About this car
The Mercedes-Benz C140 is the internal designation for the W140-based CL-Class coupe, produced from 1992 to 1999. As the flagship two-door grand tourer of its era, it was offered with a range of engines from the straight-six 320 to the thunderous 6.0-litre V12 producing 394 hp in the top S600 variant. Built to extraordinary standards of quality and refinement, the C140 featured innovations such as double-pane windows, radar cruise control on later models, and an enormously stiff body shell. Despite its size and weight, it remains one of the most elegant and over-engineered grand tourers ever produced, though its reputation suffered initially due to the high costs associated with the W140 generation. Today it is increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts for its sheer engineering ambition.
