Digital instrumentation also includes an outside temperature sensor and a digital clock. The digital odometer currently shows just under 50k miles from new.
This pillarless coupe is powered by a 5.5-liter biturbo V12 which left the factory with 500 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. The BRABUS T12 package includes an ECU tune which increases output to 570 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.

A walkaround and driving video are viewable below.
With nearly five decades of experience, BRABUS has become known world-wide for its extensive performance and visual modifications to Mercedes-Benz cars along with various other German brands. For the C215 chassis, the M275 V12 engine was offered in the CL600 and fitted with two turbochargers making it ripe with potential for ECU tuning. When BRABUS got their hands on the CL600, they were able to increase horsepower to 570 while giving a significant boost of torque up to 664 lb-ft. All of this was achieved with the stock internals, turbocharges and factory displacement of 5.5-liters. BRABUS also offered plenty of other aftermarket equipment which this car received including its iconic multi-piece Monoblock VI wheels, an upgraded braking system and a quad-tip exhaust. While many of these modified cars have seen years of abuse and neglect, this 50k mile two-owner example shows extensive service history and a clean Carfax report ensuring it can deliver heart-stopping performance for years to come.

Hey there everyone, just a day remaining on the auction for this stunning CL600! Looking forward to seeing some action in the last 24hrs!
@300GWRO thank you for your question. The car tracks perfectly straight and does not pull to either side. It's possible the steering wheel may just need to be recentered.
@Bostongal617(seller); Has car had a front end alignment recently? I ask as during Driving video staring approx 1;00 - 1;08 appears the driver maintains steering wheel slightly right-biased as travelling an apparently straight section of road? Any deferred maintenance agenda needing to be addressed...soon? Thx
This is for knowledgeable "CL specialists"....specifically years 2002-2009. I have always admired the '05/06 AMG CL65...a true 'beautiful brute' imo, yet with myriad electrical gremlins nee' demons...I have been advised thru the years to stay way least ecu this or ecu that leave me stranded or worse..etc etc. Question is how is this '03 cl600 chassis/platform/design/electrical system et al different to the '05/'06 CL chassis before AMG got their hands on them as compared to the '03 model year? Is the earlier CL car less steeped in Chrysler's "cut corners save money" mantra, thus a "better car" to start with as compared to the middle-late years? We all are aware of the quality decline MBZ suffered at the hands of Chrysler, yet at what model year did product line really start deteriorating? Summing up....is the '03 cl600 platform a better car (starting point) than the 05/06 platform? Anyone have direct experience with the above model and the AMG 05/06 variant and care to comment? Very much appreciated & thank you in advance. This Brabus looks the business...and it would be terrific if mechanically fit too. I have taken note of the extensive service history, wherein lies answer to my question, lol. JN
