How Bertha Benz sacrificed her hairstyle for the sake of progress

The wife of Carl Benz the inventor of the motor car could hardly have suspected that she was using the first emergency tool in the history of the motor car when she was doing her hair on the morning of a beautiful August day in 1888. Without telling her husband, Bertha Benz drove the patent motor car from Mannheim to Pforzheim to visit her mother. Sons Eugen (15) and Richard (14) accompanied her on the journey of over 100 kilometres, which would make history because of the courage, skill and pioneering spirit which were needed.

Thats because the worlds first motor car had never before completed this distance on a single trip. Bertha Benz, however, knew what to do in practically any situation. Even when the petrol line in the patent motor car suddenly became blocked due to the poor fuel quality: My hairpin came in very handy. By sacrificing her hairstyle, Bertha Benz demonstrated the everyday practicality of the motor car: a stroke of marketing genius which heralded the future of mobility.

The future is looking at us with red, green and blue eyes

The face of a car its front section conveys an impression of its character, its temperament and its penchant for speed. For this reason, the ideal headlamp shape should resemble the human eye. In the past, however, designers were prevented from achieving this ideal due to the constraints of technology. But now a technological revolution has changed all this: LED headlamps. The powerful, fast-reacting and individually controllable light-emitting diodes in the additive primary colours red, green and blue open up exciting, new dimensions in design and make it possible to produce even more emotive and exciting forms. But the new lighting technology does not just enhance looks. It also improves the drivers visibility. Thats because the light produced by the LEDs has a colour temperature of 5500 degrees Kelvin the same as average daylight. And since the human eye has adapted itself to sunlight during the course of evolution, our eyes perceive LED light as exceptionally pleasant.

BlueEFFICIENCY fast forward to tomorrow

Mercedes-Benz is quicker at getting future technologies to where they matter most: on the road. This is why, as early as the end of 2010, we will be able to offer you over 85 Mercedes-Benz models which place far less of a burden on the environment. Our BlueEFFICIENCY concept comprises innovations for efficient mobility as well as optimised processes all the way along the value chain. The BlueEFFICIENCY measures the Mercedes-Benz efficiency package. This package consists of comprehensive vehicle optimisations designed to ease the burden on the environment. Each model combines the most efficient engine with latest-generation, intelligent aerodynamic and energy-management measures. Such measures include the ECO start/stop function, which is being made available for an increasing number of models. The new BlueDIRECT V6 and V8 petrol engines in the S-Class, CL-Class and CLS-Class, for example, reduce fuel consumption by up to 24% yet have a much higher power output.

BlueTEC the clean diesel. A modular emission-control system makes BlueTEC an exceptionally clean diesel technology. As well as removing 95% of the particulate, it also reduces nitrogen oxides by up to 90%. All that remains is essentially water and harmless nitrogen. HYBRID the intelligent combination of petrol and electric drive. Here the electric motor can be used both for accelerating and for recuperating braking energy, which is stored in the battery. Whats more, the ECU shuts off the petrol engine when the speed falls below 15 km/h. In this way, a HYBRID can reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%. BlueTEC HYBRID clean diesel combined with electric drive. It marries the benefits of the HYBRID with those of BlueTEC: during braking, the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy, which can be re-used when required. At the same time, the BlueTEC technology cleans the exhaust gases and removes many of the pollutants. All of which makes the economical diesel powerplant even more efficient and clean.

Innovative drive systems that break new ground: E-CELL and F-CELL. We have developed two locally emission-free drive systems which have been produced on a small scale since 2010. The B-Class F-CELL uses hydrogen to produce power for the el ectric motor, while the A-Class E-CELL draws its energy directly from two lithium-ion batteries. But that is not all: under the banner Design for Environment, we also look at a vehicles entire lifecycle and work hard to preserve the environment from the planning stage right through to recycling. In addition, we are heavily involved in the development of alternative fuels and carry out research in the field of bionics. More details about our comprehensive measures can be found at: www.mercedes-benz.com/blueefficiency

CLS-Class BlueEFFICIENCY
The CLS adopts a holistic approach, combining agility and dynamism with leading-edge efficiency technologies as well as innovative packages of measures aimed at optimising both fuel consumption and emissions.

4 7 3 8 2

When we develop a new model, responsibility for our environment plays a major role. Peoples awarness is increasing as emissions, fuel consumption and fuel prices become topics that affect us all. It is therefore only natural that the CLS-Class models are also BlueEFFICIENCY models (with the exception of the CLS 63 AMG). And, far from being just a vision of a clean environment, BlueEFFICIENCY incorporates a whole raft of specific measures:

1 Ancillaries with energy-saving control (oil, water and fuel pumps, 9 electromechanical steering) 2 Radiator shutter for CLS 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY and CLS 350 BlueEFFICIENCY 3 Alternator management with kinetic-energy recuperation 1 10 4 New BlueDIRECT V6 and V8 engine generation with direct petrol injection, plus biturbo charging for the CLS 500 5 Refrigerant compressor only activated when actually needed 6 Optimised aerodynamics (exterior-mirror housings, front apron, rear apron, underbody) 7 ECO start/stop function (not for CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY) 8 All engines comply with the Euro 5 emissions standard 9 Specially designed tyres for reduced rolling resistance 10 Optimised 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission

Diesel engines
Cleaner, more powerful and more economical: the new CLS also signals the launch of the latest Mercedes-Benz diesel technology. The engines are powerful and quiet. And they impress with their optimised emission and fuel-consumption figures.

4-cylinder in-line engine. The 4-cylinder diesel powerplant displays contemporary qualities, including an impressive peak torque of 500 Nm, low fuel consumption, low emissions, quiet operation and an output

of 150 kW, which is exceptionally high for this displacement class. This is made possible by a wealth of highly sophisticated technologies. The latest-generation common-rail diesel technology impresses by virtue of an injection pressure increased to 2000 bar, optimised combustion chambers and extremely precise piezo injectors. High torque is available in every engine speed range thanks to the high ignition pressure and the two-stage turbocharger, while the requisite refinement comes courtesy of two Lanchester balancer shafts. The ECO start/stop function stops the engine temporarily when the car comes to a halt, while optimised alternator management ensures consistent use of the engines coasting phases as well as the braking process in order to recuperate kinetic energy. Meanwhile the radiator shutter reduces the aerodynamic drag when the engine requires only moderate cooling. But that is not all: this

model also features integrated measures such as tyres with low rolling resistance, intelligently controlled ancillaries and optimised aerodynamics, all of which help to boost the cars efficiency sustainably. V6 engine. The CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY likewise places the emphasis on efficiency. The uprated and consumption-optimised V6 diesel engine develops 195 kW, making it the most powerful diesel drive system with common-rail technology for the new CLS. Precise and fast piezo injectors, a high injection pressure of up to 2000 bar and an optimised turbocharger combine to produce an immense peak torque of 620 Nm all of which adds up to effortlessly superior pulling power in all driving situations.

Petrol engines
The BlueDIRECT petrol engines were developed with the aim of substantially reducing fuel consumption and emissions without compromising on dynamism and ride comfort. The result: state-of-the-art engine technology which sets new standards.

V6 engine. Over 20% lower fuel consumption than the predecessor model and correspondingly lower CO2 emissions yet enhanced dynamics a neat way of summing up the new CLS 350 BlueEFFICIENCY. These advantages are primarily down to the latest-generation direct petrol injection from Mercedes-Benz, which operates using spray-guided combustion and highpressure injection by means of piezo injectors. Maximum output is 225 kW, while the peak torque of 370 Nm is available between 3500 and 5250 pm. In addition to the modified combustion process, further factors which help to reduce fuel consumption include the standard-fit ECO start/stop function, a new intake and exhaust system, controlled ancillaries, intelligent alternator management and consistently applied lightweight-design principles. Outstanding refinement is another of the new V6 engines hallmark traits.

The ECO start/ stop function can stop the engine temporarily when the car is at a standstill. On the other hand, performance credentials have been given a significant boost by the twin turbochargers and intercooler in the new CLS 500 BlueEFFICIENCY. A power output that has been upped to 300 kW, a substantially higher peak torque of 600 Nm on tap from just 1600 rpm, plus improved acceleration promise effortlessly superior motoring in almost any situation. So the new V8 boasts impressive power delivery even at low engine speeds, not to mention levels of quietness and refinement which are unique for an eight-cylinder unit. The turbochargers have been configured to provide high torque at low engine speeds over 40% more at 2000 rpm compared to the predecessor engine. All of which means that, to the driver, the new V8 unit feels as comfortable and superior as a much larger V8 naturally aspirated engine.

The top-of-the-range CLS-Class model is the CLS 63 AMG with a 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine developing up to 410 kW and 800 Nm. The V6 engine and the V8 units meet the requirements of the Euro 5 emissions standard.

Transmission
Whether it be an economical or a sporty driving style the 7G-TRONIC PLUS has been optimised in line with the model in which it is installed. Plus it is intuitive and ergonomic to use.

7G-TRONIC PLUS. The CLS is fitted as standard with the modified 7G-TRONIC PLUS 7-speed automatic transmission and the DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering column. Shift paddles on the steering wheel enable the driver to influence the gear changes. Seven forward gears allow optimum revs at all times, thus reducing fuel consumption. In city traffic especially, the 7-speed automatic transmission brings about a further reduction in fuel consumption thanks to the ECO start/stop function (not available for the CLS 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY), which stops the engine automatically when the car comes to a halt. The further improved electrohydraulic control unit, together with optimised engine and transmission software, further enhances gear-change dynamics

and shift quality. Whats more, the car responds more directly to the drivers use of the accelerator pedal.

Chassis & suspension

Whether you adopt a sporty or comfort-oriented driving style, the new CLS provides unbridled pleasure. Thats because the DIRECT CONTROL suspension or AIRMATIC air suspension allow you to adapt the cars handling qualities precisely in line with your needs.

DIRECT CONTROL suspension (standard for 4- and 6-cylinder models). The suspension with selective damping system combines agility with ride comfort. The vibration dampers adapt automatically in line with the current driving situation, thus enhancing both damping and the cars stability even on poor road surfaces. The DIRECT CONTROL suspension can also be optionally configured for out-and-out sports performance.

AIRMATIC (optional for 4- and 6-cylinder models, standard for 8-cylinder models). The AIRMATIC air suspension with adaptive vibration dampers adapts itself in line with the current road and driving conditions, thus reducing road roar and tyre vibration levels as well as enhancing active safety when compared with conventional steel suspension. The driver can select either comfortoriented or sporty settings manually. At high speed, the car is lowered automatically in order to improve driving stability, aerodynamics and fuel consumption.

Direct-Steer system (standard). The Direct-Steer system reduces the steering effort required by making the steering ratio increasingly more direct when negotiating tight bends or parking, for example. At high speeds, on the other hand, the emphasis is on straight-line stability, leading to improved vehicle agility and steering comfort. The electromechanical power assistance is reduced as the cars speed increases. Whats more, this configuration reduces consumption, since power is only required for the actual steering process.

Agility with a high level of comfort the DIRECT CONTROL suspension adjusts the shock absorbers automatically

AIRMATIC air suspension helps to maintain a constant ground clearance, even if the car is carrying a heavy load

Safe driving
Mercedes-Benz pursues a comprehensive safety philosophy: the integral safety concept. At its core lies the vision of accident-free driving. Numerous measures support the driver in critical situations and can help to prevent an accident.

ATTENTION ASSIST (standard). This innovative drowsiness-detection system is especially useful on long trips. At speeds of between 80 and 180 km/h, ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver as soon as it detects signs of drowsiness or inattention. Sensors analyse driving behaviour and can detect deviations from a previously determined, individual driver profile.

Night View Assist Plus (optional). The central display highlights the entire area normally covered by main beam, as recorded by the Night View Assist systems infrared camera, in the form of a greyscale image making it easier for drivers to get their bearings in situations where main beam cannot be switched on and allowing them to react quicker to people, animals or objects detected on or next to the road.

Lane Tracking package (optional). Lane Keeping Assist can detect a traffic lane based on the white road markings and, if the car is about to leave its lane unintentionally, warn the driver by making the steering wheel vibrate gently. Blind Spot Assist, meanwhile, uses two radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor the blind spot at speeds above 30 km/h and can warn the driver against dangerous lane changes.

If ATTENTION ASSIST detects signs of driver drowsiness or inattention, it recommends taking a break

Driving Assistance package Plus (optional). This package includes DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control as well as Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist. DISTRONIC PLUS helps the driver to maintain the desired distance between the car and the vehicle in front by braking the car, to a standstill if necessary, and then accelerating it again. Thanks to the PRE-SAFE Brake, the system can initiate emergency braking

around 0.6 seconds before a detected, unavoidable collision to reduce the severity of the accident. Active Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas to the left, right and rear of the car. If a vehicle is detected in the monitored area, a symbol appears in the exterior mirrors glass to warn the driver. If the driver misses this warning and starts to change lanes despite a further, audible warning signal, the system can intervene actively via the ESP

control system and correct the direction of travel moderately. In the case of Active Lane Keeping Assist, the system records the lane markings continuously. If the system detects that the vehicle is unintentionally crossing the continuous white line on the road, it warns the driver by making the steering wheel vibrate gently. If the driver fails to respond, the system can also actively brake the vehicle and prevent it from leaving its lane. LED tail lights and adaptive brake lights (standard). The tail lights, brake lights and third brake light employ LEDs and emphasise the sporty design of the car. During emergency braking, the adaptive brake lights signal a hazardous situation to the traffic behind by flashing.

The DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control can brake the car to a standstill and then accelerate it again, for example when driving in a queue of traffic

In the event of danger or in an accident

The extremely robust passenger cell is at the heart of the CLS safety philosophy. Complex interaction between the body, seat belts, airbag system and sensors helps to protect the driver, passengers and pedestrians.

Brake Assist BAS PLUS (optional in conjunction with DISTRONIC PLUS). Brake Assist BAS PLUS in conjunction with the PRE-SAFE Brake can help to prevent rear-end collisions. The anticipatory system uses radar sensors to evaluate driving situations autonomously and, if needed, provides extra braking power based on the distance to the vehicle in front and the relative speed. If the radar sensors detect a potential collision and the driver applies the brakes in time, BAS PLUS is primed to apply braking pressure in accordance with the available stopping distance. PRE-SAFE system (standard). As a precaution, the PRE-SAFE system can activate protective measures for example reversible tensioning of the driver and passenger seat belts as well as automatic closing of the open windows and/or the optional sliding sunroof depending on the driving situation and the vehicle equipment.

PRE-SAFE Brake (optional in conjunction with DISTRONIC PLUS). As a three-stage warning and braking system, the PRE-SAFE Brake can intervene prior to an impending rear-end collision: if there is no reaction from the driver following an initial visual and audible warning, the system can initiate autonomous partial braking as a haptic warning. If there is still no reaction from the driver, autonomous emergency braking can be initiated to reduce the severity of the collision. Airbags (standard). Nine airbags are fitted to protect you and your passengers: front airbags which are deployed in two stages, depending on the accident severity and accident characteristics, windowbags as well as sidebags and pelvisbags for the driver and front passenger. The kneebag can further reduce the forces exerted on the driver during an accident. Rear sidebags on both sides are available as an option.

NECK-PRO head restraints (standard). The NECK-PRO head restraints for the driver and front passenger can be activated in a rear impact, depending on the severity of the collision: a spring mechanism moves the head restraints forwards and upwards, meaning that the head can be supported earlier and the strain on the cervical spine can be reduced.

The NECK-PRO head restraints can reduce the risk of whiplash significantly in a rear impact

The LED technology, used by Mercedes-Benz for the new CLS for the very first time, combines maximum radiancy with minimal energy consumption and a long lifetime. Whats more, the light produced by the LED high-performance headlamps is very easy on the eyes, as its colour temperature of 5500 degrees Kelvin makes it closer to daylight than the light produced by xenon headlamps.

The LED high-performance headlamps are one of the design highlights and lend the new CLS a unique night design

Intelligent Light System (in conjunction with optional LED high-performance headlamps). All five functions of the Intelligent Light System country mode, motorway mode, enhanced fog lamps, cornering light function and active light function have been combined with LED technology for the first time ever. Adaptive Highbeam Assist ensures the best possible illumination of the road automatically in any driving situation.

Bi-xenon headlamps (standard). When set to low beam, the bi-xenon headlamps ensure better and wider illumination of the road verges. When switched to high beam, they have a much greater range than conventional headlamps. Dynamic, sensor-controlled range adjustment automatically compensates for any changes in the vehicle level when braking or accelerating.

LED tail lights with night design (standard). The LED tail lights are drawn around into the cars flanks, giving the rear design its characteristic profile. The brake lights are based on the same look as the tail lights, and the luminosity of the LEDs is increased substantially during braking. Intermediate lenses highlight the contours even when the lights are switched off.

Multimedia systems
The multimedia functions in the CLS can be operated via an easy-to-use Controller located on the centre console. Alternatively you can use the buttons on the devices themselves or the multifunction steering wheel. There are three head units available: Audio 20 CD, Audio 50 APS and COMAND APS.

COMAND APS (optional). The multimedia system with hard-disc navigation system posts all the information on a 17.8 cm high-resolution colour display. The map data for the navigation system can be updated free of charge at Mercedes-Benz dealerships for a period of three years following first registration. System functions include a radio, an equalizer with speed-sensitive volume control and the MUSIC REGISTER with a 6 GB hard drive. The DVD player provides excellent entertainment. An Aux-in connection, a slot for SD memory cards and a Bluetooth interface enable connection with external data storage media and a mobile phone. COMAND APS is controlled using an intuitive Controller on the armrest or the LINGUATRONIC voice-operated control system.

COMAND APS is a combination of audio system, navigation system and telephone functions. All of the main settings can also be programmed using the LINGUATRONIC voice-operated control system

Audio 20 CD (standard). The Audio 20 CD radio features a 14.7 cm display, RDS/dual tuner with traffic information decoder, a Bluetooth interface and an MP3-compatible CD player. A 6-disc CD changer is available as an option. All functions can be controlled conveniently using the multifunction steering wheel and the Controller on the centre console. Audio 50 APS with 6-disc DVD changer (optional). Audio 50 APS combines the functions of an entertainment system: radio, CD/DVD player, DVD audio and MP3 player. It also features DVD navigation with 2-D map display, intersection zoom and the Traffic Message Channel, plus a Bluetooth interface with a hands-free function. LINGUATRONIC voice-operated control enables convenient control of multimedia, communication and navigation functions.

Harman Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system (optional). The Harman Kardon Logic 7 surround sound system delivers outstanding sound, as it has been custom-tuned for the interior of the CLS-Class. With 14 high-performance speakers, including a woofer, and a 9-channel DSP amplifier, this 610-watt Dolby Digital 5.1 system delivers first-class acoustics when paired with the Audio 50 or COMAND APS system. Surround playback can be individually optimised for the entire passenger compartment, the front area, the middle area or the rear area. The 3-D stereo sound and speed-sensitive volume control ensure constant listening pleasure and maximum sound precision.

Assistance systems
Assistance systems are designed to make life easier. In this respect, Speed Limit Assist, the reversing camera and Active Parking Assist enhance the feeling of comfort and safety in the CLS.

Speed Limit Assist (optional in conjunction with Audio 50 APS or COMAND APS). Speed Limit Assist can detect speed-limit signs by means of a windscreen-mounted camera and display them as symbols on the instrument cluster. The camera filters out circular speed-limit signs, regardless of whether they are at the side of the road or on a gantry above the road. Speed Limit Assist is especially helpful on routes with variable-message signs or road works. In addition, this system compares the displayed speed limits such as when entering or leaving towns with the data stored in the navigation system and lets the driver know whether the car is travelling within the speed limit.

Speed Limit Assist even indicates temporary speed limits

Reversing camera (optional in conjunction with COMAND APS). The reversing camera films the area directly behind the car with its wide-angle lens and sends the images to the central COMAND display. It is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged, thus helping the driver when reversing.

Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC (optional). With Active Parking Assist from Mercedes-Benz on board, the car looks for a suitable parking space and parks in the space automatically at the push of a button, meaning that all the driver has to do once he or she has stopped, accepted the suggested parking space and engaged reverse gear is use the accelerator, gearshift and brakes. Active Parking Assist takes care

of the steering all on its own. The system is extremely precise: for automatic parking, the parking space only needs to be 1.30 metres longer than the car. During automatic parking, the PARKTRONIC ultrasonic sensors measure the distance to the vehicle in front and behind. Active Parking Assist uses a total of ten ultrasonic sensors six in the front bumper and four in the rear bumper as well as an electronic control unit, which processes the sensor signals and calculates the best possible line to take in order to park in the space.

Seats
In terms of style, the link between the interior and exterior design of the new CLS is seamless. The aesthetic individuality continues inside the car, adding distinctive touches and thus enhancing driving enjoyment.

The interior design picks up on the themes of the exterior design. For instance, the dropping line shaping of the door linings reflects the exteriors dynamic, forwardthrusting side line, while the feeling of momentum generated by the centre console is mirrored in the doors and the beltline, thus giving the occupants a feeling of security. This feeling is further enhanced by elegant topstitching as well as the use of high-quality and authentic materials such as leather, wood and piano lacquer, depending on the interior appointments selected by the customer. Memory package (optional). The Memory package enhances convenience if several different people drive the car or sit in the front-passenger seat. A control panel is used to move the front seats, head restraints, steering column and exterior mirrors. Three different groups of settings can be stored for each seat. The integrated, electrically adjustable 4-way lumbar support allows each seat occupant to select their preferred settings.
The active multicontour seats are designed to meet the highest requirements in terms of individual seating comfort, ergonomics and safety

Active Multicontour Seat package (optional). The active multicontour seat with massage and dynamic functions for the driver and front passenger helps to ensure a comfortable ride on long trips. The seat contours can be adjusted to suit individual body shapes using the COMAND Controller. The NECK-PRO luxury head restraints for the front seats are integrated here.

NECK-PRO luxury head restraints (optional, in conjunction with Multicontour Seat package and Active Multicontour Seat package). The flexible side bolsters of the luxury head restraints improve lateral support of the head and enhance comfort. Furthermore, the head restraints are activated by means of sensor control if a rear impact is detected. They are then moved into a better position to reduce the risk of whiplash injuries.

Individual rear seats (standard). The luxurious ambience inside the CLS is further emphasised by the form, colour and materials of the seats. Individual rear seats, separated by a centre console with a folding armrest, further accentuate the individuality of the interior design. Four-rib vertical fluting in the seat cushions and backrests gives the seats an unmistakable look.

AMG three letters that are internationally synonymous with leading-edge technology, exclusivity and dynamism. The unique experience begins before you even get into the CLS 63 AMG as you savour the exterior design. www.mercedes-amg.com

Looking at the car alone is an electrifying experience: from the exclusive AMG bonnet design to the AMG spoiler lip on the boot lid, the CLS 63 AMG impresses with its hallmark, energetically expressive AMG aura. This model combines the elegance of a coup with the design of a sports car: the unique, wide front wings,

the single-louvre radiator and the powerful AMG front apron combine with the exclusive AMG LED daytime driving lights integrated in the outer air dams to create a symbol of thrilling dynamism. This momentum is underlined by AMG triple-spoke light-alloy wheels painted in titanium grey with a high-sheen finish, the

exclusive AMG diffuser-style rear apron with integrated rear fog lamp and, of course, the AMG sports exhaust system with chromed twin tailpipes.

One look at the interior of the CLS 63 AMG is all it takes to realise what the Mercedes-AMG experts mean by custom-designed dynamism.

The interior of the CLS 63 AMG is an exciting blend of fine materials, refined craftsmanship and consistently sporty design. At the heart of the cockpit is the AMG DRIVE UNIT with E-SELECT lever and AMG emblem, which can be used for individual control of transmission modes, ESP functions and suspension setups. Above this is the new AMG 3-spoke performance

steering wheel with flattened top and bottom sections, equipped with silver-coloured aluminium shift paddles, and the AMG instrument cluster with AMG main menu including RACETIMER. These sporty attributes are blended with exclusive flair: ergonomic AMG sports seats in nappa leather, brushed stainless steel for the AMG door sill panels and the AMG sports pedals, which

also feature non-slip rubber studs. A black piano lacquer trim and an analogue clock in exclusive IWC design complete the impression of style-conscious sportiness.

CLS 63 AMG technology

The new AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine and the AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission make for emotional driving experiences and outstanding efficiency. Yet when it comes to choosing a sporty or comfort-oriented driving style, the driver always has the final say in the CLS 63 AMG.

AMG 5.5-litre V8 engine. The new AMG V8 biturbo engine in the CLS 63 AMG impresses on two counts above all: its exciting dynamism and a level of efficiency that is nothing short of extraordinary in this output category. As you might expect from Mercedes-AMG, it produces a characteristic, powerful sound with a rated output of up to 410 kW and a peak torque of 800 Nm with the optional AMG Performance package on board. The low fuel consumption for this output category is achieved courtesy of direct petrol injection with spray-

guided combustion, twin turbochargers, alternator management and the Controlled Efficiency mode with start/stop function among other things. AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission. Bringing you the best of both worlds: the sporty, direct and agile feedback of a manual transmission paired with the outstanding convenience of an automatic. Yet the high-tech transmission still gives the driver a free hand as, in addition to the Race Start and automatic

double-declutching functions, it offers a further four individual modes: Controlled Efficiency or C for short stands for extremely consumption-optimised driving, while the S (Sport), S+ (Sport Plus) and M (Manual) modes enhance dynamism. They allow gear changes in under 100 ms thanks to the partial suppression of individual cylinders when upshifting. A compact, wet clutch in place of the conventional torque converter translates accelerator pedal movements into forwards thrust instantaneously and with the best possible traction. AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension. The new, wider front axle used for the AMG sports suspension enhances lateral dynamics substantially, while the electronically controlled damping system on the rear axle allows lightning-fast changes in the setup, depending on whether maximum agility or ultimate ride comfort is required. The new AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension also offers an impressive array of individualisation options: as well as allowing the driver to select from a

AMG Performance Studio

The AMG Performance Studio brings the sporty traits of the CLS 63 AMG even further to the fore, in terms of both performance and aura, by offering a wide range of attractive individualisation options.

To further emphasise the sporty side of the CLS 63 AMG, the AMG Performance Studio offers the AMG Performance package which, as well as enhancing the performance of the CLS 63 AMG on a visual level courtesy of the AMG carbon-fibre engine cover, the AMG carbon-fibre spoiler lip, the red-painted AMG callipers and the AMG performance steering wheel with Alcantara inserts also

Further optional extras include an AMG trim in carbon fibre/piano lacquer, illuminated door sill panels, an AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre package and AMG 5-twin-spoke forged wheels. Not to mention AMG performance suspension with even firmer settings in all three suspension modes and an AMG rear-axle dif-

ferential lock for even better traction. The large AMG ceramic high-performance composite brakes are instantly recognisable by their specially painted callipers. They offer a precise pressure point, outstanding resistance to fading and exceptionally short stopping distances whilst reducing system weight by around 40%. And for all those who desire even more dynamism, there is the AMG Drivers package, which gives an electronically governed top speed of 300 km/h (with participation in driver training at the AMG Driving Academy also included). The AMG Performance Studio in Affalterbach can also meet other customer requests including the production of one-off models.
