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.

Mercedes’ CLS shooting brake has finally shed the last vestiges of spy cladding for a big, fat photo shoot today. Admittedly, not much has changed since the car was revealed to be a thing at last year’s Beijing auto show. That’s not a bad thing if you’re into the sexy-station wagon look. Which we most […] More »

Stylish is good, but bad-ass is better. At least, that sounds like the approach German Special Customs took when building their kit for the CLS 63 AMG. The regular CLS is like… A finely tailored suit. It’s elegant and handsome with creases in all the right places. GSC tears the sleeves off, spikes it’s hair, […] More »

We all know that Mercedes-Benzes are highly complex cars that are masterpieces from the minds of designers and engineers from the company’s tech centers. Unlike the sometimes overwhelming feeds on new models and spyshots that we get on a weekly basis, the design process is not as readily available. But now, a time-lapse video has
