There is something particularly appealing about this era of AMG. Before downsizing, turbocharging and electrification became the norm, Mercedes-AMG was producing cars such as the C219 CLS 63 AMG, combining an elegant four-door coupe silhouette with one of the great naturally aspirated V8 engines. SB is delighted to be offering this gorgeous example on the platform. At its heart is AMG’s hand-built 6.2-litre M156 V8, producing 514 bhp and 465 lb-ft of torque, driving the rear wheels through an AMG Speedshift 7G-Tronic automatic transmission. Performance remains properly serious, with 0-62 mph claimed at just 4.5 seconds. First registered in September 2007, this Obsidian Black Metallic example has covered approximately 69,943 miles and has had five former keepers. Its specification includes black leather and Alcantara upholstery, heated and ventilated electrically adjustable memory seats, Harman Kardon audio, COMAND navigation and a panoramic glass sunroof. The car has also benefited from a handful of sympathetic modifications, including a custom stainless-steel exhaust, K&N performance air filter, Sprint Booster throttle-response enhancer and an aftermarket carbon-fibre and Alcantara steering wheel. Importantly, it retains its unmistakable AMG character, right down to the original AMG tailpipes and signed builder’s plaque proudly displayed atop the M156 V8. Included in the sale are three keys, the original Mercedes document wallet, the complete owner’s manual set and COMAND instructions, all accompanying the car. With its elegant silhouette, hand-built V8 and unmistakable character, this CLS 63 represents a defining era for the marque - and with the M156 being its final naturally aspirated V8, it’s an increasingly significant modern classic. As always, the seller is available to answer all questions via the Comments section below. Buyers should bid with confidence.
The C219 CLS 63 AMG remains one of the most distinctive cars of its era, pairing an elegant four-door coupé shape with the character and soundtrack of a naturally aspirated V8. The M156 gives it an immediacy and sense of occasion that is increasingly rare in a world of turbocharged powertrains, while the combination of effortless performance, rear-wheel drive and long-distance comfort makes it as enjoyable on the open road as it is striking to look at. This particular example presents an appealing opportunity to own one of AMG’s defining modern classics, from an era when character mattered as much as outright performance. Buyers should bid with confidence.
