FROM ZERO TO 100 KM/H IN 3.6 SECONDS

Accelerating from zero to 100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, theCLS 63 AMG S-Model leaves all the competitors behind. Performance on a par with a sports car and superlative emotive appeal are combined with hallmark Mercedes everyday practicality, space for up to five passengers, and a large, variable luggage compartment. The S-Models come as standard with performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive; 4MATIC is available as an option for the other variants.

Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Board of Management of Mercedes-AMG GmbH: “The CLS 63 AMG in its Coupé and Shooting Brake guise is now even more dynamic, and the new design makes it more striking. With a power output of up to 430 kW (585 hp) and AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive, the CLS 63 AMGtakes pole position in the driving dynamics stakes.”
TWIN BLADE AND A WING AS HALLMARK AMG DESIGN FEATURES

Twin blade and A Wing are the names of the striking, hallmark AMG design features on the front section, which now also make the CLS 63 AMG instantly recognizable. The “Twin blade” radiator grille in silver chrome comes with characteristic AMG lettering between the louvers. This three-dimensional “A-Wing” air-ducting element spans the entire width of the front apron and displays the stylized “A” that is a hallmark of AMG vehicles. 

The “A-Wing” painted in the body color with silver chrome trim strip provides the framework for the three large intake air apertures – rekindling memories of motorsport. Black flics on the side air intakes optimize the flow of air to the cooling modules. 

In combination with the new, futuristic, standard-fit MULTIBEAM LED headlamps, the front section of the CLS 63 AMG symbolizes pure dynamism and performance. The powerful AMG V8 flagship models are also now more visually differentiated from the other CLS models. Viewed from the side, the distinctive, flared wings catch the eye; V8 BITURBO lettering bears testimony to the superior engine output.

The rear section also leaves its lasting mark: side, visual air outlets and the black diffuser insert with pronounced fins lend the CLS 63 AMG a powerful racetrack touch. 
The AMG Sport exhaust system with two chromed twin tailpipe trims provides an acoustic and visual highlight. AMG triple-spoke alloy wheels fill the wheel arches to perfection. Size 255/35 R 19 tires on 9.0 x 19 wheels are fitted to the front, while the rear comes with 285/30 R 19 tires on 10 x 19 wheels.
EVEN MORE INDIVIDUALITY EX-FACTORY

Three new packages are now available for the CLS 63 AMG. Customers therefore have even more choice when it comes to fulfilling their personal preferences:

• AMG Night package (A-Wing on the front apron with trim strip, side sill panel inserts, exterior mirror housings and window frames in high-gloss black, from 12/2014: privacy glazing)

• AMG Carbon-Fiber package I (A-wing on the front apron, side sill panel inserts and diffuser insert on the rear apron in carbon fiber)

• AMG Carbon-Fiber package II (exterior mirror housings and AMG spoiler lip on Coupé in carbon fiber)

New lightweight, forged AMG alloy wheels are also available as an option. The wheels in the attractive cross-spoke design and central-locking look are available in titanium grey/high-sheen or matt black with high-sheen rim flange.
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY: THE AMG 5.5-LITRE V8 BITURBO ENGINE

410 kW (557 hp) to 430 kW (585 hp) and 720 to 800 Nm – the AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine ranks among the world's most efficient series-production eight-cylinder engines when it comes to peak output, torque and fuel consumption. The CLS 63 AMGwith 410 kW (557 hp) and rear-wheel drive consumes 9.9 liters per 100 kilometers (NEDC combined; 231 grams CO2 per kilometer). The variant with 410 kW and performance-oriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive and the S-Model with 430 kW (585 hp) and all-wheel drive come in only slightly above at 10.4 to 10.6 liters per 100 km (243 grams to 248 grams CO2/km). All CLS 63 AMG models already meet the second stage of the EU6 emissions standard. 
AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-SPEED SPORTS TRANSMISSION RESPONDS EVEN FASTER

The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission is the ideal partner for the powerful V8 biturbo engine. Equipped with the four drive modes “C” (Controlled Efficiency), “S” (Sport), “S+” (Sport plus) and “M” (Manual), the ECO start/stop function and RACE START, the power transmission offers the ultimate in variability and tailor-made dynamism.
The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission now offers even faster response times: a manual up- or downshift – initiated by the driver on the steering-wheel gearshift paddle – is completed even more immediately than ever before. Particularly in the “S+” and “M” shift modes the power transmission now responds much faster. The tangible driving dynamics are thus enhanced further. This increased immediacy was made possible by optimizing the transmission hardware and software. The aluminum shift paddles on the new AMG performance steering wheel can transfer the driver's manual gearshift instructions even faster than before.
