2014 CLS63 AMG or is it a 2014 CLS63 AMG S?

I am looking at a 2014 Meercedes CLS63 AMG and I can't tell if it is a base AMG or they upgraded AMG S. Is there an easy way to determine from the vin is the car has the S upgraded engine? Or is it just the base CLS63 AG?

I'm pretty sure my CLS63-S had "AMG-S" under the speedo. That would be too much trouble to fake, so look for a photo. I'm sure someone can decode the vin for you.

Do you have a link to where the car is advertised?

Another thing, the CLS63 AMG S is all-wheel drive were a CLS63 AMG is rear wheel drive.

That is not correct. All 2014's are All Wheel Drive..

S-AMG will have the badge on the trunk.. and calipers will be red...

Base 2014 AMG which I own.. does not have red calipers and does not have the S badge on the trunk..

Both are all wheel drive...

You are correct both are all wheel drive, but just because it has an S in front of the AMG doesn't make one. As much as people badge and de-badge these vehicles you're going to have to run the VIN to be sure.

The S model also has a power increase from 550hp to 577hp (both very underrated from factory).
