Mercedes has given its new, curiously styled CLS the AMG treatment. But before you start salivating about the E63"s infamous Drift Mode in swoopier, more svelte four-door, calm yourself. And prepare for a mild lecture. The introduction of another AMG product is also the dawn of a new AMG number. The current range includes 43s, 45s and 63s and now the 53. This is the CLS 53 AMG, and it has a new engine and some interesting tech. The base engine is as you"d expect a twin-turbo petrol. It"s a 3.0-litre straight-six, however, something you"d normally expect in a BMW.
