"From large cars with enormous stroke areas and each quantity of achievement one expects one by SE times: that they calm down, make leave. And that they obtain the sovereignty, in order to oppose to the hecticness outside in the schnelllebigen world a piece of leaving. Freely after the slogan: Achievement makes strong, but still more achievement calms down and makes deliberated. Which concerns the nominal benchmark figures of the new Gran Turismo from the Mercedes Sportdependance with names CL 63 AMG, is to be counted in this connection on largest obligingness. The impressive, viersitzige Coupé on basis of the new S-class is already optically a Trumm of a car. Clearly over two tons with difficulty (2,085 kilograms), more than five meters long, scarcely 1.90 meters wide and 142 centimeters highly - we have to do it thus with a trueful stately and sovereigns feature. Under the long front hood Dramatik is taken likewise announced for itself.

However the number work promises enormous Less than 525 HP do not stand for arrangement, made available from a brand-new eight-cylinder, which releases a wuchtiges torque of 630 Newtonmeters from its enormous capacity of 6.208 cubic centimeters on the filter course automatic transmission downstream. So elegantly the technically highly developed 90-Grad-V8 into its new, hochherrschaftliche environment inserts itself and so convincingly it also in the situation is, to which living measures according to rank to work against - from zero to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds -, so heavily it does itself from its character, in this fürstlich equipped, with most modern safety precautions equipped High Tech surrounding field to be brillieren. The achievement development of AMG von Grund on developed aluminum Big of block is in accordance with also the high speed concept discovered again in Affalterbach not evenly such the fact that it in the number of revolutions cellar with a Big fear for begins and upward flattens - no, the opposite is the case: It rises coming from the depth continuously and evenly and reveals a trueful inspiring high point in a speed range, which remained locked V8-Triebwerken of this caliber so far. Thus the maximum output of the remarkably short-stroke laid out engine fits only with scarcely 7.000/min. Also the torque peak value finds its peak despite pfiffigem switching suction tube and variable cam shaft adjustment only with 5.200/min. Thus the AMG engine is that specifically most most achievement and torque-strongest standard eight-cylinder suction engine of the world. But especially none, which
rauslässt down around the sow - at least not in the thick ship CL.

The new, intelligent AMG speed SHIFT 7G-Tronic-Automatik does thereby all in its power, in order to cover the partial impression of passage weakness. Already in the comfort stage C, which should actually be reserved the leave, unspektakulären driving fashion, she works unusually nervously, by already reacting to minimum stronger accelerotor pedal movements with hurtigem shifting back into the lower drive positions. In the sporty S-mode the automated Gangwahl goes to something in a speed, which makes quite convincing possible of intermediate spurt by repeated, jagged shifting down, on the other hand through the nervous succession in this gediegenen surrounding field deplaziert works nevertheless. For itself regarded the course changes go extremely supply. The function of the filter course automat is not congruent however always with what before-floats the driver. The manual M-mode, which practical-proves à la formula 1 the course changes by switching paddles at the steering wheel ring made possible, is in as much logically configures as it does not hold a kick-down effect permitted - - thus the straight clamped drill step. That straight this consistently furnished manual M-mode uncovers the only remarkable weakness, those in the noble CL 63 AMG to be criticized can - the behäbige temper with accelerating in high courses -, is not not without a certain Tragik. The certainly well meant attempts to let only fragmentful existing sporty talents nevertheless still noticeable become by appropriate measures in the surrounding field save evenly occasionally the danger to pull due to a wrong requirement thinking disappointment connected with them. Thus in the main menue of the pretty AMG Kombinstruments installed „Racetimer should “, with whose assistance according to AMG the round times of the CL on locked distances can be determined, tunlichst for other measurements to be used. Approximately for the determination of the time, until the shoe store leaves you again. "
