Original piece [link]

At the front it certainly looks like a normal Mercedes and grills and headlamps but from there backwards it goes berserk. The idea is that you have a boring four door saloon that looks like elegant two door coupé. I love some of the details too, like the pillar less doors and the break lights that looks like aliens. And inside you have a dirty great slab of unpolished wood and seats that massage you as you drive along.

Well you can't have a Mercedes with a V6 or a V8. But what I have here, is the Mercedes V8 supercharger! (So dramatic), thats a four-door Coupé powered by a 6.3-litre V8 AMG engine, which was developed entirely by Mercedes-AMG. The new 378 kW/514 hp AMG power plant has the highest specific power and torque of any naturally aspirated eight-cylinder production engine in the world. The refined Coupé has a 0 - 100 km/h time of just 4.5 seconds, on its way to a governed top speed of 250 km/h.

The high-performance engine of the new CLS 63 AMG is partnered by the AMG Speedshift 7G-Tronic transmission, which offers the driver a choice between fully automatic and manual shifting, with changes actuated either at the selector lever or Formula 1 style, by a press of the aluminium gearshift paddles. Appropriately, the powerful engine is also mated with the new AMG sports suspension, based on the semiactive air suspension system Airmatic DC which incorporates the ADS II Adaptive Damping System, and with the new AMG high-performance brake system which also applies on the supercar SLR, which provides plenty of stopping power thanks to composite front brakes and vented and perforated brake discs on all wheels.

So let me ask you now. Will you buy this car?
