2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG Renntech

Description

This 2003 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG was built to be a top-echelon coupe that mixed luxury with plenty of performance. This one turns up a notch with help from the masters at RENNtech on its supercharged V8. So you're looking at an upper-class hardtop that delivers prestige, comfort, and a ton of power...all for a reasonable price.

The CL-Class will always have a special place in our enthusiast hearts. This generation debuted an elegant pillarless hardtop profile to go with the flowing lines of this full-size coupe. And this one retains the that unmistakable Mercedes-Benz premium feeling, because you're looking at a garage-kept two-owner example that has averaged less than 3,400 miles annually. The Brilliant Silver paint loves to highlight the tight-fitting lines that commands admiration. This level of respect is especially part of the CL55. It was upgraded for extra power and poise by Benz's in-house masters at AMG. This includes a full factory aerodynamic body kit and upgraded 18-inch AMG wheels. It means this car was over six-figures when new, and that doesn't even include the Renntech upgrade (more on that in a moment.)

A car of this price and stature also means an interior loaded with all the best features. The Ash gray leather looks stock, clean, and impressive. One of the big reasons the CL will remain desirable is because full-sized luxury means bucket seats for everyone and adult-sized legroom in the rear. Everyone stays comfortable with a long list of features, like power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, cruise control, dual airbags, a power sunroof, and dual-zone automatic A/C climate control. Plus, the factory AM/FM/CD stereo also has a navigation system, iPod input, and backup camera. The front bucket seats are 14-way power adjustable, and include both memory and heat. You also have a power adjusting steering column and electroluminescent gauges. So it's easy to get comfortable for the long haul.

Under the hood is a terrific powerhouse. After all, most of us would love a fuel-injected 5.4-liter overhead valve V8. But Mercedes didn't just stop there. This is the special supercharged version, and since AMG is famous for its quality hand-built motors, you know this is a robust and valuable powerhouse. It only gets better with a Renntech pulley upgrade installed later by the Mercedes dealer. It's believed to take this super coupe above 500 hp, and without a limiter, the top speed is said to approach 200 mph! These CL55 cars have a fully independent suspension built for the autobahn, and so they are made to handle big power with effortless grace. The same goes for the five-speed automatic transmission. Plus, you have four-wheel power disc brakes, ABS, and an expensive set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires installed only about 600 miles ago.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual packet, receipts, and a copy of the window sticker. This is the full package of absolute luxury and serious performance. So don't miss out, call today!
