2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG US Version


2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG US Version. Exciting design, best performance and breakthrough efficiency: this is what the new Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is all about. The top-version-of-range four-door coupe is equipped with newly developed V8 engine AMG biturbo, with peak power exceeding 557 hp and 800 Nm of torque and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7 - speed sports transmission. In addition, vehicle fuel consumption of 28.5 mpg mean an increase of 32 percent compared to the previous model (all numbers are temporary).

Combination RIDE CONTROL AMG sports suspension with electronically controlled damping system and new front axle, newly developed AMG sports parameter electromechanical power steering, and an optional AMG high-performance ceramic composite brake system, is identical with the maximum driving dynamics. Visually, Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG impresses with athletic design, distinctive exterior and interior. The standard model specification also includes a high performance LED lights are innovative.

"The new CLS63 AMG remains the success of previous models, CLS55 AMG and CLS63 AMG, which pleased our customers around the world since 2004," said Ola Källenius, head of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. "The CLS63 AMG is a unique high-performance vehicle - it sets a new standard in design, performance and efficiency."

Like the S63 AMG and CL63 AMG, the driver of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG will benefit from eight-cylinder engine, internally referred to as AD 157: a new AMG 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine provides a combination of innovative hi-tech components, in addition to spray-injection gasoline guided directly with piezo injectors, aluminum crankcase is full, four valves per cylinder camshaft adjustment, air / water intercooling, the management of the generator and stop / start system. With a 5461 cc displacement, eight-cylinder engine gives a maximum output of 525 hp and 700 Nm of torque. In combination with AMG performance package, this increases the number to 557 hp and 800 Nm. Both variants of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG to achieve exceptional performance: acceleration from! 0-62 mph takes 4.4 seconds and 4.3, respectively, and top speed is 155 km / h (electronically limited).

The main difference between the two power supplies to increase the filling pressure from 1.0 to 1.3 bar maximum air. In addition, the CLS63 AMG with AMG performance package includes a special cover of high quality carbon fiber engine.

Despite a significant increase in performance compared with the previous model, which is a 6.3-liter AMG V8 engine produces atmospheric 630 hp and 514 Nm of torque, the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG only about 32 percent efficient - what a quantum leap forward.

Important contribution to achieving an unprecedented consumption is by transmission AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports, components that are used exclusively for Mercedes-AMG. Unlike a conventional automatic transmission, remove torque converter transmission MCT, not use, compact wet start-up clutch. Standard equipment is equipped with a stop / start function: it is permanently active in the transmission efficiency of a Controlled (C) mode, eliminating the eight-cylinder engine when the car stops. At the same time, "C" mode also means "soft" accelerator with comfortable switch and start to repair the road, drive generally occur in second gear. A green "eco" symbol in the AMG instrument cluster gives the driver stop / start feature is active.

Engine and transmission come across as more maneuverability in the "S" (Sport), S + "(Sport plus) and M (Manual), in addition, the stop / start function is disabled. The" S "and" M "mode, cylinder engine management system of partial pressure: .. interference from ignition and injection at full load conditions leading to faster switching from the previously highly emotional vocals are an interesting side effect of the rapid process of automatic double A RACE START function and decoupling functions also included as standard.

Suspension, steering and braking of the new CLS63 AMG perfectly complement the high-tech drive. RIDE CONTROL AMG sports suspension with steel struts at the front strut and air on the rear axle and automatic level control further enhanced by the electronically controlled damping, the damping automatically adjusts depending on driving conditions and reduce the angle of the body's role. The result: rapid adjustment between ride comfort and agility of the best. The driver can switch between the three branches of suspension "Comfort", "Sport" and "Sports Plus" press the button.

This philosophy remains consistent through the interior. All AMG-specific designs and the promise, the ideal complement to the new CLS interior. The wrap-around effect in the cockpit, with high line running from the driver's door on the dashboard support and generous front passenger door flanked by elements of high-quality trim - available in piano black lacquer as the standard model top-of-the-range AMG. Quality materials and workmanship meet the highest standards and help ensure a very exclusive atmosphere.
