More power, reduced fuel consumption and still a comfy and luxurious car.
As we already know, AMG models are typically the most expensive and highest-performing variants of each MB model.
The facelifted premium coupe had a starting price of $151,500 in the U.S., and with the Performance Pack option would go up to $158,800.

The CL lacked the B pillar and gave passengers the feeling of airiness, mostly when the windows were open. As comfy as this car might be, it was a bit difficult to access the rear seats – even with the front seats maximally scooched forward. Comparison to its predecessor, the facelift brought a few design changes, as both the front and rear bumper, front grille and headlights were revamped.

The new engine powering the model was a 5.5-liter bi-turbo V8 and was based on a Mercedes-Benz design, unlike the previous version, which had a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 designed in-house by AMG. The new one develops 544 horsepower and up to 571 HP with the optional Performance Pack. It could reach 60 mph (97kph) in 4.4 seconds, aided by a 7-speed automatic transmission.

The car is equipped with a 8” LCD screen, a Comand infotainment system, and most of its settings can be managed through it. A generous array of standard safety items was implemented: seatbelts with pre-tensioners and force limiters, dual stage front airbags, active neck-pro head restraints, attention assist (tracks eye movement and driving patterns indicating fatigue), adaptive high-beams, etc.).
