First drive: Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake

The sweeping lines of the elegant CLS-class receive some extra inches at the rear, meaning this shooting brake is geared up for transporting way more than just the odd dignitary in the back.

Under the bonnet, a mighty 5.5 litre V8 provides enough shove to power a small train, making the whole package a slightly bizarre option for anyone with any regard for their finances.
