2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS AMG – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nEach day we’re inching closer to the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS’<\/a> debut, so the Benz Boys are hard at work on the AMG variant of its swoopy four-door which should go on sale soon after the new C218-based CLS hits dealers early next year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The AMG version is expected to be packing Mercedes’<\/a> all-new 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8<\/a>, putting out 544 horsepower and 586 pound-feet of torque in standard guise, and 571 hp and a axle-decimating 660 lb-ft of twist when kitted out in the in the optional higher-spec trim. Power will find its way to the ground through the new E-Class’<\/a> seven-speed automatic, while beefed up brakes and suspension components round out the high-performance package.<\/p>\n

These newest spy shots give us a glimpse of those biggie-sized, glowing rotors, along with an SLS<\/a>-inspired fascia and LED daytime running lamps. The arching roofline doesn’t appear to have changed much over the outgoing model, while the rear end gains a new set of taillamps and trapezoidal quad exhausts.<\/p>\n

Expect the new CLS to bow at the Paris Motor Show<\/a> this fall, with the AMG variant – likely carrying the “6.3” designation – coming along quickly thereafter.<\/p>\n
