    Artistic CLC condense fuel cost

    The compact body dimensions and the muscular lines emphasize the sporty appearance of the new CLC. The Mercedes designers have completely redesigned the front and rear so that the Sports Coupe embodies the contemporary Mercedes design idiom with its distinctive coupe radiator grille featuring a large Mercedes star in the centre, and the new projection-beam headlamps. The S-Class, the luxury CL-Class Coupe and the C-Class provided the artistic models. The redesigned large tailgate conceals a variable boot with up to 1100 liters of luggage capacity. The new tail lights, the long row of LEDs which make up the third brake light unit and the rear bumper subdivide the rear and emphasize its width. The standard specification for the sports package includes a new direct-steer system, which further enhances the agile driving experience of the CLC while adding an important boost to safety. This new feature is based on the speed-sensitive power steering and also offers a variable rack ratio which changes as a function of the steering angle so that the driver only has to turn the wheel slightly when cornering; the Sports Coupe therefore responds far more spontaneously to steering commands and offers even sportier handling.

    As a result, the direct-steer system also improves handling safety in critical situations – for instance when taking sudden evasive action – as the field tests conducted by the Mercedes engineers demonstrate. The six-speed manual transmission comes as standard with all engine variants. Mercedes-Benz can also supply a five-speed automatic transmission for the four?cylinder units, and the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission for the V6 models. In combination with the sports package, the driver can use gearshift paddles on the steering wheel to select the gears of the automatic transmission manually and make optimum use of the engines’ high power reserves when the driving situation calls for it. Mercedes-Benz offers four four-cylinder and two six-cylinder engines with power outputs ranging from 90 kW/122 hp to 200 kW/272 hp for the new CLC. The 135 kW/184 hp power plant in the CLC 200 KOMPRESSOR now develops an extra 15 kW/20 hp while consuming just 7.8 to 8.2 liters per 100 kilometers in the NEDC cycle – the equivalent of up to 0.7 liters less than before. In consumption terms, with its advanced turbo diesel engines, the CLC falls into the five-liter category: the CLC 200 CDI returns a consumption of 5.8 to 6.1 liters per 100 kilometers in the NEDC cycle, up to 10.8 percent less than the outgoing model. The CDI models boast operating ranges of over 1000 kilometers with a full tank (62 liters). High-quality equipment and appointments, and enhanced technology, the new Mercedes-Benz CLC offers even more conquest potential than its predecessor, Thanks to all designers.

    The public will get the chance to take a close look at the Sports Coupe for the first time at the European Mercedes sales and service outlets and authorized dealerships in June 2008.

     

    Best Sports Car with high Speed

    The new Mercedes Benz is a new sports car that unveiled 28th January 2008. Mercedes Benz has released a teaser visual of the new Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class coupe that shows quite clearly the front design of the car. The baseline model is the Mercedes-Benz CLC200K, putting out 184 horsepower from its supercharged 1.8 liter. When Mercedes-Benz first registered the CLC trademark back in May 2006, some speculated it could be a convertible version of the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class. Now it is clear that the CLC is more like a C-Class coupe instead. DaimlerChrysler filed for the CLC-class trademark in the USA back in May 2006 and recently this month it has been published for opposition. The CLC-class trademark was registered for both class 012 – Automobiles and their structural parts and class 028 – Toy model vehicles. Mercedes-Benz has officially revealed the new Mercedes Benz CL-class luxury coupe.

    The CL-class is a two-door coupe based on the Mercedes Benz S-class, and you know the world is starting to get ridiculous when I have to specifically say a coupe is two-door in order not to confuse it with “four-door coupes” like the Mercedes Benz CLS. The Mercedes Benz CL-class is essentially the Mercedes Benz S-class’ technical twin, being based on the same platform and even sharing similar design cues. The Mercedes Benz CL-class is Mercedes Benz’s largest coupe, and it comes with two engines. The CL500 comes with a normally aspirated 5.5 liter V8 making 388hp at 6,000rpm and 530Nm of torque between 2,800-4,800rpm. This is mated to a Mercedes Benz 7G-Tronic transmission, which features 7 forward gears (two of them are overdrive) and a one reverse gear. For the CL500, 0-100km/h takes 5.4 seconds and its’ top speed is 250km/h.

    The top of the range CL600 has a slightly larger 5.5 liter V12 (5513cc as compared to the V8’s 5461cc), but as it is twin-turbocharged, it makes 517hp at 5,000rpm and an amazing 830Nm of torque from as low as 1,900rpm to 3,500rpm. The V12 twin turbo only has a 5-speed auto instead of the 7-speed in the V8. 0-100km/h acceleration for the V12 is 4.6 seconds, and its top speed is an electronically limited 250km/h as well. The monster coupe is heavy, with its kerbed weight including 75kg for driver and luggage standing at a massive 1995kg for the V8 and 2185kg for the V12. Unsurprising considering its size – it’s slightly over 5 meters long. The Mercedes Benz CL class has a fuel tank capacity of 90 liters, which would cost you RM172.80 to refill according to the current RM1.92 for RON97 fuel rates. Expect Bra bus to do a whacked out monster-engine super coupe version of the CL-class soon, as it did with the E-class and the CLS-class. Mercedes Benz also has a CL55 AMG with a 5.5 liter 493hp supercharged V8 up its sleeves, as well as a CL65 AMG with a 6.0 liter twin-turbo V12 making 604hp.
