Next Gen CL AMG Spy pics

[LeMansX5]

The exisitng one has 510Hp imagine this one ......................

These photos are showing for the first time the AMG version of the new CL in cold weather testing. The prototype is featuring a different front end, and – according to the cover on the dashboard – also a sportier look of the cockpit.
The new standard CL is expected to come to the showrooms in December 2006, but the AMG version will be due in spring 2007 only in a small production line. It will carry an additional “63 AMG” nameplate on the boot lid.

The car will be furthermore equipped with a seven-speed automatic transmission, ceramic brakes and additional air intakes in the front skirt.

Just like in the BMW M series, the Mercedes AMG models can be recognized from the four big exhaust pipes and huge brake disks.

CL55 right now has 493hp. It's probably a bit more because Mercedes is rumored to underrate engines.
516lb-ft torque

However, the CL63 is said to have only 503hp and be a 6.3L naturally aspirated motor. So that means a lot less torque then right now, however I think they'll have the 7speed transmisson rather than the 5speed so gearing should make up for the 50lb-ft+ (516 - 465, i'm too lazy to do math right now, I'll be doing plenty of math in the Physics final tomorrow) torque loss.

Lemans, I'm liking what I see....much better than current CL even under all those claddings.
