Top-flight full-size coupes, with fluid lines on an exaggerated hood sweeping over the pillar-less roof to an elongated tail, crown the Mercedes line.

Powertrains borrowed from S Class sedans apply to three versions -- CL500 and CL600 plus CL55 AMG. But there's more -- new CL65 AMG. It brings a hand-built AMG 6.0-liter 12-cylinder engine with twin turbos attached to push the power curve over 600-hp.

And stopping power matches the muscle on CL65, as it scores an AMG-built compound braking system with two-piece rotor and hub assembly.
