Exciting cutting-edge technology from Affalterbach: the Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG and the CL 63 AMG are to benefit from a completely newly developed powertrain. The AMG 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine with a peak output of up to 420 kW (571 hp) and a torque of up to 900 Nm, in combination with the unique AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7- speed sports transmission, contributes towards a considerable reduction in consumption and emissions, while at the same time increasing maximum power and torque.
With the new generation of the CL and new engines for the S-Class, Mercedes-Benz once again raises the standard for efficiency and exclusivity in the luxury saloon and coupé segment. The CL and S-Class come with highly efficient engines with direct petrol injection whose output has been increased by as much as 12.5 percent and whose petrol consumption has been reduced by as much as 24 percent.
Sales of Mercedes-Benz vehicles continue to increase. In August, the brand posted double-digit growth for the tenth month in a row. Sales were up by 22 percent, and deliveries to customers around the world amounted to 81,000 units last month (August 2009: 66,200). Since the beginning of the year, Mercedes-Benz has now sold 735,400 passenger cars, an increase of 16 percent from the figure recorded during the same period in 2009.
Stuttgart. Unter dem Motto „Schneller von heute nach morgen“ startet
Mercedes-Benz heute eine breit angelegte Kampagne zur Mobilität der Zukunft. Auf allen Kommunikationskanälen, wie z.B. in einem TV-Spot, einem Online-Special oder in Anzeigen wird gezeigt, dass der Weg der Marke mit dem Stern in eine emissionsfreie Mobilität bereits heute begonnen hat.
A generation ahead: with the CLS, Mercedes-Benz created a new vehicle category in 2003 which for the first time combined the elegance and dynamism of a coupé with the comfort and functionality of a saloon. The public were delighted, the competition astounded and a style icon was born: for years the CLS has endured as the only four-door coupé in its class, and since October 2004 it has been the car of choice for around 170,000 buyers worldwide.
