Description
Mercedes-Benz CL 500 V8 – Luxury, power and timeless style.
Defined as one of the most exclusive youngtimers with great charm, it was born in the very early 2000s under the direction of Bruno Sacco, the historic head of Mercedes-Benz design and considered one of the most influential automotive designers of the 20th century. His design credo was clear: a Mercedes car had to age with dignity. And indeed the lines of the CL are still today elegant, taut, never excessive and with an imposing yet discreet on-road presence.
At its debut, it was a real concentrate of technology, comfort and safety, aimed at a high-end clientele.
A true grand tourer of the highest class.
Under the long bonnet lies the famous 5. 0-litre aspirated Mercedes M113 V8, producing a whopping 306 hp and offering smoothness, reliability and a full, authoritative note, capable of delivering a consistently soft but decisive drive when needed.
The example we are offering for sale has a refined and rare Travertine Beige Met. colour paired with a precious and elegant interior in Date Palm leather.
The car has travelled for most of its life in Monte Carlo, as shown by the maintenance invoices carried out at the official Mercedes dealership in Monaco. Subsequently it was taken to France until its arrival at our dealership where it will be registered at the time of sale.
The interiors are well kept and the mechanical condition is extremely satisfactory.
It is an ideal car for those seeking authentic luxury, performance and prestige, without compromise and with a character that modern cars have lost.
Moreover, an aspect not to be underestimated is that these cars, especially in elegant and well-preserved configurations, are attracting increasing interest from enthusiasts and collectors. In fact, the combination of an old-school V8 engine, signed design, exceptionally high build quality and limited production numbers compared with saloon cars makes this CL 500 not only a car to enjoy, but also a smart purchase with a view to economic appreciation over time.
