[Vidéo] - Mercedes CLS AMG (2011) @ Nurburgring

[GEORGEBER 0]

A chance to hear the upcoming Mercedes-Benz CLS AMG's new 5.5 liter bi-turbo engine roar while doing some track testing at the Nurburgring circuit.

Gone is the naturally-aspirated 6.3 liter V8 from the four-door sport coupe, although reports are that the model will keep the CLS 63 AMG name. The new CLS AMG will come with the recently announced 5.5 liter, twin-turbo V8 which comes in two power configurations.

The 'standard' iteration is 544 PS (400 kW / 537 hp) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. An AMG Performance Package upgrades the engine to 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque.

That engine will make its debut in the Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG this summer where it will deliver about 25 percent better fuel-economy over the previous 6.3 liter V8. It's expected to sport similar numbers for the CLS as it does in the S63 AMG - 10.5 liters/100 km fuel-economy rating and the 0 to 100 km/h sprint completed in just 4.5 seconds.


The new CLS AMG is expected to make its debut at the Paris motor show this October.

The covers were just pulled off the new 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS at its world debut last week at the 2010 Paris Auto Show but already we have photos of the first crashed example. The crash took place at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany where engineers are running the car through its final phases of development.

The damage seen here looks minimal and since the car is a development mule it’s likely destined to be crushed once engineers have finished with it.

In an embarrassing couple of weeks for Mercedes-Benz we also just saw the new SLS AMG GT3 race car crash during its competition debut, which also just happened to take place at the notorious Nurburgring.

The new 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS will actually be one of the safest cars on the road, with features like blind-spot warning and lane keeping assistants all making the cut. For full details, check out our preview story by clicking here. First local sales are scheduled to start early next year.
