Color Speaks

The vehicle comes with its own unique paint finish, a color dubbed by Spencer Hart as "Nick Hart Midnight Blue." The CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake's exterior doesn't carry a comprehensive list of modifications apart from Hart's signature color, but the interior of the luxury shooting brake is an entirely different matter.

Inspired by The Vault

The cabin takes inspiration from the fashion designer's flagship store on Brook Street in London. More specifically, his exclusive walnut-paneled personal shopping area, "The Vault," was used as an inspiration in dressing up the interior of the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake.

Undeniably Spencer Hart

One undeniable highlight is the dark Chocolate Brown Italian leather seating with contrasting Midnight Blue stitching. Also notice that the Spencer Hart logo is neatly embroidered into each headrest with Nick Hart’s signature ever so subtly embroidered on the center console.

Mercedes CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake

It's shape as a station wagon doesn't do much in the way of appeal for the coupe-loving people out there. But make no mistake: the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake is prepared to waste away the fools who think it's just a 'family car'.

Looking the part of a conquering German wagon, the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake carries the distinctive and highly appealing design of the entire CLS family. That's a big deal.

More importantly, the CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake model is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 biturbo engine that delivers a total of 525 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque while mated to a SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission. Take those numbers into consideration and you have a luxury wagon that can hit 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
