This is the biggest weakness in the CL's design right now.
looks also like the CL is getting whole new headlights and not just a new innerlife. Do I see a slight L-shape there?
Not at all. What The CL needs is an updated backside. In particular the graphics of the backlights, but I would be even more happy with backlights with a slightly different shape!
IMO the front is spot on and doesn't need a facelift at all.

Desert testing for a FL car? Why do I get the impression that there has been some mechanical changes to these AMG models?

Mercedes is working on a new CL which will be more appropriately named the S-Class Coupe when the new model is released.
These are some spy shots of the AMG version of the S-Class coupe looking mean is light-camouflaged black.
New features will include LED daytime headlights and, possibly, LED tail lamps too. A newly designed front bumper is also hinted in these photos and will sport a more aggressive look in this AMG version than on the standard S-Class coupe. The grill isn't as slanted as on the current CL and will now come split with a single chrome bar across it, giving more prominence to the Mercedes badge sitting in the middle.
AMG is also promising more power and less consumption from its new slew of engines. Doing so by focusing on better engine management as well as reducing consumption by lightening the weight of the car through the greater use of composite materials.

My money on an entire new cluster and graphics (LEDs) for the rearlights, althought with the same shape.

S-class coupe sounds pretty elegant if you ask me. Besides doesn't CL stand for Comfort Light in Deutsch? Hardly a light car... Not sure what they were thinking on that one...
