It's safe to say that the S-version of the CLS 63 AMG is one of the most hardcore factory-tuned four-doors on the planet.
Along with its E 63 S-AMG brother, they are the two fastest accelerating sedans (OK, we'll call the CLS a four-door coupe) on the planet, reaching 100 km/h (62 mph) from a stand still in just 3.6 seconds.

The direct-injected, twin-turbo, barking V8 develops an astounding 585 hp and an asphalt-wrinkling 800 Nm (590 lb/ft) of torque, figures which would obliterate the rear tires in a matter of seconds during an extended burnout.

Thankfully, the S-model has 4matic all-wheel drive, which usually sends 33% of the monstrous torque to the front axle. Which is pretty much our guessed reason for why the front tires of this Diamond White Bright Metallic CLS are almost bald.

33% of 800 equals 264 Nm ( 194.7 lb/ft) to be shared by the two front tires during hard acceleration. This means that the CLS 63 AMG S-model caught by autogespot.nl member theigor0304 in Macedonia has laid some serious rubber during its rather short lifespan so far.
