The car’s dynamic ride characteristics are due in part to the wheel/tire
combination fitted – 19-inch AMG twin-spoke light-alloy
wheels shod with 255/35 and 285/30
wide-base tires. These powerful-looking wheels complement the new AMG
bodystyling, which in turn reflects the sophisticated coupe aesthetics of the
CLS-Class to perfection. The AMG bodystyling comprises an expressive front apron
with large air inlets and round fog lamps, side skirts and a distinctive rear
apron. One highlight which appeals to both the eye and the ear is provided by
the two chromed, twin oval tailpipes of the AMG sports exhaust system. Further
differentiation is ensured by a special radiator grille with three imposing,
silver-painted louvers and “V8 KOMPRESSOR” lettering on the front wings; the AMG
spoiler lip on the boot lid adds the final touch, as well as increasing the
down-force on the rear wheels.
The equipment of the CLS 55 AMG represents a pleasing combination of exclusive,
sporty styling and high-quality materials. The design of the new AMG sports
seats exhibits special AMG perforations, lateral piping, double stitching and
Alcantara panels at shoulder height. The plentiful specification also includes
luxurious nappa leather in a choice of three colors, an AMG instrument cluster
and chromed door sill panels with the AMG logo.
