The second generation of this pioneering must remain faithful to its genetic code and the spirit of the first CLS, while surprising and innovative. This is the sketch of Hubert Lee, the young leader of the Korean stylist California studio, which was accepted. Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2012Â recognizes its arc file that the tip of the headlights to the rear wings curved and its sculpted flanks. The grille is straight like the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2012Â and carries the great star of the sports brand. This new figure is almost baroque in the first glance, but we made it fast with a CLS ahead.
The two current models are renewed, but their name has no link with the engine capacity. The CLS 550 and CLS 63 AMG are actually new V8-powered turbocharged 4.6 and 5.5 liters. These propulsion will be joined in the fall by a CLS 550 4Matic, who became the first four-wheel drive in this series. A CLS 63 AMG wheel drive should follow within two years.
Simple and classic luxury Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2012
The interior has been designed by German designers. The dashboard is also in the classic style of the brand, but the presentation is richer and sports in the E-Class CLS which again share the basic architecture. However, they emit a feeling of greater strength can be explained among other things by a percentage of high-strength steel, which rose from 45 to 70% in the manufacture of the hull.
Engines anthology Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2012
The CLS 550 and CLS 63 AMG are driven by different versions of a new V8 twin-cam, twin turbo and direct injection. He is the first 4.6-liter engine and delivers 402 horsepower at 5,000 rev / min and 443 lb-ft of torque at 1 800 r / min. Mated to a 7-speed automatic, it propels the CLS 550 to 100 km / h in 5.2 seconds. One tenth more for 4Matic, heavier than 110 pounds. The top speed is 210 km / h for both.
The V8 in the CLS 63 is assembled by hand – as always with AMG – 518 horsepower and pulls to 5250 r / min and 516 lb-ft of torque at 1700 rev / min its 5.5 liters. These ratings pass 550 horsepower and 590 lb-ft with the “AMG Performance Package” that increase pressure turbos and comes with red calipers for brakes, AMG sports steering wheel, sport suspension adjustable, forged aluminum wheels and a motor cover carbon fiber.
Beautiful beasts Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2012
The sound of these engines is fabulous acceleration and despite all the cavalry, their consumption is significantly improved with a reduction of 25% for the CLS 550 and 27.8% for the CLS 63.
Better yet, the handling of the two models is perfectly up to their performance. Their braking too, that says it all. Plumb and total control are the characteristics that come to mind, even on the ribbon twisted and full of undulations of the famous “Highway 1″ north of San Francisco.
One can certainly offer the same in some new turbocharged coupe and sedan E-Class, Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2012Â but occupy a unique niche in terms of style, behavior and performance. They expect their rivals the most ambitious farm tire.
