Kickdown's Take
by Moritz NiemannEvery Mercedes-Benz CL is something special. The CL 600 from the C215 series with a V12 naturally aspirated engine represents the pinnacle of the Mercedes model range in the early 2000s. The CL 600 offered here has only had two owners and a low mileage of 42,429 kilometers. A lot has been invested in the technology recently. An old-school luxury coupe!

Model history
The Mercedes-Benz C 215 is a luxury coupé that was marketed under the name CL-Class and is technically based on the S-Class of the 220 series. Despite sharing the same platform, the coupé had its own body design and was available exclusively with large-displacement gasoline engines. The series celebrated its world premiere in March 1999 at the Geneva Motor Show, initially as the CL 500, followed by its market launch in Europe and Japan in September 1999. At the beginning of 2000, the CL 600 with a twelve-cylinder engine was added to the range. Around 46,800 units of the C 215 series were produced until it was discontinued in March 2006.

Questions and Comments
Technik: Serienmäßig im Mercedes-Coupé C 215 kam die auf einer Stahlfederung basierende Aktive Radaufhängung Active Body Control (ABC) zum Einsatz. Auf Stabilisatoren konnte prinzipbedingt verzichtet werden. Der C 215 war somit der erste Pkw aus deutscher Produktion, der mit einem aktiven Fahrwerk ausgerüstet war. Diese Technologie ist außer dem CL nur in der Mercedes S- und SL-Klasse verfügbar. Sämtliche anderen Fahrwerke (die sogenannten aktiven Fahrwerke von Citroën oder Dynamic Drive von BMW (aktive Stabilisatoren, Active Roll Stabilization (ARS))) sind lediglich adaptive Fahrwerke. Auf Basis von Sensorsignalen und mit Hilfe spezieller Hydraulikzylinder an den Achsen kompensiert ABC Wank- und Nickbewegungen der Karosserie beim Anfahren, bei Kurvenfahrt und beim Bremsen fast vollständig (Wankstabilisierung). Technisch wäre auch eine vollständige Kompensation möglich, wird aber im Hinblick auf die Fahrergewohnheiten nicht angewendet. LG Tom
