Feel like your CLS63 AMG is too portly to give those BMW M5s the spanking they deserve? Tuning firm MKB has a package that ought to cure those blues.
MKB works their tuning magic to give AMG’s 5.5 liter twin turbocharged V8 an additional 140 horsepower. That brings the CLS 63 AMG an output of 700 horsepower. Torque output gets a similar hefty increase, from 590 lb-ft to almost 740 lb-ft.

You know, I’m alright with this new “wel’ll-release-our-own-damn-spy-shots” thing from Mercedes. It gives us a pretty good look at their upcoming models without giving it all away. Of course, that excitement is doubled when it’s a car like the CLA45 AMG. Think of this car as amends for the A-Class AMG not making it’s way […] More »
