This CLS suppose to take on the Audi A7.

As usual looks like it takes time to sink into U to like it,

Guess the inside will be pretty luxurious!

2011

2012 (NEW)

[Guest kepiting1sg]

Nice!

Looks like 2012 models i.e CLS & ML dash took some over from the W212 (chrome insert air con grill) & FL C Class row of chrome switches below the new Audio 20/NTG 4.5 HU.

The aircon switches (ML 2011& 2012)

The center arm rest! The steering looks quite similar to the FL W204 & 2012 ML.

Good to see that MB kept the Analog Clock - Nice! Very Nice!

My guess the new 3.5L engine Will be like the 2012ML bump up from 272 bhp to a 306bhp & torque up from 350 Nm to 370 Nm & 0-100 in 6.1s down from 7.0s.

New Dimensions

(4940 x 1881 x 1416) mm

Wheelbase 2,874 mm

Weight 1735kg Kerb Weight

Old Dimensions

(4913 x 1873 x 1403) mm

Weight 1730kg Kerb Weight

Wheelbase 2,854 mm

Comparatively

The Audi A7 3.0L is 300bhp & the turbo pushed the Torque to a high 440 Nm & sprint to 100 in 5.6s

Dimensions

(4969 x 1911 x 1420) mm

Wheelbase 2,914 mm

Weight 1770kg kerb weight

NO.

I understand the need to evolve but this is taking it waaaaay too much into S klasse territory. The swoopy lines are still there but definitely padded up much more on the rear sides - very S klasse. Done to provide balance to the front fenders no doubt.

Nose is okay but I'll decide once the aftermarket tuners come up with something a little more interesting.

Please don't take my personal comments to heart. Having said that, I'm up for a car ride anytime though.

Saw a AMG-spec PI black one from Jack Cars on the road recently.

Sibei sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
