Costing over £80,000 new in 2002, the CL 500 was the ultimate luxury coupe featuring an incredibly smooth 5 litre V8 engine and state of the art Active Body Control suspension. Offering spacious seats for four passengers and retaining the iconic pillarless window design, the CL 500 was the definitive cross continent cruiser and still able to accelerate from 0-60mph in 6.1 seconds.
