2012 Mercedes CLS 63 AMG will debut in LA - report

According to a recent report, the 2012 Mercedes CLS 63 AMG will be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

As previous spy photos have shown, the redesigned model will feature an aggressive front fascia, LED daytime running lights, a four-tailpipe exhaust system, and AMG wheels.

Power will be provided by a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 engine with 518 bhp (386 kW/ 525 PS) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque. It will be connected to a 7-speed Speedshift MCT transmission which should enable the CLS 63 AMG to accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than 4.3 seconds. If that isn't fast enough, Mercedes will offer an AMG Performance Package which will increase output to 550 bhp (410 kW / 558 PS) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque.
