive Dynamic Multi-contour Seats.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price is $295,000.

I'll take 2 please

it looks very nice with the additional carbon fiber parts that distinguishes it from a 63 amg. Definatley a collectors edition, mercedes seems to make some nice limited edition models as i really like what they did with the dlr by producing a 722 and the last sl600 r129s with the silver arrow anniversary.

Thsnk you for sharing.

I liked the attention to detail from the silver paint,panaromic roof and the two tone black/light grey interior.

the CL is a nice car, but i'm pretty sure most would go for the S65 for $100k less...(if the $290k price tag turns out to be true)

That price tag is ONLY for the 40th anni. model, due to limited production numbers. The regular CL65 will still be around the same as the S.

Man you sure pay alot of money for some stitching and extra badges. Oh I forgot about the carbon fiber interior.

Nothing I see in that list that justifies the $295 price.

Sounds like an amazing car, but $295k??? No freakin WAY! The 65's are already over priced! This one sounds like it might be worth an extra $10k - $20k to me.
