Mercedes-Benz is making the CLS even more irresistible. This one-of-a-kind four-door coupe, the pioneer of a whole new automotive segment, has now been fine-tuned to give it added appeal.
The flagship model in the range, the CLS 63 AMG with its 514 hp AMG 6.2-litre V8 engine, now comes with 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels plus a new AMG sports exhaust system.
The new bodywork details harmonize perfectly with the multi-award-winning design of the CLS and make the four-door Coupe always look as if it is about to dash off. Almost four years on from its world premiere, the electrifying, muscular lines of the trendsetter are as unique and as unmistakable as ever.
All CLS models come fitted with the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission as standard. In manual shift mode "M", the driver is able to shift through the gears using shift paddles on the steering wheel if desired.
There is an exclusive choice of new optional extras from the AMG Performance Studio for the CLS 63 AMG including titanium-grey painted AMG 19-inch light-alloy wheels with a twin-spoke design and a polished finish, which are manufactured using first-rate forging technology.
All CLS models can be embellished by the addition of the AMG body styling package: this comprises a prominent front apron with large air intakes, a beefy rear apron featuring a black insert, as well as side skirts.
There is also the option of new AMG 19-inch light-alloy wheels in a high-sheen finish with either 255/35 or 285/30 tires.
