125! years of innovation
In 1886, Carl Benz was awarded the patent for inventing the first car,
while just 60 miles away, Gottlieb Daimler developed his own version.
Between them they also invented the motorcycle and truck, and won
the first auto race. For 125 years, a passion for innovation has driven
Mercedes -Benz to continually reinvent the automobile — creating an
ongoing legacy of firsts that keep redefining the standard for all cars.
Among them, the multivalve engine in 1911. The 4-wheel independent
suspension in 1931. Fuel injection in 1954. The Electronic Stability
Program nearly 20 years ago. And more recently, PRE-SAFE. Today,

Think for a moment about every tradition Mercedes-Benz has upheld for generations.
Unparalleled innovation. Unwavering leadership. Unfading passion. They all add up to an
unbroken promise: “The best or nothing.” For more than a century, Mercedes-Benz has
honored its heritage by making new history, reinventing the future again and again. It’s a
principle expressed perhaps most eloquently in the intensively engineered, impeccably
crafted coupes of the CL-Class. From their striking design to their startling achievements in
acceleration, handling, comfort and safety, the 2012 CL-Class Coupes invest every asset of
their decades-deep character into a rich dividend of futuristic performance. They are what
a flagship Mercedes-Benz coupe has always been: like nothing you’ve ever experienced.

magic in its air.
For the better part of a century, Mercedes -Benz has hastened
the pace of performance — and quickened drivers’ heartbeats —
with coupes like the supercharged 540 K, the fuel-injected 1955
300 Sc, and the 2000 CL- Class with its fully active suspension.
The 2012 CL 550 rekindles the flame, starting with its 429 - hp
V-8 heart. With twin turbos spinning up to 150,000 rpm, its
rapid-multispark ignition fires up to four times in a millisecond,
while high-pressure Direct Injection makes the most of every
atom of fuel. Power turns to poise as the semi-active AIRMATIC
suspension adapts to sharpen handling, silken the ride and
inspire stability. Through challenging corners and changing
seasons, 4matic™ all- wheel drive wields torque with tenacity.
And while its performance sparks your passion, the CL- Class
also soothes your soul — not just with cleaner emissions but
with a magical air of confidence and calm composure.

pioneering insight. protective instinct.
Look back over the life story of the automobile and you’ll find Mercedes -Benz continually leading the way in safety innovation:
Inventing the first crumple zone over 60 years ago. Earning a patent for the air bag. And pioneering a long list of active safety
systems that eventually found their way into most every car, like the Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program
(ESP®) and emergency -sensing Brake Assist. Today, the groundbreaking PRE-SAFE® system can actually detect and help prepare
for a collision before it happens. True to its heritage, the 2012 CL- Class is engineered with visionary safety advances that watch
the road ahead and to your side. Help you to see and be seen. And respond to help make an accident less severe, less damaging,
or even less likely. All cars might do this someday. The protection a CL- Class offers today could rewrite the story of your own life.

inhibition erased.
To earn its place among the illustrious Mercedes-Benz coupes that form its legacy,
the CL-Class must embrace a set of virtues that are apparent not merely in its style
but within its character. It must first be defined by the depth of its engineering, and
a devotion to reimagining what a luxurious performance coupe can be. Only then
can its design take shape — its taut, sweeping profile unencumbered by convention,
virtually unnoticed by the wind, and free of framework interrupting its panoramic side
windows. Its limited production numbers allow its cabin to offer a haven of refined
comfort to its four passengers, with every surface reflecting the careful eye and
expert hands of those who craft it. And yet it is also a most engaging environment,
initiating a spiritual connection that lets the driver feel its aggressive stance and
advanced chassis from its elegantly appointed helm. By its very nature, the ambitious
adherence to its rich heritage is what liberates every new CL-Class to redefine it.

2 Stated rates of acceleration are based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and
road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.
3 Lower aspect ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced

For 125 years — longer than any other automaker — we’ve been sharing this planet with you. Respecting it,
and protecting it, have long been a part of our vision, ambition, and our history of innovation. We introduced
the world’s first 100% CFC -free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire manufacturing process.
We’ve been using water-borne paints for years, and source the wood for our interior trim from responsibly
sustained forests. We’ve been pioneering advanced powertrains for generations, from today’s hybrid models
and 50-state clean diesels to the fuel cell vehicles of a rapidly approaching tomorrow. Mercedes-Benz is
also legendary for producing automobiles of extraordinary durability and longevity. After all, it takes virtually
the same amount of energy to build vehicles that last as ones that won’t. Even our brochures conserve
resources and are produced with eco-conscious printing. Everything we engineer is born from the motivation
to make things better and the ingenuity to make it happen. Passion with compassion — that is what drives us.
