Mercedes-Benz CL-Class (C216)

The Mercedes-Benz C216 is the last generation of the CL-Class grand tourer, a two-door pillarless coupe produced from 2006 to 2014. It replaced the C215 and was succeeded in 2014 by the C217 S-Class Coupe. The body was designed by Gorden Wagener and Peter Pfeiffer on a chassis based on the W221 S-Class, and at 2,045 kg the coupe was heavier than the equivalent S-Class saloon. It was unveiled at the 2006 Paris Motor Show and went on sale in Europe in early July 2006, with the CL 500 and the CL 600 as early models. AMG versions included the CL 65 AMG with 612 PS, and the car gave the Pre-Safe Brake, with partial autonomous braking, its world premiere, alongside Distronic Plus adaptive cruise control and Night View Assist.
