Mercedes-Benz South
Africa has confirmed that the
new S 63 AMG and CLA-Class will be available for sale in
Mzansi before the end of November. The S 63 AMG is based on the
all-new S-Class shape, while the CLA-Class is a sportier four-door derivative of the new A-Class, a kind of baby CLS-Class.
The S-Class features a plethora
of new technologies that will make even the heads of its owners spin for months
after purchase. Said to be much more comfortable,
stylish and more fuel-efficient, the new S-Class is regarded by some media as
the best car in the world right now. We’ll only be able to confirm/ deny at its
SA media launch in November.
Meanwhile, we can remind you a little bit about what the S
63 AMG is all about. Engine power is
provided by the trusted 5.5-litre
biturbo V8 which in this case makes 436kW
and 900Nm of torque, driven by a 7-speed AMG Speedshift MCT gearbox. Merc
claims the two-tonne Cathedral on wheels can haul from 0 – 100km/h in a mere 4.4 seconds!
Regarding the CLA, we can confirm that it will be priced
higher than its A-Class sibling, but not much so. Excitingly the CLA 45 AMG with 265kW and 450Nm will
also go on sale here, at just over R600 000
a piece.
