An AMG Mystery (Automotive)

On April 4th, at the New York Auto show, Mercedes AMG will be unveiling a new vehicle. There is some debate in regards to what it will actually be. Quoted from the worldcarfans blog: "In the past Mercedes has revealed AMG models at NY such as the CL 65 (W215) and SL 65 in 2004 and E 63 in 2006. But which one could it be? Perhaps new generation W216 CL 65, CLS 65 or even an E 65?"

Based solely on the single door handle and the contours I believe it must be a coupe. More specifically I think it is actually the new CLK63 black. The rims look dtm style, and the carbon fiber shown in the other pictures which I have not included here are usually on the black models. (A higher performance level than regular AMG) I have made the visual comparison with the CL600 below. While there are some similarities, I believe the CL600 looks longer than the masked vehicle, especially in the rear. I have had a lot of experience with the current CLK, and I am very familiar with it's side profile. Because of this and the other reasons I mentioned above, I will put my ass on the line and say CLK63 black. Come back on April 4th to learn how right or wrong I am. Feel free to make your guesses in the comment section.
