Codenamed C216, we caught the 2007 Mercedes CL nearly naked and way before its expected debut at either the NAIAS in Detroit or the Geneva Motor Show in 2006, and will go on sale shortly afterwards.
Mildly disguised with only matt-textured black tape attempting to hide the shapes of the lights, rear window and other styling cues, but it's not very hard to see the true lines underneath.
Slightly bigger and with a more aggressive stance, features may include drive-by-wire, an automatic lane guidance system and active steering, as well as parking assist cameras in the side mirrors and front grille.
Engine offerings are expected to include a new 480-hp direction-injection 5.5-liter V-8 for the new CL550, with the CL600 equipped with the current 5.5-liter V-12 twin-turbo. The AMG version will be powered by a normally aspirated 500-hp 6.3-liter V-8.
