Mercedes C250 CDI Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 06 October 2011 14:05

The CLK is dead, the E-class Coupe has been pushed upmarket, and the CLC is a horrible old little hatchback. Which, until now, has left Mercedes without a rival for BMW’s 3-series Coupe and Audi’s A5 Coupe. Step forward the Mercedes C-class Coupe – which is all C-class unlike the E-class Coupe which uses parts from both the C- and ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 05 August 2011 09:00

First, some history. AMG has been updating and upgrading mid-size two-door Mercs for much longer thank you might think. The go-faster business began in the late 1970s with the W123 range – it came in three different AMG tuning stages, from the humble 2.3-litre four, past a 2.8-litre six, to the mighty 5.0-litre V8. However, it was not until 2001 that AMG stopped ...

Mercedes E500 Coupé (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 21 July 2009 09:30

It’s a two-door E-class – or is it? It’s a 5.0-litre – or is it? Well, E500’s a bit of a misnomer, because this is actually a 5.5-litre V8, and the underpinnings come from the C-class. Should make for an agile, powerful mile-eater then. Let’s see how the new E-class Coupé stacks up on the road. Er, 382bhp and the ...

Mercedes CL65 AMG (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 22 May 2007 12:03

Looks like a bit of a beast. Is this another warp-enabled starship from AMG? Yep. This is Mercedes’ big CL-class coupe fitted with AMG’s ballistic 6.0-litre V12 bi-turbo engine and a bunch of go-faster, look-smarter goodies. It’s also the flagship model in the AMG range, which makes it the quickest and costliest Mercedes this side of the SLR. And speaking ...

Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Nick Trott, 16 May 2007 01:46

Black Series? Sounds posh and a little edgy. What's all that about then? AMG groups its cars into five divisions. The Black Series machines are second only to the borderline psychotic and super-expensive Signature Series (i.e. CLK DTM) cars in the line-up. Black Series cars are stripped out, track focused and expensive (just like the Signature Series cars then) and ...

Mercedes CL63 (2006) AMG CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 05 October 2006 09:33

Another Mercedes AMG model – is there no stopping these power-crazed Germans? Yes, another AMG, and no, there’s no stopping them. Not that we're complaining. When the CL63 AMG arrives here next March it will be the thirteenth model in the AMG line-up (the S63, which we’ll report on next week, is the fourteenth) and frankly, it's bloody marvellous. Muscular ...

Mercedes CL600 (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 13 September 2006 11:54

Who would buy a CL when they could have an S-class or, more likely, an SL? You’d be surprised just how many people have fallen for the blend of S-class refinement, seating for four and a sharper package. Merc has shipped 46,800 of the knife-edged old-shape CL since 1999; only the chunky 80’s SEC did better, at 74,000. Doesn’t look ...

Mercedes SLK55 AMG Black Series (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Angus Fitton, 31 July 2006 05:33

Sounds ominous, what's it all about? AMG's gone hardcore to take on BMW’s 'CSL' and Audi's 'RS' monster saloons. From the new cutting edge Performance Studio in Affalterbach AMG has the capability to design, develop and build low volume niche cars beyond anything previously carrying the three-pointed star. Give me the highlights… The starting point is a standard SLK55. Power ...

Mercedes CLK63 AMG (2006) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 26 July 2006 12:06

Another manic Merc? So how many squillion horsepower does this one have? It's not the car that's important, more what's changed under the bonnet. This is our first taste of a road car powered by AMG's new naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8. It's the company's first ever ground up engine (the others having all been based on existing Benz motors) and ...
