Spy photos: 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL AMG

EDMUNDS STRAIGHTLINE, NURBURGRING GERMANY - - Hot on the heels of the 2007 Mercedes Benz CL550 and CL600 coupes unveiled on Monday, we have for you the first shots of the AMG-tuned version making the rounds on the Nurburgring. Although easily identified by its quad exhaust pipes and super sized wheels and tires, there's no word yet on which engine is under the hood. Most AMGs are getting the new 6.3-liter V8 as of late, but the new 2007 S65 AMG is using the older twin turbo V12.

Given the CL's status as Mercedes' flagship coupe we wouldn't be surprised to see it appear as the 2008 CL65 AMG when it goes on sale next year.
