Mercedes-Benz’s German consumer site has popped out—that is to say
leaked—a couple of photos and a few details concerning the CLS63 AMG
Shooting Brake. [The info has since been pulled.] The early debut of the AMG
version of the coupe/wagon/whatever comes hot on the heels of the Mercedes-Benz
CLS Shooting Brake‘s official launch last week. If you’re a glutton for
punishment, we encourage you to keep reading.
We’ve anticipated that the Brake would get a dose of Affalterbach-ian awesome for a while: Check out CLS63 AMG Shooting Brake spy photos here, and a thinly veiled example posing for an anniversary photo shoot here.
Like its hatchless sibling, the CLS63 AMG sedan, the AMG Shooting Brake will
pack a 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 good for 518 hp and 516 lb-ft of
torque—or 550 hp and 590 lb-ft with the optional Performance pack. Also like the
standard CLS63 (and various other AMG cars), the transmission will be the
company’s seven-speed Speedshift automatic, which replaces the traditional
torque converter with computer-controlled clutch. Much of the rest of the car
will be identical to the regular Brake.
The standard CLS Shooting Brake won’t
make it to the U.S., so it would take an epic miracle for us to get our hands on
this version. At least we can still order the fantastically wacky E63 AMG
wagon—hallelujah for that. Tags: Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz CLS Shooting
