The M5 Touring is powered by a 5.0-litre V10 petrol engine developing 507bhp and 384 lb ft of pulling power - that's enough to take the car to 60mph in 4.8sec, just 0.1sec behind the saloon.

The current CLK is four years old, so it’s not surprising that the highlight here is the new, AMG-developed 6.2-liter V-8 beast that is spreading throughout Mercedes’ lineup of cranked-up AMG cars. It puts out 475 horsepower in the CLK63, making last year’s 362-hp CLK55 AMG seem somewhat tame.
