Those phantoms are BIG cars. They look rather intimidating when in person. Expecially when it has blacked out windows and 22" black wheels while bolting down the 110 freeway in the middle of the afternoon going 100+mph in 75mph traffic.

Guys, it clearly read CLS65 and on the side fender V12 and it was a two door. I did not have any drinks for lunch.
MB doesn't make a CLS65. They do make a CLS55 though. It was most likely some poser with a CL500 that changed the badging.

Well he did say it was a two door, but the CLS are all 4 door sedans. I suspect someone was screwing with the badgeing.

Hi Guys, Sorry to kill the thread! Ran a quick number plate check on the vehicle seen and is listed as a 2004 CL65.

Well, if you Google "CLS65 AMG", you get:

http://www.fantasycars.com/sedans/html/cls65amg.html

http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/coupes/0512_bmw_m6_mercedes_cls55/

So, it appears to exist......

Those are CLS55 AMG's. Someone screwed the link up.

Kind of figured the V12 wouldn't fit, since the CLS is a W211 at heart.
