Mounted atop every AMG engine is a small plaque bearing the signature
of the single technician who crafted it by hand. More than a crown jewel
of racing royalty, it authenticates a philosophy that's been the driving force
behind championship racecars for 46 years. For the high-performance
AMG automobiles that carry this motorsports pedigree to the streets of
the world, "One man, one engine" is far more than a spiritual legacy. It's
also tangibly evident in the meticulous engineering, proven endurance and
superlative performance that three letters — and one signature — certify.
The heart of the CLS 63 AMG 4
matic
is its handcrafted 5.5‑liter biturbo V‑8.
Increased output of 550 hp and 531 lb‑ft
of torque reduce its 0–60‑mph dash to
a swift 3.7 seconds.
A new CLS 63 AMG

S‑Model 4
increases fuel injection

pressure and turbo boost for even more
staggering results: 577 hp, 590 lb‑ft,
and a blinding 3.6 seconds to 60 mph.

The 7‑speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT
MCT
®
transmission incorporates a wet startup
clutch. A paddle‑shifted Manual mode
offers 100‑millisecond upshifts, while
its rev‑matched downshifts are met with
a snarl of the growling exhaust. From
the console, the AMG DRIVE UNIT lets
you choose among four modes for the
transmission, three for the suspension,
and three for the ESP.

You can also
store a favorite setup and recall it via a
single button bearing the AMG logo.
AMG has developed a new version of
4
that obliterates every notion
®
matic
concerning the performance potential
of all‑wheel drive. A 33:67 front/rear
torque split — plus a Torque Vectoring
Brake feature in the S‑Model's ESP
Sport handling mode — help to prevent
unwanted understeer, while preserving
agility and driving fun. The exclusive
AMG suspension setup features steel
front springs and rear air springs, along
with three driver‑selectable modes.
Staggered 19" AMG
®
alloy wheels

offer
an enticing peek at the massive, multi‑
piston AMG brakes. Among the wheel
options is an even lighter, forged‑alloy
19" design. The S‑Model is distinguished
by Titanium Silver 10‑spoke wheels, red
brake calipers, a racing‑inspired steering
wheel with Alcantara
®
side grips, and
numerous exterior styling details.
