Mercedes Benz cls63 amg 2012
Mercedes Benz cls63 amg 2012 - The CLS63 AMG. Called Manganit Gray Magno, the spooky hue hints at the sinister character of the CLS63, which was further confirmed by the crackling exhaust note heard as it rumbled onto the stage. The 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is set to make its world debut at this week’s Los Angeles Auto Show, but before the live reveal the German automaker decided to share a sneak preview of its sleek new design.
Although the last CLS AMG was powered by Mercedes-Benz’ sensational 6.2-liter V8, the 2012 model makes the switch to the automaker’s latest 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8. Despite the decrease in displacement, the CLS63 AMG should offer plenty of performance, with the new mill rated at 518 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. A Performance Package will also be on offer, boosting power to 550 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque.
The AMG exterior treatment looks good on the new-for-2012, E-class–based CLS and its “four-door coupe” proportions. The aluminum hood and front fenders have been reshaped, and combine with a deeper front air dam housing twin LED light bars to give the car a wider-looking stance and a more bad-ass look in general. In back, a diffuser insert and the thinnest of rear lip spoilers should help stability while exploring the upper end of the CLS63’s speed range, which is electronically limited to 155 mph on standard versions and 186 mph on those with the optional Performance package. The gorgeous, purposeful-looking five-spoke wheels measure 19 inches in diameter and are wrapped with performance rubber measuring 255 mm wide up front and 285 mm wide in the rear.
Stunning design, superior performance and groundbreaking efficiency – that is the all-new 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG. The four-door coupe features the all-new AMG V8 biturbo engine generating an output of up to 550 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, as well as the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed Sports Transmission. Fuel economy of 16 mpg city and 21 mpg highway (esti- mated figures) represents an improvement of up to 33 percent compared with the preceding model. The 2012 CLS 63 AMG goes on sale in the US in the sum- mer of 2011.
