The seller offers for sale this 2010 Mercedes-Benz CL 500, powered by a 4.7-litre V8 petrol engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Finished in dark metallic paintwork with a dark leather interior, this C216-generation CL presents as a full-size luxury coupé in its intended long-distance touring configuration. The cabin combines wood trim with the marque’s familiar switchgear layout, and the seller notes the car has an indentation on the right-hand side and a crack in the windscreen. The odometer reads 178,000 km.
The CL 500 sits at the heart of the CL range, a model line that Mercedes-Benz positioned as its most exclusive coupé offering. The C216 generation arrived in 2006 and received a comprehensive facelift for the 2011 model year, bringing revised styling and updated powertrains. The 4.7-litre biturbo V8 introduced with that update replaced the earlier naturally aspirated 5.5-litre unit, delivering a substantial increase in torque while improving efficiency, and it drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission.
Central to the CL’s appeal is its pillarless coupé architecture, a Mercedes-Benz signature that allows all four side windows to retract fully and leave an uninterrupted opening along the flank. The proportions are long and low, with a broad rear haunch and a cabin set well back on the wheelbase. Air suspension and Active Body Control were hallmarks of the model, giving the car its characteristic ability to cover long distances at speed with minimal effort. Inside, the CL was equipped to the marque’s highest standard of the period, with extensive leather trim, powered and heated seating and a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems.
As the two-door interpretation of the S-Class, the CL has always been produced in far smaller numbers than the saloon on which it is based, and the C216 was the final generation to carry the CL name before the model was renamed S-Class Coupé in 2014. That makes cars of this type the last of a line stretching back through the C215, C140 and the SEC coupés of the 1980s, a lineage that continues to attract enthusiasts of the modern Mercedes-Benz grand tourer.
