Cycle & Carriage - The CLS-Class Coupè

CLS 63 AMG

AMG – three letters that are internationally synonymous with leading-edge technology, exclusivity and dynamism. The new CLS 63 AMG unleashes your feelings. But it’s not just the breathtaking acceleration that transforms every trip into an emotionally charged experience. The athletic AMG design itself sets even the sportiest of hearts racing.

Exterior – stunning at first sight Just looking at it is an electrifying experience: from the AMG-specific bonnet design to the AMG spoiler lip on the boot lid, the CLS 63 AMG impresses with its hallmark, energetically expressive AMG aura. This vehicle combines the elegance of a coupé with the design of a sports car. Powerfully expressive design: the independent, broad front wings, the radiator grille with a single louvre and the striking AMG front apron together with the AMG-specific rear apron in diffuser look all spell pure energy. An exclusive note: All this momentum is underscored by the titanium-grey-painted, high-sheen 3-spoke AMG light-alloy wheels and the AMG sports exhaust system with chromed twin tailpipes. Dynamic details: The innovative LED high performance headlamps and the AMG-specific LED daytime running lamps integrated in the outer cooling air vents combine to an expressive image of dashing dynamism.
Interior – custom-designed dynamism One look at the interior of the CLS 63 AMG is all it takes to realise what the Mercedes-AMG experts mean by "custom-designed dynamism", for the interior of the CLS 63 AMG is an exciting blend of fine materials, refined craftsmanship and consistently sporty design. Full control: At the heart of the cockpit is the AMG DRIVE UNIT with E-SELECT selector lever, which can be used for individual control of transmission modes, ESP® functions and suspension setups. Above this is the new AMG Performance 3-spoke steering wheel with flattened top and bottom sections, equipped with silver-coloured aluminium shift paddles, and the AMG instrument cluster with AMG main menu including RACETIMER and AMG start-up display. All-round premium quality Ergonomic AMG sports seats in nappa leather, brushed stainless steel for the AMG door sill panels and the AMG sports pedals, which also feature non-slip rubber studs. For the sporting eye: Black piano lacquer trim and an analogue clock in exclusive IWC design complete the impression of style-conscious sportiness.
Technology – Motorsport technology for everyday use The new AMG V8 biturbo engine is a compelling proposition thanks to its exciting dynamism as well as its efficiency, which is quite extraordinary for a vehicle in this performance class. Ample power reserves: As you would expect of a Mercedes-AMG, with the optional AMG Performance package it can deliver up to 410 kW rated output and torque of 800 Nm, giving a characteristically powerful sound as it does so. Efficient sportiness: Fuel consumption is low for a vehicle in this performance class and is made possible through, amongst other features, direct petrol injection with spray-guided combustion; twin turbochargers; alternator management; and the Controlled Efficiency drive program incorporating a stop/start function. Imperceptible gearshifts: The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission impresses through the sporty, direct and agile responsiveness of manual transmission combined with the comfort and ease of operation of automatic transmission. In addition to the Race Start function and automatic double-declutching function, the sports transmission also offers four individual drive programs ranging from energy-efficient to sporty. They make it possible to change gear in less than 100 milliseconds. Excellent roadholding: The AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension incorporates a new, broader front axle, which gives noticeably improved lateral dynamics. The electronically-controlled damping system makes it possible to opt - in the blink of an eye - either for the greatest possible agility or for the utmost driving comfort. The new AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension is impressive also because of the individuality it allows: the driver can choose between the "comfort", "sport" and "sport plus" suspension modes.
