Overview

Competing in the midsize coupe segment, the 2013 Mercedes Benz AMG CL 63 coupe is a direct competitor to the Maserati GranTurismo, the Aston Martin DB9, and the Bentley Continental GT V8 Coupe. With a single trim, the Mercedes Benz AMG CL 63 carries an MSRP of $153,000.

It offers a 5.5L twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, producing 536 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the AMG CL 65 manages a 0-60 of 4.4 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 18 MPG.

Buying Advice

As the CL63 AMG is a standalone trim, it boasts all the cutting-edge features and technology. However, we also strongly recommend choosing the AMG Performance package which adds more power, a carbon-fiber engine cover, and an increased top speed.
