Driven: 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Coupe
From ridiculously sublime to sublimely ridiculous, the Mercedes CL coupe offers sybarites something they will struggle to find anywhere else: a luxury two-door, four-seat coupe in the truly grand touring mould.
It’s impossible to award anything less than five stars to a car where even the slowest in the range knocks off 0-62mph in just 4.9 seconds. That model is the CL500 and is pretty much all you’d ever want or need in a large luxury coupe. The 4.7-litre V8 engine gently ripples with 429bhp, which is more than sufficient to see the CL500 surge past slower traffic, cruising elegantly at any speed right up to its 155mph limited top end, restrictions permitting, and still deliver enough of a V8 growl and punch to make the CL feel just sporty enough.
