Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG Performance Overview
Mercedes-Benz’s CLS63 AMG performance story spans 2007 to 2014 in this dataset, with 5 verified tests covering the model’s high-output gasoline era. It begins with the C219-generation 2007 sedan, powered by the naturally aspirated 507-hp M156 V8, which reached 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. That established the early baseline for the CLS63 AMG’s blend of four-door coupe packaging and AMG V8 acceleration before the model moved into a more heavily boosted phase.
With the C218 generation from 2012 onward, the formula shifted to the twin-turbo M157 V8, here ranging from 550 to 577 hp, and performance tightened accordingly. A 2012 CLS63 AMG Sedan (AMG Performance Pack) recorded 3.8 seconds to 60 mph, while another tested example of the same trim ran 4.3 seconds, showing the spread within period results. By 2014, the CLS63 AMG S-Model 4MATIC Sedan delivered the line’s quickest figures at 3.2 seconds to 60 mph and a 11.6-second quarter-mile at 122 mph. Across the available tests, the CLS63 AMG now stands as a short-run, V8-only AMG sedan with an observed 0-60 range from 4.1 seconds in early C219 form down to 3.2 seconds in later C218 S-Model specification.

How we verify Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG performance data
Records and averages on this page cover verified production runs only; modified and prototype results are listed by year but never folded into them. We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
