Mercedes-Benz W218 CLS350 AMG Sports Package

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

The styling of the CLS, which created a new trend for "four-door coupes", is still super attractive...! The 2014 second-generation CLS350AMG Sports Package, which has come down in price surprisingly after only 10 years, is still full of the best commercial value even today, and is a car that will satisfy the hearts of those who drive it...!

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

 

 

As long as you don't get hung up on the special value of being the latest and greatest, you can have a car by your side that lets you fully enjoy the wonderful taste of the world's finest.

Milestone values ​​that have always created the flow of the times, always slightly removed from the rhythm of commercial technological development that evolves every day at an astonishingly fast speed, eventually mature over time and after 30 years are called "heritage"... and from then on, in the opposite direction to the passage of time, new values ​​are accumulated with each passing year... It is the privilege of enthusiasts to know this well...

However, in the crucible of the market economy, where everyone must create new products commercially and permanently in order to survive, and continue selling them, this is a particularly notable phenomenon in the automobile industry. After just a short time, a car that once had an eight-digit price tag can be driven for an astonishing one-tenth of that price.

If you drive a car with this knowledge, your satisfaction will be greater than if you were to pay ten times as much. It may be the privilege of enthusiasts to be well aware that the product value that the manufacturers, designers, and engineers of that time put forward to revolutionize the world has not faded at all.

Right before my eyes was a magnificent car without a single flaw or stagnation... A 2014 Mercedes-Benz W218 with a diamond white body and a wonderful interior in black and anthracite color tones with wonderful stitching, giving off the feeling of being fresh from the factory...

Carefully preserved in a garage with a shutter, the CLS350AMG sports package had a mileage of less than 35,000 km, making this a milestone car in automotive history that set a trend for four-door coupes...

"You can drive this for this price...!" It was filled with fascinating values ​​and a wonderful aura that brought tears of satisfaction to anyone who drove it, as it quietly stood before my eyes...

 

 

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

Get hooked on the extremely sleek body and dynamic design that gave birth to a new trend of "4-door coupes" with beautiful dynamic body lines...! The W218 CLS350, which became the second generation CLS, was a car like this...!

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

 

 

Despite having four doors, the roof line forms a gentle and beautiful arch like a coupe... The source of the CLS's appeal is its sashless four-door hardtop, which astonished the world when it was announced in 2004, asking, "Wow, someone even managed to do something like this?"

In fact, after the first-generation W219 CLS, released in 2004, became a huge hit around the world, European automakers all announced follow-up models, such as Audi's A7, Volkswagen's CC, Porsche's Panamera, and BMW's 6 Series Gran Coupe.

Initially, a group of designers in Stuttgart led by Gorden Wagener of Daimler AG derived the design of the previous E-Class W211 sedan, and designed the CL-Class, which had a seating capacity of four but was essentially a one-seater for sales strategy purposes.... By combining this concept with the luxurious texture of the S-Class, a new category was born, the "CLS" (Coupe Light Sports)....

Resistance to change has always existed...

When Mercedes released the first CLS in 2004, the comments from classic critics were all harsh, even when researching foreign literature now...

However, once you see its innovative appearance on the road, everyone who sees it is enthralled, saying, "There has never been such an impressive four-door car before..."

The bold attempt by Daimler AG's Stuttgart designers led the first-generation W219 (2004-2010) to become a huge hit, selling over 170,000 units worldwide, and European rival manufacturers panicked and started developing 4-door coupes one after another, as mentioned above.

In the midst of this intensifying competition, Daimler AG, like the "principles of its predecessors," announced a next-generation concept car called the "Mercedes-Benz F800 Style" at the Genoa Motor Show in 2010 as a new corporate styling theme.

And... this fascinating concept style, which was very well received, was "just like that" and remodeled into the second-generation CLS, which was announced the following year in 2011... the W218 CLS series, with the development code one number earlier...

The second-generation CLS that was born in this way is a beautiful new model created primarily by designers, incorporating a novel corporate styling theme that anticipates Stuttgart's future.

Let's take a closer look at this wonderful design, turning our attention to the dazzling diamond white 2014 CLS350 in front of us...!

It was a scorching hot day for the photoshoot, but I forgot myself... I let my instincts take over... and I took dozens of photos, especially of the view from the rear quarter end...! The beauty of the W218 second generation CLS bodyline was so amazing that I was entranced...!

Not only does it feature a new grille that faces powerfully forward, reminiscent of the classic SL-Class, but the entire body is beautifully sculpted with aggressive press lines that exude a sense of rhythm...

When viewed from around the rear quarter, the two powerful press lines on the sides of the body, clearly present at a low position, merge beautifully with the dynamically emphasized rear fenders that exude a sense of width like over fenders, creating a beauty that you can gaze at again and again...!

And if you look further ahead from there...

The front fenders and engine hood, which also emphasize a sense of width... are made up of press lines that overlap in multiple layers, leading to a beautifully sculpted front bumper with full LED headlamps and aggressive air intakes...!

Furthermore, this 2014 CLS350 is equipped with the AMG Sports Package, and although it has four doors, it is a complete driver's car, and one of its great attractions is that you can get behind the wheel and enjoy a dynamic, sporty driving experience...!

As for the equipment contents...　　

・Airmatic suspension

・AMG styling package (front spoiler, rear skirt)

・Twin chrome exhaust end (square design)

・Single louver front grille

・Contrast color stitching interior

・Stainless steel accelerator and brake pedals

・Bar wood interior trim

・AMG floor mats

・AMG sports steering wheel

And more...!

and···!

When you get in, it's just like a magic carpet ride!

The ride quality of the CLS, equipped with the Airmatic suspension, is a mature version of Mercedes-Benz's air suspension. The excellent handling of a sports coupe with firm body roll control gives the large body agility and makes it run lively!

When you close the thick doors, the interior is filled with wonderful silence, but the newly developed direct injection 3.5-liter V6 engine is incredibly powerful, with 306ps/6500rpm and 37.7kgm/3500-5250rpm, and it revs up to the redline with ease. In contrast to this unknown silence, the car has a wonderfully sharp sound that stimulates the driver with his right foot firmly planted, and makes him want to drive with the windows wide open, as if to ascend to heaven!

 

A new-age Mercedes-Benz that takes the environment into consideration... naturally, its "new appeal" is not limited to its emotionally appealing power performance...

It is equipped with many fuel-saving features, such as a newly designed electric power steering that saves 4% of fuel, piezo injectors, dual variable cams, multi-spark technology that allows up to four sparks per ms, low-friction moving parts, on-demand oil pump and alternator, automatic start and stop, etc.

In addition to these features, aluminum material is boldly adopted for major components such as the bonnet, trunk lid, front fenders, and doors. As a result, while the body weight is the same as the previous model, the torsional rigidity has been greatly improved by 6% and the bending rigidity by 28%. The new styling theme inherited from the F800, which has reached the pinnacle of its elegance, boasts an air resistance coefficient of 0.26 (!), and while the W218 CLS is slightly larger and better built than the previous W219 model, its fuel efficiency has improved by 25%, which may be hard to believe!

 

And here's a list of the latest equipment:

Bi-xenon headlights

Dual-zone automatic air conditioning

Power sunroof

Satellite navigation system with 10GB hard disk drive

Anti-lock brakes

Electronic stability control

Active head restraints

Front, side and knee airbags, total of 10 safety features

Driver fatigue detection function

Lane departure warning system function

And so on and so forth.

 

It reflects the times and is environmentally friendly, yet its driving is powerful and sporty...! Despite its dynamic size of 4,960mm in length, it displays amazing agility and top-level features that continue to fascinate enthusiasts around the world who know all about the appeal of cars, providing great satisfaction to owners...

Until now, the Mercedes-Benz CLS was a crossover between "sedan" and "coupe," which were largely separated by a line. This

may be the best form that far surpasses previous concepts.

And this second-generation W218 CLS is beautifully crafted, provides the driver with the best driving experience, and is also very environmentally friendly.

Now that 10 years have passed since its release and the price has surprisingly come down, it is the perfect time to drive it every day without hesitation and develop your sensibilities. I believe this is a car that will greatly enrich the daily lives of its owners.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

 

 

Without any reservations... this is a wonderful car with less than 35,000km on the clock... and it still has that factory smell.

The owner has been driving Mercedes-Benz for a long time...

In 2018, about 6 years ago, the owner purchased this one-owner car from a local Yanase dealer...

Since then, until the car's inspection expired in January of this year, the Yanase dealer where the car was purchased had it undergo 24-month inspections and vehicle inspection renewals... As shown in the 50th photo, all the books including the handling instructions from when the car was new and the maintenance records during that time are included...

The vehicle number makes it clear that this is a "Japanese-spec right-hand drive vehicle"...

The details of this vehicle are as follows...

The owner is a wonderful person who truly loves Mercedes-Benz, but as life stages change for everyone, he has not driven the car and has kept it stored in a garage with a completely sealed shutter, and for the past six months has occasionally started the engine to keep it in good condition...

Of course, there are no problems at present, and it is expected to pass the vehicle inspection without any problems. Based on the history of how he has looked after it up until now, he would like to pass on this wonderful car with extremely low mileage to someone who has fallen in love with the styling and will cherish it and take it over...

2014 Mercedes-Benz W218 CLS350 AMG Sports Package... Post-interview notes....

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

 

 

The author is a huge fan of classic Mercedes cars, from the 1960s W111 to the 1980s W123, but the second-generation CLS, derived from the E-series after the millennium and clad in the S-class style, is simply amazing! Looking at the car in such great condition in front of me many times, I was deeply impressed during the interview.

"I can ride such a modernized and wonderful value at this price...!" When I think back to the interview... and when I do my research again, I can't help but smile many times...

I truly believe that taking the sad truth of "the flow of the times..." in a positive way and choosing to do so is a great path for an enthusiast...

The styling of the CLS, which created a new trend for "four-door coupes", is still super attractive! The 2014 second-generation CLS350AMG sports package, which has surprisingly come down in price after only 10 years, is still full of the best value even today, and is a car that will satisfy the hearts of those who drive it!

Please come to Nagano Prefecture for a wonderful tour that will satisfy your soul.

 

 

This 2014 Mercedes-Benz W218 CLS350 AMG Sports Package, which still smells like it's fresh from the factory, is currently located in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture.
