Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG S Shooting Brake

A five-door estate and a motorway predator, all in one body. The CLS 63 AMG S Shooting Brake is one of those rare indulgences, with the boot of a grand tourer and the temperament of a car that loves to accelerate.

Its 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 585 PS and, in S form, 4MATIC all-wheel drive came as standard together with a rear locking differential. The result is acceleration that seems to defy logic in a car with this much space.

The first CLS of 2004 was pitched as a four-door coupé; in June 2012 Mercedes took the idea further with the Shooting Brake, on sale from October that year. The CLS 63 AMG S version followed in June 2013.
