The past year has been quite good us here at Winding Road. We’ve driven and reviewed some truly incredible vehicles, and captured that experience by way of WR TV. Here’s a selection of our favorite drives from the past 12 months, along with their respective videos.
Mercedes-Benz has done an interesting balancing act with the CLS63 AMG. On the one hand, it’s a lavishly equipped, tech-laden luxmobile for four people, that looks like very few other cars on the road. On the other, it’s essentially a street-legal rocket, capable of sending your eyeballs towards the back of your skull with little in the way of provocation. It’ll then attempt to remove your eyeballs clear from the sockets when you stomp on the huge carbon-ceramic brakes. This is a bipolar car, stable one minute, and absolutely bonkers the next. Which is exactly the way we like it.
Mercedes-Benz has just taken the wraps off of the AMG version of its new CLS-Class. The 2012 CLS63 AMG produces 518 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from its 5.5-liter biturocharged V-8.
