After a certain time that arrived it for the change by sleeping compartment with the plant body index W215 became actually the best-seller of sales. For its class, naturally… But here in sale appeared novelty from the chief competitor - “six” BMW, and position “two hundred fifteenths” immediately they shook. Company “Mercedes” was occupied with conclusion for the market of new flag officer in person S- class, preparing the tastiest and sweetest dish for its clients to the dessert.

And here it solemnly appeared in the press- park of company “DaymlerChrysler”, by the varnished sides. Pilots could not miss the possibility to be introduced to the crowd. Well how do you do, newest CL500 in the body under number W216… The first, on what you immediately focus attention, new CL is devilishly beautiful! The ideal smooth lines of body, sinewy sides, wide wheel arches, the stylish “front”, in which distinctly rush by the notes of chief competitor from Bavaria, and finally sloping tail end in the style of reduced maybach. In the profile new sleeping compartment generally appears stylistically final. Moreover to us to the test was reached the version, equipped with the sta1ling- packet from the court studio AMG, into which enter front and rear bumpers, lateral “skirts” and gigantic 20- one inch summer wheels of original design (true, to us to the test automobile it were reached already on the winter 19- one inch casings “Dunlop” without the shafts). Two oval exhausts of the sport disposed exhaust system complete picture. Believe me, this machine not only evidently, but still and as audibly! Is still more serious inside the luxurious sleeping compartment. Reign of computers, video cameras, skin. Moreover in the interior there is no pretentiousness or sorting, let us say, with chromium. The design of the internal decoration of salon is strict, is beautiful stilen. Practically everything, which is only possible, is stretched over by black skin, and ceiling. Inserts from the natural tree create unique cosiness and comfort, seats are very convenient and have the inconceivable number of adjustments. Moreover far from all they are plotted in the traditional joystick on the side door, the part is brought out to the display of system Command on the central console. By the way, to govern on the central tunnels as is not difficult, as it can prove to be at first glance, it was possible to be mastered literally in 20 minutes. Despite the fact that the assembly of test sleeping compartment is very rich, it is far from most complete. Indeed the cost of the base version CL begins to more than serious mark into 131000 Euro -, and upper ceiling it is limited exclusively to fantasy and purse of customer. “our” version goes off scale already far beyond 169000….. However, deficiency this to name language is not turned, indeed luxurious sleeping compartment from “Mercedes” always cost very dearly… However, possession by this automobile not only emphasizes status and solid bank calculation of owner, but also are opened gates and barriers of practically any stand. Chrome-plated key- small fish can quietly lie at the pocket: according to the contemporary fashion of auto- it is started from the button to the right of steering wheel. We press - and the sweet melody of sport exhaust system immediately begins to caress rumor. In spite of abbreviation CL.500, the working volume of engine composes almost five and one-half of liters. This V8 issues 388 horsepower with the torque in 530 nm. With this “heart” enormous five-meter sleeping compartment is accelerated from the place as if the fluff - for five and one-half of seconds. And this with the mass is more than into two tons! Tightening force pleasantly prints body into the back of driver seat… Certainly, there is and much more powerful 500- strong version and even it is more powerful (612 hp), but this already theme for the separate conversation… But not only by dynamics will gladden new S.L of its owner. In motion this luxurious sleeping compartment reaches not less than the pleasure, moreover and with the smooth and calm ride. The fact is that all expensive Mercedes of new generation are in series equipped with the pneumatic suspension AVS (Active Body Control), which practically completely prevents the banks of body with the passage of turnings. Only lateral centrifugal force gives to those sitting to inside understand that you pass turning with the ultimate load. As it is assumed, the regime of 7 that transmission 7G-Tronic it is possible to switch from the position “comfort” into the regime “sport”. Mercedes immediately it becomes more responsively to the pressing of accelerator pedal, and clever box begins to sort out steps much more rapid. However, and appetite CL here becomes excellent. In spite of the declared by producer numbers of the fuel consumption in the urban cycle into 17 - 18 liters, in the reality with the active ride of sleeping compartment it devours 25 - 26 liters. This not too is much, as it seems at first glance, taking into account the volume of engine. However, those, who can itself allow this machine, hardly complain about its gluttony… So that however, we nevertheless do have as a result? The new sleeping compartment CL 500, undoubtedly, is the best proposal in its class, yes even generally, probably one of the best automobiles in the world. And one of the beautiful… To vote, as usual, there will be buyer, I let of such people will prove to be not too and much, personally I envy to them by white envy. Because Mercedes S.L 500 - this and truth is healthy!..
