CLS Updated 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG Details Announced

[Alx]

Another model making headlines while we were away was the Mercedes CLS63 AMG, with a pair of photos surfacing that demonstrate precisely what the model will look like after its mid-life 2009 model year refreshening.

As the CLS is already a stunning, stunning vehicle, it's hardly surprising that few changes are present on the new four door coupe. Areas that have changed, however, include a new front grille sporting only two bars; larger 19-inch wheels; LED tail lights; and a now carbon rear spoiler. In terms of power, the CLS63 remains unchanged, with the model still boasting 514 horsepower and a 0-62mph time of just 4.5 seconds.

We will of course keep you posted when more in-depth details are revealed; in the meantime, head over to Mercedes-Benz Germany to check out the updated 2009 CLS63 AMG's complete list of technical specifications.

Always enjoyed the look of the CLS, but the changes aren't really noticable. Probably when I see it in person I will be able to notice the changes.

The only change I see are the wheels. Handsome and more upscale looking.

Check the mirrors. They look quite different too (and not for the better! ).

The new mirror design is comparable to the one of the SLK facelift! Don't know, if I like them...

That's just it, they look terrible on the CLS.

I preferred the original CLS mirrors.

The current CLS is still extremely beautiful and in my opinion it doesn't really need a facelift. Nevertheless LED rear lights etc are a very good idea.

Cls-55/63 is the only Mb I like, rims makes me remember, the new 911-turbo ...!

I think they look good. Sleek like the car itself.
The previous ones were a bit bulbous, but still good-loking.

However everybody complained about them because they were too high and restrained the front vision too much. The new ones, sleeker, are less high so I think this is a bigger improvement than just a design change. And the new design of the repetitors is absolutely delicious!

To each his own.

Oh damn, I agree!
Those do nothing for the character lines of the vehicle does it!
