Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake Spyshots (Updated SpyVideo)
Posted by: | CommentsHere are the latest CLS spy shots in white, with the front uncamouflaged and it seems unchanged from the CLS Saloon.
We expect the back to be close to the concept with some exclusive led encrusted cluster and the chrome detailing around the rear’s sharp curves.
The only thing we expect to be toned down from the concept is the interior and the instrument clusters.
We expect the Mercedes new twin-turbocharged 4.6l Litre V8 to be the engine at launch, and we expect an AMG variant late in 2012.
Spy photos Mercedes G55 AMG and G65 AMG
Posted by: | CommentsHere we have the latest spy photos of the Mercedes G AMG Family testing in northern Sweden from the sound of the exhaust one is the G55 AMG and the other is a G65 AMG.
The G55 AMG is currently the most uneconomical Mercedes in the fleet with an oil baron busting 9mpg with its turbo charged 5.4 litre V8, we expect the replacement to be powered by the same unit.
We expect the G65 AMG to run a limited number of around 300 units and will sport a 6.0 litre V12 rumoured to be detuned for around 630hp with a whopping 1000Nm of torque and probably fuel economy to match.
After closer inspection we see that the G55 will have a single integrated intercooler in the bumper to aid lower intake temperatures.
And the G65 will have 2 side mounted integrated intercoolers to aid the additional heat from the bigger power unit.
Detailing changes will include face lifted bumpers with daytime running lights and larger brake callipers.
Interior will be the largest change with a new instrument cluster and the latest sat navigation system.
We expect to see the debut of the G55 – G65 at the 2012 Detroit Motorshow and perhaps might slip to Geneva in March.
