Default The CLS just got 4 more cylinders and two turbos ! ! !

Mercedes-Benz CLS 65 AMG






Like the S-class, the 4-door coupe will soon be available as the CLS 65, powered by the same 612-bhp 6.0 liter bi-turbo V12 used in the S Class and SL-Class.

And like all the top AMGs, it’ll be getting the Performance optic with the new bumper and the additional air-intakes in front of the wheel arches.

If it is based off a modified E-Class wouldnt it make sense that they put the 63 engine in it, like they did with the E class?

Yeah, I heard that all of the new AMG cars will go w/ the NA 6.2 Liter (6203cc) engine?

Not the G-Class. Not sure about the SL-either.

I bet its a pic of a CLS63 we see. WCF is hardly well-known for being correct about these stuff.

I´ve never heard about that the "big" engine will be fitted to the CLS, so i can´t confirm that. I think its a fake. And btw, even then it would never reach the unbelievable power of the 730hp Brabus rocket

Those are very very old pics of more than likely an early CLS55 with 030 package test car.
