Mercedes CL Facelift Official Photos Leaked

The car producers like to play games with enthusiasts (and not only) by “accidentally” posting official images of unrevealed cars on their official websites for a certain period of time, raising the public’s interest for the involved vehicles.

The latest automotive Internet streaker is the Mercedes S-Klasse coupe (the car will drop the current CL-Klasse designation), with the vehicle’s pics “leaked” on the carmaker’s Dutch website.

Mercedes-Benz has not released any info about the big coupe’s upcoming facelift, but has posted two images, one showing a civilian version of the car, an one revealing the AMG package.

The vehicle’s exterior won’t bring any important changes. The S-Klasse coupe will come with a new front bumper that incorporates LED fog lights, redesigned headlights with new LED daytime running lights and a grille that shows a sportier design.

However, the engine compartment will come with multiple important additions, with the changes targeting units situated at most power levels. The CL350 model will use a naturally-aspirated 3.5 liter V6 BlueDIRECT engine, which offers 306 hp and a maximum torque of 272 lb-ft (368 Nm).

The CL 500 will receive a twin-turbocharged 4.6 liter V8 BlueDirect unit that comes with 435 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque (700 Nm). The CL63 AMG will drop the current naturally aspirated 6.3 liter V8 in favor of a 5.5 liter bi-turbo V8 powerplant, which delivers 541 hp and a maximum torque of 590 lb-ft (800 Nm).

The Mercedes S-Klasse Coupe will make its public debut at this year’s edition of the Paris Motor Show.
