The Shooting Brake concept has finally arrived as a real purchasable car. The
Shooting Brake has AMG’s 5,5L biturbo V8 and the power outputs range
from 391KW to 415KW and a colossal torque output of 800NM this, with the
usual variety of AMG performance enhancements. The CLS also comes with the
SPEEDSHIFT 7speed MCT box which isn’t the best on the market but does it’s job
just fine. The biggest draw of this car is going to be its practicality matched
to the sheer beauty of the Shooting Brake design. AMG have widened the front
track by 56mm giving it an almost unmatched road presence that screams “Get out
of my way poor person”. Even with it’s 2 ton body to pull around it still dashes
to the 100km/h mark in 4.4seconds all while doing and average 13.8l/100km which
for this type and size of car is very impressive.
I think that Mercedes have built the perfect car here. You can take 5 people
in absolute comfort then do a years worth of shopping. Hit the track for some
afternoon fun and later that evening still look good showing up at the most
trendy nightclubs or bars. The car for all people, well that is if you have
R2million to buy one. Seems to be the only draw back with the big Benz.
