NEW LISTING: 2007 Mercedes-Benz CL550

One of our very favorite marques here at The Burt Collection is Mercedes-Benz. Whether it be an 1961 190SL, or a 2007 CL550, we appreciate all the little details that add up to make a Mercedes such an exceptional vehicle. Mercedes has consistently been a market-leader in the technology implementation, often bringing high-tech features straight from concept cars to road cars. These include such advances as xenon headlights, rain-sensing wipers and satellite navigation. With the introduction of W216 CL, came another impressive breakthrough, Night View Assist. NVA is a new system that uses infrared technology to display an image of the road ahead. This night-vision system was first seen in the F500 Mind research car of 2003 and can improve the driver’s night time visibility by up to 125 per cent, compared with traditional halogen headlamps.The CL also features a programmable multivision dashboard display, developed from the F500 Mind, as well as DISTRONIC Plus, an adaptive radar-guided cruise control system derived from the 1991 F100 research car. This uses a radar sensor in the front grille to keep the car a safe distance from the vehicle in front, even in stop-start traffic.
