2011 Mercedes CL550, CL63 AMG and S63 AMG Price

Mercedes decided to release their new bi-turbo V8 engine for the American market with both the new CL63 and S63 AMG at once. Both these models used to get the 6.2 liter V8.

So they dropped the pricing of all new V8 models, starting with the CL550 4Matic powered by the new 4.6-liter V8 engine which has 429 horsepower and 516 lb.-ft. of torque, and an MSRP of $114,025.

2011 CL63 AMG coupe gets the full fat 5.5-liter AMG V8 engine, with 536 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, and a price tag of $151,125. If you want the same engine but our-doors, then get the S63 for $138,875.

For even more performance the optionally available AMG Performance Package increases engine power to 563 hp and 664 lb-ft. for torque; top speed also increases to 186 mph.

New safety options for the 2011 CL-Class line include Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist that both incorporate automatic ESP brake intervention. Active Lane Keeping Assist recognizes lane markings (thanks to a multi-purpose camera in the windshield and a computer that analyzes the images) and alerts the driver by simulating rumble strip vibrations in the steering wheel if the car drifts from its lane without the turn signals on.
