A superb design, maximum efficiency and breakthrough performance: this is the new Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is all about.
The version of high-end four-door coupe is equipped with the new AMG V8 biturbo engine with a maximum power of up to 557 hp and 800 Nm of torque and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7 - speed sports. In addition, the vehicle's fuel consumption 28.5 mpg is an improvement of 32 percent over the previous model (all figures provisional).
The combination of the AMG sports suspension with a Ride Control system, electronically controlled damping and new front axle, newly developed AMG sports parameter electromechanical steering, and also optional AMG high-performance brake system with ceramic composite, is synonymous with maximum driving dynamics. Visually, Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG impresses with its athletic stance and exterior and interior. The model is the standard specification also includes the performance of the innovative LED headlights high.
"The new CLS63 AMG continues the success story of the previous models, the CLS55 AMG CLS63 AMG and that have delighted our customers around the world since 2004," said Ola K�llenius, head of Mercedes-AMG GmbH. "The CLS63 AMG is a unique high performance car - that sets new standards in design, performance and efficiency."

The biggest difference between the two power units, an increase in the charge air pressure up to 1.0 to 1.3 bar. In addition, the CLS63 AMG with the AMG Performance package to a basket of particularly high quality carbon fiber.
Quantum Leap: reduced consumption by 32 percent
Despite a significant increase in performance over the previous model, which was aspirated AMG 6.3-liter V8 produces 514 hp and 630 Nm of torque, the new Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is about 32 per cent cheaper - that is a quantum leap.
Exclusive: AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed sports
A significant contribution to higher consumption readings are made AMG Speedshift MCT 7-speed sports, one part is used exclusively for the Mercedes-AMG. Unlike conventional automatic transmissions, the transmission torque converter MCT deleted, but uses a compact, wet start-up clutch. Equipped with the standard equipment is a stop / start function is always active in the transmission Controlled Efficiency ("C") and eight-cylinder mode turns off when the car stops. At the same time, the state "C" is the answer "soft" accelerator and the early establishment of a more comfortable passage, departures usually occurs in second gear. Green "ECO" a symbol of the AMG instrument cluster displays the driver that the stop / start function is activated.
Engine and transmission come across as much more agile, "S" (Sport), "S +" (Sport plus) and "M" (Manual), as well as a stop / start function is disabled. In the "S" and "M" modes, the engine management system to prevent some cylinders: the suspension of ignition and fuel injection means at full load even faster than before moving. Very emotional song is an interesting side effect of this instantaneous process. Automatic double-clutch detachment Race and START function are standard.
Independently developed AMG sports suspension Ride Control
Developed independently of the front axle, with a roadway that is 24 mm wider, is the perfect partner for a new design parameter electromechanical AMG sports steering wheel. It 'not only the features that adapts to variable power assistance depending on the loss-of-state, but also help reduce consumption, because the steering assistance system draws power only when the vehicle is actually directed. A 3-stage ESP � also have individual setting options - offering a distinct advantage when it comes to driving pleasure, combined with absolute safety.
AMG high-performance brake system optional ceramic composite material
Perfect deceleration, even when you run very hard to ensure the AMG high-performance braking system with 360 mm, internally ventilated and perforated brake discs varied. Very resistant, an engine tested composite technology used for the front axle. An optional AMG high-performance ceramic composite brake system for an even larger brake discs to ensure even greater stopping power and less unsprung mass. A good contact with the road, in turn, provided the titanium coated, polished AMG alloy wheels with a new three-spoke design, and equipped with tires 255/35 R 19 front and 285/30 R 19 rear tires.
The highest level of technique is also reflected in the new CLS63 AMG: the intelligent lightweight construction is an important contribution to the resolution of conflicting objectives classic light weight and high strength. As SLS AMG Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is also equipped with doors with a genuine aluminum construction. They are made of aluminum panels with deep drawn extrusions, and is about 24 kg less compared to conventional steel doors. Moreover, helmet, wing, tail, rear deck, supporting various departments and large parts of the chassis and engine, all-aluminum, too.
Light years: high-performance LED headlights as standard
Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is the first car in the world to offer LED headlights, high performance, which combines exciting elements of the color of LED technology - the same day, running lights - with the functionality of performance and energy efficiency of the present generation of bi-xenon headlights. Standard equipment for the first time in this new lighting system offers the Intelligent Light System Mercedes already proven to have bi-xenon headlights with LED technology. Headlights, with their 71 LED lamps emphasize the unmistakable look of a total of CLS63 AMG. Lighting experts, Mercedes-Benz is the first time able to use LED technology, the Adaptive Assist beam, the result of a new level of safety when driving at night.
Unlike the first cars equipped with LED lights, no compromise is needed now in terms of functionality and technology of lighting performance. There are additional arguments for technology-based LED lighting news: the average lifespan of an LED is approximately 10,000 hours, about five times longer than a xenon lamp, and also LED best fit headlights color temperature of daylight. This means that LED lighting is compatible with the normal human perception. Studies have shown that the more the color of artificial light is the light of day, the less pressure there is on the eyes. With a color temperature of 5,500 Kelvin, LED light close to daylight (6500 K) and xenon light (4200 K). LED daytime specific AMG is also presented in two characteristic bands of light integrated into the AMG front apron.
When viewed from the front, the new Mercedes CLS63 AMG developer associations with SLS AMG - grille in particular, with his big Mercedes star and wing-shaped horizontal slats, seems to have been inspired by GullWing. The high-end model differs from the AMG CLS other variants with its distinctive hood, a larger screen "biturbo V8" logo apron and a dedicated AMG front cross member with a painted black. Attractive features on the back cover diffuser insert, the AMG spoiler lip on the tailgate, the AMG sports exhaust system with two twin chrome tailpipes, and - who also played at the SLS AMG - rear fog built. AMG style fits perfectly with the silhouette typical CLS, which is mainly characterized by long elegant proportions, the line of side ditches and the line of motorsports as muscular shoulders of the rear axle.
The exclusive atmosphere inside
This philosophy also continues through constant inside. All AMG specific design options and the appointment ideal complement to the CLS redesigned interior. The wraparound effect in the cockpit, with its high line extending from the driver's door using the dashboard and front passenger door is generously lined with high quality finishing elements - available in piano lacquer black standard in top-of-the-AMG model range. Quality materials and workmanship meets the highest standards and provide a special atmosphere unique.
The wide range of standard appointments includes AMG sports seats in nappa leather, a new AMG three-spoke steering wheel with aluminum shift paddles performance and a flat top and bottom, and the AMG DRIVE UNIT with compact E- SELECT selector lever.
New driver assistance systems: more security
More than a dozen driving assistance systems on the new CLS help prevent accidents and reduce the severity of an accident. Active Blind Spot Assist and Active Lane Keeping Assist is new.
Active Blind Spot Help alerts the driver if it detects - with the help of sensors, short-range radar - there is a danger of collision if the vehicle is about to change lanes. If the driver ignores warnings and is dangerously close to car in the next lane, Active Blind Spot Assistance will intervene. By applying braking force to the wheels on the opposite side of the vehicle through the Electronic Stability Program ESP �, a script is created which opposes the collision.
Design and equipment: the only sport style - a true AMG
Typically, exclusive, unique - the design of the new CLS63 AMG can be described in brief. The position occupied by the extraordinary high performance four-door coupe is evident the moment you laid eyes on her. High quality materials, extensive standard equipment and a dynamic atmosphere typical of AMG, the basic elements of the redesigned interior.
Externally, high-end model of the CLS AMG differs from other variants as a consequence of some visual changes. The front view is dominated by the distinctive grille, three-dimensional shape that is very similar to the SLS AMG. The large Mercedes star grille and prominent wing-shaped horizontal slats with chrome trim are just evocative butterfly model. The long hood with its V-shaped contours suggests the powerful package that is here.
AMG front apron is also distinctly powerful: by shooting at the side vents with black grilles - flanked with LED daytime running lights - and air intake unit with black-painted cross strut, there is a real turn head characteristic. Another highlight of the front LED headlights high performance. The distinctive AMG front apron with elegance continues in broad wings, incorporating "twin-turbo V8" logo. The side view - which is defined by an innovative interaction between lines and regions, the "drip line" side and also the wide passages Wheel-set - will receive an extra touch of dynamism courtesy titanium gray painted bright AMG light-alloy offers a new triple-branches. Filigree rays also give an overview of the generously dimensioned AMG high-performance brake system.
Strongly shaped the back of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG is equally matched by the car in front and side views: AMG rear apron Profile exciting speaker with a black insert also includes a chromed twin tailpipes and the AMG sports exhaust system as well as a rear fog. Bicolor large curved rear lights are LED technology and a large metal insert to make more visual detail.
AMG lip spoiler on the harmoniously integrated tailgate reduces the lift on the rear axle by about 26 percent, and further improve handling at high speed.
The exceptional quality of interior finishes
The same goes for the leather AMG sports seats in nappa leather with cross stitch design feature sports a surface quality that is very soft to the touch, so any trip to the experience of Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG particular nice. The driver and front passenger are accommodated separately, newly developed AMG sports seats with electric adjustment functions of variable shape and memory, heated seats and AMG cards. All elements inside the driver is in contact are finished in leather. Three skin colors, namely black, gray and almond beige alpaca, are available to choose from. The two individual rear seats are designed to match the front AMG sport seats.
The new AMG performance wheel steering with its three branches, shift paddles of aluminum, flat upper and lower sections and the gripping area specially shaped perforated leather. The airbag cover in three dimensions is embedded in a metal finish in the "Silver Shadow", talked down, which has an open design. Twelve multifunction buttons used to control all the functions of infotainment. A highlight is the high quality analog clock with a "IWC Ingenieur" design situated between the mouths of the center.
Colorful, three-dimensional display with AMG logo welcome
The three instruments in the form of round tube cabin behind the wheel to provide information on the coolant temperature and the tank capacity (left), the speed of highway speed (center) and motor (right). A highlight of the instrumentation CLS63 AMG is the exclusive three-dimensional color TFT screen in the center of the speedometer, which welcomes the driver with the AMG logo to hit the driver's door open. The circular instruments come with a new look, red needles, a tachymeter scale 320 kmh and also have an "AMG" and "V8 Biturbo" logo.
The AMG DRIVE UNIT, which is inclined towards the driver, allows individual settings to be selected for the MCT sports transmission, ESP � functions, suspension settings and transmission methods AMG.

The CLS63 AMG Mercedes-Benz also occupies a unique position in the field of suspension and braking system. The unique combination of AMG Sports Suspension Ride Control, the parameters of electromechanical steering and sporty AMG high-performance AMG braking system ensures a high level of driving dynamics, agility and impressive at the same time, the Mercedes class comfort on long trips.
CLS63 AMG For, the AMG engineers developed a new ride AMG sports suspension CONTROL is characterized by a high degree of variability. A suspension of steel used in the front, and a set of all-air suspension at the rear. This solution ensures a sensitive response of the front springs when the vehicle is kept at a constant height through the automatic control system of level - regardless of load. The top of the line AMG CLS Unlike other variants with three newly developed link front suspension with a wider track - increased by 24 mm to 1623 mm, compared with the CLS 500. Along with the new center for companies negative slope in front, gives much more grip when cornering at high speed.
Another feature of the Control is an AMG sports suspension around with electronic damping control: damping properties as soon as the system varies depending on the driving situation, the speed and load conditions, reducing the inclination of the body. The driver, this means an instant, infinitely adjustable between the maximum agility and good ride quality - depending on driving style and location. Damping can be adjusted individually by pressing the corresponding button to use a part of the AMG. Touch of a button is all it takes to move the mail, "Comfort" and "Sport" or "Sports Plus". The selected mode displays the AMG instrument cluster.
"Comfort" to produce a sensitive response to the soft damping shock when the response is on average 40 percent stronger in the "Sports". "Sports Plus" is a challenging circuit turn: in addition to higher levels of damping, this mode is the specific control algorithms which are clearly tailored to a sporty driving style at the road surface. Driving dynamics of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG can be updated even further from the factory: the exclusive options available on the AMG Performance Studio and includes a stiffer suspension performance, light AMG forged alloy wheels and rear axle differential lock with 40 percent locking action.
Eleven sensors for electronic control of damping
The electronic damping control uses four sensors to continuously monitor the drive and braking torque and steering angle and lateral acceleration. Four position sensors are also used to determine the height of the body and determine the direction of motion. Three acceleration sensors help identify the absolute roll. Control electronics constantly interacting with the powerful motor and control units to adjust the instantaneous transmission of the forces of the four shock absorbers.
The components of the new axle, and a more direct control
The high quality components of the axle is mainly aluminum, is further evidence carefully reviewed the AMG sports suspension Ride Control. New steering rockets, triangles, damper bearings and main bearings torque to the front for added stability and improved road contact. Reduced weight, thicker tubular stabilizers reduces body roll on fast curves S. The rear suspension has also been substantially reworked in the interests of improved handling stability: new track rods, push-pull rods and more rigid attachment to the chassis - like the rear axle is fitted - reflect the increased dynamics in the swing . AMG specific kinematics and elastokinematics news on two trees was also significantly increased accuracy in the bends - a solution that has already proven itself on the C63 AMG.
More direct relationship with a new electro-mechanical control
The new control system, control devices and support form the servo motor in one compact unit and mounted as previously extremely rigid and lightweight support for a fixed frame, made of high strength steel, which is located in front of the center line of motion. Unit of effective control processes captured by sensors of different parameters - such as vehicle speed, steering angle, speed, steering angle, lateral acceleration and understeer / oversteer characteristics - fraction of a second and calculates the forces necessary to driver to enter the control of a variety of driving situations - where parking is at high speed on the highway. Active damping system to enhance the feeling of safety when driving at high speed in a straight line.
AMG solutions to improve the driving dynamics and steering precision
AMG-specific solution has been implemented in the form of fixed, programmed characteristics assistance. In standby mode "C", setting the direction AMG sport has a pleasant feeling, which gives a higher degree of management support. In "S +" mode, on the other hand, the driver detects a reduced power steering - which tends to lead to a better road feel. The result is an enhanced and steering precision. Another exclusive AMG is the interaction between the new governance and 3-stage ESP �: the driver would feel if the car starts to understeer, thanks to a superposition of a specific time management earlier than one conventional power steering system. In "ESP SPORT" and "ESP OFF" special control algorithm helps the driver achieve a cleaner skid angle.
In addition to more precise steering feel and a more pleasant driving, the new electric power steering to a number of additional benefits. The electric assist is available when the engine is stationary, for example - where an algorithm ensures that the combustion engine is required to start the ECO start / stop mode when the driver is simply moving the wheel while the car is stationary. The new system also allowed the implementation of "Active Park Assist" automatic parking function and reducing the load of the driver on road surfaces that descend away from the curb.
The new steering system also assists braking on a surface with a different grip (split the friction surface). Yaw sensors to recognize the imminent if the vehicle begins to veer to the side of the street with the most grip. Thanks to the superposition of a time control the driver gets a boost from countersteer. If he / she acts on the signal, the timing is eliminated. Display the address in the exchange of friction surfaces can help improve directional stability and also to shorten the braking time.
3-stage ESP � with sports function
The three floors of the ESP � is constantly adapting to the excellent driving dynamics of the AMG CLS63: electronic stability program supports three individual control strategies with the touch of a button: the ESP � button that AMG DRIVE UNIT allows the driver to choose between "ESP ON", "ESP Sport" and "ESP OFF" - the currently active profile is shown in the AMG instrument cluster. In "ESP ON", the onset of handling instability leads to braking intervention of one or more of the wheels, accompanied by a reduction in engine torque.
Briefly pressing the ESP � button activates "ESP SPORT". In this mode the braking intervention to prevent or understeer, and the reduction of engine torque, allows a higher threshold and dynamic, for example, corresponding drift angles - which significantly enhances the driving experience. Operating the brake pedal restores all normal ESP � functions. Prolonged pressure on the ESP key activates � "ESP OFF". Therefore, the driving dynamics, no longer reduces the engine's torque - with the result that the driving pleasure is increased even more. "ESP OFF" should only be used by experienced drivers are dedicated to the slopes. In this mode, also operates the brake pedal restores all the normal functions of ESP �.
The logic of the drive system is active in all three modes of ESP �. If one wheel begins to spin, specific brake pressure is applied to virtually create the effect of a mechanical differential lock. This means that the engine power is transmitted to the road more effectively.
New ceramic composite high-performance braking optional
As you would expect from an AMG high-performance car, the new CLS63 AMG Mercedes-Benz also comes with an ultra powerful braking system. The brake discs ventilated and perforated with a generous 360 mm diameter front and rear mount. Due to the constraints they face, front discs equipped with composite technology that has been proven in racing to help offset the maximum temperature more efficiently. Brake calipers painted gray with white letters AMG six-piston (front) and four-piston technology (rear) provide resistance response, fade and the slowdown in extremely short braking distances.
Ceramic Composite AMG high-performance brakes are optional and are instantly recognizable thanks to the "Carbon Ceramic AMG" logo on the calipers. Thanks to special materials and production technologies used to manufacture sheets of carbon fiber-reinforced ceramic vacuum level in 1700, the ceramic discs are much more difficult. This not only increases the time of many services beyond life than the cast iron plate, but also for their durability in the presence of extreme loads and heat. The result is a very short distance braking pressure point precise, and much greater resistance to fade under extreme conditions of use. Large ceramic plates - front: 402 x 39 mm, rear: 360 x 32 mm - composite project will also contain an aluminum bowl and the float radially.
Compared with conventional composite brake discs are ceramic brake discs by approximately 40 percent lighter. The further reduction of unsprung weight not only improves driving dynamics and agility, but also improves steering response and ride comfort and contact properties. Six-piston fixed front mounted with a brake lining surface of 2 x 154 cm2, four-piston fixed with a brake lining surface of 2 x 73 cm2 are used on the back.
Many features on the high-performance braking system improves comfort and safety. Take HOLD practice: If CLS63 AMG came to a stop, the driver simply has to press the brake pedal a little firmer. Vehicle is now held by the brake - even if the driver takes his foot off the brake. This prevents the vehicle from rolling forward unintentionally stop-and-go traffic or accidentally fall into the rise. HOLD function is automatically disabled when the vehicle is driven. Another useful feature is shaped like a hill start assist. If the sensor system detects that the driver has stopped on a slope, the brake pressure is automatically kept constant in a short period. This means that the CLS will not roll back and the driver has sufficient time to transition from brake to accelerator without using the handbrake.
If the driver suddenly changes the accelerator to the brake pedal before the emergency brake, the brake system increases the pressure in the lines and brake discs, brake pads, so they can hold full-time as soon as the brake pedal is pressed. The system supports standard-fit Brake Assist, the use of this 'priming'. Other standard features include a brake-drying feature that will be used to ensure short braking impulses to the film of water is removed wet disc brakes, which greatly improves the responsiveness of the brakes.
Weight-optimized "flow-forming" AMG alloy wheels
The new AMG light-alloy make a significant contribution to the dynamic management of the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG. As the SLS AMG, they are produced by the new "flow-forming" process. During this manufacturing process makes the hot forming in the area of ??the base of the rim of a structure of denser material and therefore improve the long-term sustainability. It also means that the lower wall thicknesses can be achieved. The weight savings of up to 0.8 kg compared with the conventional wheel alloy wheels reduce unsprung weight, the dynamic handling and further improved driving comfort.
Coupe comes standard with titanium gray painted wheels with polished surface and the new three-spoke design. 9.0 x 19 format, the front wheels are equipped with tires 255/35 R 19 format, while the size 19 x 10, the rear wheels are size 285/30 R 19 tires. Available as an accessory from AMG Performance Studio is the AMG forged alloy wheels are 5 double-spoke, painted and polished titanium. It is 255/35 R 19 (front) and 285/30 R 19 (rear) wide tires.
