We brought you shots of the new CL 65 AMG earlier this week. But today DaimlerChrysler officially announced the new 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG, which will be on display at the New York Auto Show. The 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG is powered by a 6.0 liter V12 biturbo engine that produces 612 horsepower. The car has a five-speed automatic transmission with a S/C/M mode button that allows the driver to choose between Sport, Comfort and Manual driving modes.

Standard features on the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG include AMG body styling, 20-inch AMG forged wheels, AMG sports suspension, based on the Active Body Control system and the anticipatory occupant protection system Pre-Safe.
