The Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake is probably the hottest estate on the market at the moment. German tuning company Vath have released an awesome package which adds an epic amount of power. Adjustments have also been made elsewhere, in line with the increase in performance!

Vath took the 525 or 557hp Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake and added a range of new parts. These include a modified turbocharger, a Vath air charge cooling system, a downpipe-system reducing exhaust gas pressure and a Vath rear silencer system. Combined, these enhancements push an extra 289hp from the V8 engine totaling 846hp and 1,180Nm of torque!

The car sits on 20 to 40mm lower on standard suspension springs. If you choose to upgrade to larger 20 inch rims, a set of 405mm brake disks are available including 6-piston calipers, a set of pads, racing brake fluid and flexible steel brake hoses. The wheels on this show car are three-piece
Vath designed forged wheels in titanium colour. They measure 9.5×20 inches with 265/30ZR20 tires at the front and 11.5×20 inches with 305/25ZR20 tires at the rear

 

The SB itself is horribly ugly IMO (much prefer the C63 Estate) but kudos to Vath for tastefully modding and including some serious grunt. You see so many of these high end packages that have all sorts of tacky aero garbage all over it (RennTech), love how they went tasteful.

 

I think the Shooting Break is gorgeous! I would be interested in one if it comes to the US. I love how Vath kept their exterior upgrades subtle.

 

I think this car is hot - not too thrilled about the wheels or the Distronic applique though.

 

Badass!

 

All of the sudden, my C63 feels so impotent.

 

I love vath's cls but still prefer the C63 wagon because of looks. Nice find.

 

When you get too long and stretched out with estates you start looking like a hearse or like a Dodge magnum...I think when estates look tight and compact, low and a bit shorter they look more aggressive and sportier. The CLS is a boat...the C63 estate is just perfect IMO and the E63 is awesome too.

Amazing car just too big...

 

I hear ya Zeph....my fav is definitely the E63 wagon...it's got the bigger back seats and you can't go wrong with a tuned 5.5TT!
