RE: Carlsson's super-CLS

[ZesPak]

Saw a "standard" black CLS 63 AMG the other day. Looked amazing and had loads of road presence.

This is either just the wrong "colour" or it's something else. Especially no fan of the badge though!

It's a slug of a car. A fast slug maybe, but a slug never the less. It fell out the ugly tree and dented itself on every branch of that 100m free fall.

Really? I love the look of the CLS

[Adz The Rat]

Damm that is nice.

Will take one in brown please.

Best do Euro's today while Im out.

Well - never say never, but I really can't ever imagine myself in such a car. For me the base car is not a contender and then they make it ugly and exclusive but in a slightly vulgar way. Power and torque are stupendous however, but where to use it ? Since it is not a track machine it is all a bit wasted and OTT. If I was 50 years old and living in Germany then it may make sense.

Dear Cyrus,

We are absolutely devastated* to hear this.

Sincerely,

Carlsson AG.

I'll take the Brabus version when it's released.

The Carlsson effort is much nicer IMO, the Brabus is fugly.

That looks chopped up, terrible!

MKB's effort is much better, a part from the wheels maybe:



But I'd have the standard, in black please:

[Gorbyrev]

Lovely, but does it cost less than a fully optioned Cayman!?

I think the M135i is the better bet here, 90% of the performance for a fraction of the price!!

Having done some hot laps at the recent PH Sunday Service at Brooklands in a standard CLS AMG I can only imagine what this thing feels like. I've no idea how many times I uttered "Oh my God" but I giggled like a 10 year old and was equally impressed by such a heavy car's ability to go round corners and stop too. So much so that I went back there last weekend to do a half hour experience in an SL500 Highly recommended.

[Budleigh]

I'm surprised none of the usual pedants have burst forth furiously to protest a hotted-up AMG being called a "sleeper".

[RichieB1973]

Good effort, but I'd rather mine came without the turd-coloured alcantara!

[torres del paine]

Gorgeous brute.

I adore big Mercs, just so right

[ellisd82]

Spotted this a while back whilst rifleing through the classifieds. Thought it was a beaut!



Also spotted this!



Not everyones taste and maybe a bit garish, but I like it!

[iamAlegend]

I'm sorry, sleeper?! It's one of the most conspicuous cars on the road

Should be awesome though!!

[Amirhussain]

Lmao never a sleeper especially with 4 exhausts coming out of its backside.

Brute of a car to look at, sounds thunderous too, still think the previous CLS was a much better looking car, wouldn't say no to this though.
