\"\"As we’ve reported earlier, Mercedes is busy overhauling its engine lineup, and we now have information about which engines are ending up where in 2011 models.<\/p>\n

The CL550 moves to one of Mercedes\u2019 new V-8 powerplants<\/a>, a 4.6-liter twin-turbo unit making 429 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. That\u2019s versus 382 hp and 391 lb-ft from the outgoing 5.5-liter V-8. All 2011 CLs get a face lift with new front and rear styling; they will retain their names instead of switching to S-class coupe nomenclature as had been previously rumored.<\/p>\n

The CL63 and S63 AMG<\/a> receive another new Mercedes engine, a twin-turbo\u00a05.5-liter V-8. Output ratings are 536 hp ad 590 lb-ft, increases of 18 hp and 45 lb-ft over the old naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V-8. Both models also get an engine stop\/start feature and M-B’s multi-clutch automatic transmission (MCT), which uses a clutch in place of the traditional torque converter.<\/p>\n

Finally, the V-12\u2013powered CL65 and S65 keep their engine but score an additional 17 hp, for a total of 621.<\/p>\n
