In 1967, two automotive engineers with a passion for motorsports began fine-tuning engines for Mercedes-Benz racecars in an old mill. Today, as the performance division of Mercedes-Benz, AMG creates some of the most sought-after vehicles in the world. They’re the product of skilled craftsmen, designers and engineers who live to test the limits, and one shared conviction: on the road to driving performance, short cuts never win the race.

Whenever you add the letters “AMG” to a Mercedes model, you are sure to get breathtaking performance, and the CLS63 AMG is no exception. As the high-horsepower version of Mercedes’ “four-door coupe,” it offers stylish lines with room for four. Under the hood is a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 that makes a beastly 577 hp and 590 lb-ft with a seven-speed automatic. All-wheel drive (4MATIC) is standard as is an adaptive sport suspension. The CLS63 may be expensive and exclusive, but it’s worth it.
