Perhaps it was inevitable that pictures of the hot new Mercedes CL63 and CL65 have leaked out onto the information superhighway. It might even be as inevitable as the fact that Mercedes will offer the double-nuts turbo-V8 CL63 and the mostest-nuts-of-all turbo-V12 CL65.

The two look almost identical. The 65 carries a bit more metallic trim on its nose and tail. And the 63 has grotesque (in our estimation) quadrilateral polygon exhaust tips.

If you want full details on Mercedes' new heavy-hitter, minivan-length coupes, have a look at our First Look story on the CL. We'll give you a little taste though. The CL63's 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 will make 536 horsepower. The CL65's turbo V12 makes a more than ample 621 hp.

The 2011 CL63 will cost one butt-load. And the CL65 will be priced right around "all of the money."
