Trying to keep things fresh on the S and CL-Class before those models move onto their next generation, Mercedes has announced an AMG sport package for both.

The toy set includes AMG's own 19-inch light-alloy wheels in a 5-spoke design with 255/40 and 275/40 front and rear tires, respectively. 20-inch wheels are also an option, coming in a twin-spoke design and fitted with 255/35 and 275/35 tires instead. Behind the wheels are the new perforated brake discs with silver brake calipers and marked by Mercedes-Benz lettering.

On the exterior, the AMG package also includes a front apron with large air intakes and a rear skirt sporting rectangular, stainless-steel exhaust pipes fitted into the integrated black insert.

On the inside of the cabin is a complimentary wood and leather finish, a combination also used on the black ash steering wheel. Velor floor mats with AMG lettering is also included as are the stainless-steel sports pedals with rubber studs.

The AMG package is available for both the standard S-Class and the long wheelbase version, as well as on the CL 500, CL 500 4MATIC, the new E-Class Coupe, E-Class saloon/sedan and the C-Class models too. Starting price is 5831 euros, with the fully-optioned package coming in at 7973 euros in Germany.

The AMG sport package for those models will be available starting in June.

Press Release (Click to expand)

For the first time, there is an AMG Sports package for the 2009 Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the CL-Class. With revamped AMG bodystyling, attractive 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels and special interior details, both top Mercedes-Benz models can now be made more striking than ever in terms of sportiness. The appealing combination of exclusive equipment features, many of which are not available separately, is proving increasingly popular with customers. The AMG Sports package is now available for five Mercedes model types.

New AMG bodystyling, including a front apron with large air intakes, enhances the visual impact of the S-Class and the CL-Class. The rear apron with a striking black insert and integrated, rectangular tailpipe trim in polished stainless steel is also eye-catching. AMG side sill panels round off the AMG bodystyling. 19-inch AMG light-alloy wheels with a five-spoke design and wide-base 255/40 (front) and 275/40 (rear) tyres fill the wheel arches perfectly and provide optimum contact with the road. 20-inch AMG light-alloy wheels are available as an option in a twin-spoke design with 255/35 and 275/35 tyres. Mounted on the front axle there are perforated brake discs and silver-painted brake callipers featuring Mercedes-Benz lettering; the V6 models have a more generously proportioned braking system.

Wood trim and the wood/leather steering wheel in black ash give the high-quality vehicle interior a dynamic feel. The AMG Sports package also includes velour floor mats with AMG lettering and sports pedals in brushed stainless steel with rubber studs.
The AMGSports package is available for all S-Class models with a short or long wheelbase, as well as for the CL 500 and CL 500 4MATIC. It costs between 5831 and 7973 euros (including 19% VAT); the market launch commences in June 2009. In addition to the S-Class and CL-Class, the new E-Class Saloon, the new E-Class Coupé and the C-Class can be equipped with the AMGSports package.

The CL pictured here isn't a new facelifted one, is it?

I'm wondering that too. I don't think it is cos the CL was supposed to be renamed to "S-Class Coupé".

My only complain with new generation Mercs are gear shift behind steering wheel.

Yeah, I'm not much of a fan of the steering wheel mounted gear shift either.

This car is one of things worth living for and one of things that certainly make life beautiful. The S class was always something special for me... Bravo Mercedes!

Off topic I know but I love how in the "featured stories" little section on the bottom right it's BMW vs. Mercedes, with the 760/x6/5m and facelifted S class/E63 :)
