When Mercedes unveiled the Shooting Brake Concept last year, we didn’t think there was any way we would see it hit production lines, but recent spy shots have proved us wrong. After all, if Ferrari can come out with the FF, why shouldn’t Mercedes release a Shooting Brake version for the CLS?
Spy photographers have only caught the standard version testing, but we jumped at the chance to render a possible AMG version of the future Shooting Brake model. The new model will be the perfect vehicle for those who want to combine a standard family car with the sportiness of the CLS 63 AMG sedan.
Just like the sedan version, should expect a more aggressive design language defined by a V-shaped bonnet, a more powerful front apron, larger air intakes, an AMG rear apron with black diffuser insert, and dual twin chrome tailpipes. Under the hood, there will be the same 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine that delivers 525 HP and 516 lbs-ft of torque and mated to an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission and Controlled Efficiency stop/start function.
The new CLS Shooting Brake is expected to make its world debut in the summer of 2012, with sales to begin shortly after.
The recent launch of the new CLS Shooting Brake didn’t open any doors on what the AMG version has in store for us, but Mercedes has decided to drop a cool teaser video of the upcoming CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake to quench our thirst for knowledge. Judging by the fact that the car is completely uncovered in this video, we expect to see it launched very soon.
