mmmmm CLS65!

[MercedesAMG]

over 600 hp and under $100k

Nice. I still maintain one of the top 10 best looking cars ever made. This version should be powerful, but its not going to be better than the M Cars (namely the M5 and M6).

 

[MercedesAMG]

its taking BMW a long as time to make the M5.. in the same amount of time AMG has come out with how many cars??

 

[MPower]

A lot. But AMG doesnt do nearly as much testing as BMW. AMG puts a big engine and beefer transmission, stiffer suspension, bigger brakes and calls it a day.

How do you know it's a 65 AMG?
Could be a 55 too, e.g. normally a 65 has "V12 biturbo" written on the front fenders...

EDIT:

under $100k

???
No way!

The CL 65 costs about 200.000? (240.000$), the S65 too and a SL 65 is about 260.000? (315.000$)!
Regarding the price it has to be a CLS 55 AMG, and even a 55 is probably more expensive than 100.000$.

there arent any markings as this is in testing and its a spy pic. i really doubt that AMG is going all down the line with 65's but the most likely scenerio from what i know is that this is an AMG 55 being tested, not 65.

yuck... a big boat with a sad looking rear-end that reminds me of a Mitsu Lancer :?

sorry.. didnt realize i forgot to post the article with it lol

Sources are telling us the 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-12 engine will put out over 600 horsepower, with prices expected to start in the mid-$80,000 range.

Well, there were also spy pics of the SL65 before it came out. There they just put black tape over this!

I think 80,000$ will be the price for a CLS500 not a CLS65....

 

[nosispower]

Maybe I'm just weird, but I think this one looks really really nice. And I hate Bangle's work too.

It's much lower and less chunky compared to today's Mercedes, it's a directed no German car maker has really taken I think they've pulled it off pretty well.

 

[Dark_Templer_102]

Well its like maken a E 65 AMG..still cheaper than 100 grand but still expensive..CLS is like inbetween E and S class

 

[MercedesAMG]

looks like its gonna be a CLS55 not a CLS65...

[Dark_Templer_102]

Opps sorry still the E55 AMG is what 78 grand? the CLS55 shouldn't be that much more unless somehow its like the Uber S-class (which it is not)

 

[MercedesAMG]

the CLS is a mix of the E and the CL.. so it makes sense to be more expensive than the E

 

[kteO1]

i think that this "new" cls category should not exist.....wjhat is the meaning of a car between the e and the s class?

 

[CanadianLoonie]

Mercedes-Benz must have the most incomprehensible model line-up ever.

At least compared to Porsche's.

 

[kteO1]

compared to all manufacturs MB is incomprehensible...
