| The new CLS AMG features
an all-new 6.3-liter V8 engine designed and built by AMG. Unlike
many of the engines used in previous AMGs, the new 6.3-liter V8
doesn't use a supercharger or turbos. Instead, it develops the
necessary power through its larger size and higher engine
speeds. The engine's 6.3-liter displacement is equivalent to 385
cubic inches, a healthy step up from the V8s in most full-size
American trucks. And with a 7,200-rpm redline, it has plenty of
room to breathe. In the CLS63, the V8 is rated to produce 507 hp
and 465 pound-feet of torque. Combined with a seven-speed
automatic transmission, the result is a 0-to-60 time of 4.5
seconds. |
