The CL65 gets extra chrome trim over the CL63, both at the front and on the rear diffuser, as well as new exhaust pipes. It rides on 20-inch alloys.

The CL63 uses a new twin-turbo V8 with 536bhp and 590lb ft (or 563bhp and 663lb ft when configured with an optional performance package). It will come with a seven-speed multi-clutch transmission.

The CL65 retains the same twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre V12 engine as the existing model, with 603bhp and 737lb ft.
