2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG - The CLS is the car that spawned the generation of four- and five-door "coupes" on the road today. The Volkswagen CC, Aston Martin Rapide and even the Hyundai Sonata all owe a debt of gratitude to that four-wheeled elongated arch. But while the 2006 original was little more than a prettified version of the E-Class sedan, the all-new version has come to conquer more than the valet line at the country club.
When viewed from the front, the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG evokes associations with the SLS AMG the radiator grille in particular, with its large Mercedes star and wing-shaped horizontal slats, appears to have been inspired by the gullwing. The top-of-the-range AMG model distinguishes itself from the other CLS variants with its distinctive bonnet, wider mudguards with "V8 BITURBO" logo and a specific AMG front apron with black painted cross member. Eye catching features at the rear include the diffuser insert, the AMG spoiler lip on the boot lid, the AMG sports exhaust system with dual twin chrome tailpipes, and - as also featured on the SLS AMG - integrated rear foglamp. The AMG bodystyling perfectly matches the typical CLS outline, which is essentially characterised by the elegantly long proportions, the lateral dropping line and the muscular sports car-like shoulder line above the rear axle.

This philosophy also continues through consistently into the interior. All of the AMG-specific design and appointment features ideally supplement the redesigned CLS interior. The wrap-around effect in the cockpit, with its high line which sweeps from the driver's door over the instrument panel support and across to the front passenger door, is generously flanked by high-quality trim elements - available in black piano lacquer as standard in the top-of-the-range AMG model. Quality materials and workmanship meet the very highest of standards and help to guarantee a particularly exclusive atmosphere.
The latest edition of the CLS63 AMG sedan shares its twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 with the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CL63 coupe, replacing the normally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 that powers its predecessor. In the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG, the 5.5-liter biturbo engine makes 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque, compared with 507 hp and 465 lb-ft for the 6.2-liter V8 in the 2011 model. With the optional AMG Performance package, which dials up the boost pressure from 14.5 to 18.8 psi, output rises to 550 hp and torque to 590 lb-ft. Zero-to-60-mph acceleration takes 4.4 seconds in standard trim or 4.3 seconds with the Performance package. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph with the former, rising to 186 mph with the latter.
