Mercedes CL500 Rental in Graz

Wer den Mercedes CL500 in Graz mieten möchte, bekommt ein Coupé mit 5,5-Liter-V8, 400 PS und Hinterradantrieb. Das weiße Modell aus dem Baujahr 2008 bietet vier Sitze, Ledersitze, adaptives Fahrwerk und Klappenauspuff. Es ist ein Gran Turismo, der Komfort und Leistung verbindet und für lange Strecken ebenso taugt wie für den Abend in der Stadt.

Why rent the Mercedes CL500?

The Mercedes CL500 is a large, two-door coupé with four proper seats, and that layout defines it. You get the long bonnet and rear-wheel drive of a sporting car, but with the space and equipment of a luxury saloon. Inside you find leather seats, heated seats, a premium sound system, a sunroof and climate control.

The 2008 CL500 in white also looks the part. LED headlights and the sleek coupé body give it presence without shouting. Under the bonnet sits a 5.5-litre V8 with 400 PS, which gives this Mercedes CL500 real performance: 0 to 100 km/h takes 5.4 seconds and the top speed is 280 km/h.

Driving the Mercedes CL500: V8, automatic and adaptive suspension

The Mercedes CL500 is powered by an 8-cylinder petrol engine of 5.5 litres, and it delivers its 400 PS through an automatic gearbox to the rear wheels. That combination suits the car well. Acceleration is strong and smooth rather than abrupt, and the automatic keeps the V8 relaxed at a steady cruise.

The adaptive suspension lets the CL500 switch between a comfortable ride and a firmer, more controlled stance when you pick up the pace. The sport exhaust with flaps adds a deeper V8 note when you want it, and cruise control, navigation and parking sensors take the effort out of long journeys and tight car parks.

Why Graz?

Graz is a good starting point for the Mercedes CL500, because you are quickly out of the city and onto roads that suit a relaxed, powerful coupé. The Autobahn network around Graz gives you the space for the CL500 to cruise, and the cruise control and sound system make those miles easy. For smoother, more scenic driving, head into the hills of Styria, where flowing country roads fit the car's character better than tight mountain hairpins.

Back in town, the CL500 looks right outside the old town and along the Mur. The parking sensors help in the narrow streets, and the sunroof and leather interior make an evening drive an occasion in itself.

When the Mercedes CL500 is the right choice

The Mercedes CL500 suits occasions where arriving in style matters: a wedding, an anniversary, a business dinner or a weekend away for two. With four seats and a generous coupé cabin, it also works for a couple travelling with friends over a shorter distance.

It is also a good pick if you want V8 performance without the harshness of a pure sports car. You get comfort, equipment and a deep exhaust note in one car, which makes it a fine choice for a day of relaxed touring through Styria.

Day trips within 100 km

• Schöckl – The road up to the Schöckl just north of Graz gives the CL500's V8 a steady climb and a few bends to work the adaptive suspension.
• Riegersburg – The drive through the hills of southeast Styria to Riegersburg is ideal for the CL500, with easy curves and a castle on a volcanic rock as the destination.
• Styrian Wine Route (Südsteirische Weinstraße) – The winding ridge roads around Leibnitz and Gamlitz suit a relaxed coupé, and you can enjoy the V8 and the sunroof between vineyards.
• Hochschwab region – The long, open roads towards the Hochschwab let the CL500 stretch its legs on a proper touring day.
• Bad Radkersburg – The route south and east towards the Slovenian border is a calm run through Styrian countryside, well suited to cruise control and the premium sound system.
