2013 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
Effortless, immense power from a twin-turbo V-12.

The CL65 AMG is the epitome of a German grand tourer, a unique beast that's half sybaritic sled, half sport coupe. Good God Almighty: There's so much torque on tap from the twin-turbo V-12 engine, it can barely get to the ground, especially if the 20-inch Dunlop tires are cold. You'll be lighting up the rear tires with just the slightest misapplication of your right foot to the accelerator. Forward thrust belies the vehicle's 5000-pound curb weight, and the CL65 hungers for open freeways where it can hurtle along effortlessly at triple digits. Despite our test example's matte paint, this is still a pretty understated car compared with competitors like the Bentley Continental GT. A new S-class is coming soon, and not far behind it will be a new S-class coupe (Mercedes is going to dump the CL badging). There's no word yet whether this wonderful twin-turbo V-12 powertrain will still be offered, so if you've been wanting to join the twelve-cylinder club, there's no time like the present.

PRODUCT EYE: The GBP35,000 Kia Sorento

Stay connected Subscribe to our RSS feed
The claim of 'an all-new platform' by Kia Motors was something I challenged when the company first made this statement last year. To the credit of Kia Motors' UK importer, the facts did indeed seem to stack up: the floor was lowered and there are additional front, side and rear structures as well as a more rigid monocoque (torsional stiffness is said to be improved by 18%).

Full disclosure: This is my second Supra. My first car ever was a white 1983 model that I foolishly sold. I got seller's remorse and, about a year later, bought this 1984 Supra that came in on trade at the Dodge dealership where I worked.
