Exciting design, ultimate
performance and
groundbreaking efficiency:
this is what the new
Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG is
all about.
The top-of-the-range version
of the four-door coupé is
equipped with the newly
developed AMG V8 biturbo
engine, featuring a peak
output of up to 557 hp and
800 Nm of torque, as well as
the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT
7-speed sports transmission.
On top of this, the
vehicle's fuel consumption
of 28.5 mpg represents an
improvement of 32 per cent
compared with the previous
model (all figures
provisional).
The combination of an AMG
RIDE CONTROL sports
suspension with an
electronically controlled
damping system and new front
axle, newly developed
electromechanical AMG sports
parameter steering, and also
optional AMG ceramic
high-performance composite
braking system, is
synonymous with maximum
driving dynamics. Visually,
the CLS 63 AMG impresses
with its athletic appearance
and distinctive exterior and
interior design. The model's
standard specification also
includes innovative LED High
Performance headlamps.
"The new CLS 63 AMG
continues the success story
of the previous models, the
CLS 55 AMG and CLS 63 AMG,
which have delighted our
customers all around the
world since 2004", according
to Ola Källenius, Head of
Mercedes-AMG GmbH. "The CLS
63 AMG is a unique
high-performance car – it
sets new standards in
design, performance and
efficiency."
Like the S 63 AMG and CL 63
AMG, drivers of the CLS 63
AMG will benefit from an
eight-cylinder powerhouse,
designated internally as the
M 157: the new AMG 5.5-litre
V8 biturbo engine boasts a
combination of innovative
high-tech components which,
in addition to spray-guided
direct petrol injection with
piezo injectors, also
include a full aluminium
crankcase, four-valve
technology with camshaft
adjustment, air/water
intercooling, generator
management and stop/start
system. With a displacement
of 5461 cc, the
eight-cylinder engine
develops a peak output of
525 hp and torque of 700 Nm.
In conjunction with the AMG
Performance package, these
figures increase to 557 hp
and 800 Nm. Both variants of
the CLS 63 AMG achieve
exceptional performance:
acceleration from 0-62 mph
takes 4.4 and 4.3 seconds
respectively, and the top
speed is 155 mph
(electronically limited).
The major difference between
both power units is the
increase in the maximum
charge-air pressure from 1.0
to 1.3 bar. In addition, the
CLS 63 AMG with the AMG
Performance package features
a special high-quality
carbon fibre engine cover.
Quantum leap: fuel
consumption reduced by 32
percent
Despite a significant
performance increase
compared with the previous
model, which had a naturally
aspirated AMG 6.3-litre V8
engine producing 514 hp and
630 Nm of torque, the new
CLS 63 AMG is some 32 per
cent, more economical –
which represents a quantum
leap forward.
The NEDC fuel consumption of
28.5 mpg equates to a CO2
output of 232 g/km. Thanks
to these figures, the new V8
Coupé from AMG not only
undercuts all of its direct
competitors in the small but
refined four-door
high-performance coupé
segment, but is also more
fuel efficient than
significantly lower-powered
vehicles. Both performance
variants have identical fuel
consumption and CO2
figures.
