2012 The Mercedes CLS 63 AMG

Aston Martin, BMW, Audi, Porche and Volkswagen have also been presenting or foreshadowing their four door coupes since the CLS Class have been launched. This merely proves that the researchers in Mercedes were definitely on the right path in opting to do this.

The new line up ranges from the entry level CL550 4matic, with a 4.6litre direct-injected engine and 7-speed transmission, capable of 0-60mph in just 4.9 seconds, to the CL600 with its twin turbo 5.5litre V12 engine, which can achieve 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds. The AMG range is as impressive as ever - for example, the L65 AMG comes equipped with a V12 engine, capable of delivering 621bhp and 738lb/ft of torque.
