Mercedes-AMG CLS 63 S Shooting Brake

At a time of increasingly popular superfast SUVs, German tuning company Pogea Racing has upgraded the Mercedes-AMG CLS 63 S Shooting Brake.

There are many customers who prefer the idea of ​​owning a super-fast station wagon like the legendary Audi RS6. After the fastest Mercedes AMG E63 S station wagon with 612 hp, Pogea Racing has increased the power of the AMG CLS 63 S model.

The AMG CLS 63 S Shooting Brake is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 Biturbo engine with 742 hp (546 kW) and 822 lb-ft (1,114 Nm) of torque. This amount of power is enough to push the caravan to a top speed of 204 mph (329 km / h). Power is transmitted to all wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. It is mounted on 20-inch wheels with Michelin PS 4S 255/30 R20 (front) and 285/25 R20 tires.

As a reminder, the standard CLS 63 S has 585 hp (430 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque, and reaches 62 mph in 3.7 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km / h).

The car is painted in “Pogea Stealth gray”, while the rear diffuser, two side sills, mirror housings, bonnet are made of carbon fiber. Exhaust pipes are cut and enameled in black gloss and welded to the exhaust system. It is equipped with an adjustable suspension made in collaboration with KW-Automotive, which allows the vehicle to be lowered 25 mm on the front axle.

The interior has been completely redesigned. It was insulated with alubutyl, and sheep wool insulation was also used. The feeling of sitting in a concert hall is taken care of by digital processors for adjusting the working time and frequency with 2x 10W3v3 woofers. It is equipped with an Android 12.5 ”touch screen that supports the NTG system of the vehicle.
