ok, i know this is off topic, but since the CLS is for the distinctive eye, i thought we'd all enjoy this, i know i am. wonder where they got styling ideas from???? GT killer!!!

Provocative

Hmmm....

Other than the fact that it is unique, I don't like it that much. It looks like a japanese car.

MDCLS

Looks like a throwback auto design from the 30's Art Deco era with a Bugatti mouth.

I've seen better.

Okay, honestly this looks wicked, but I'd never drive it. Probably because I haven't seen the rear and the rims look cheapo.

they just did an endurance test with it in italy. they ran it at 205mph for 7+ hours!!! not sure if that meant stops for refueling, or what...

its still a concept.

info from MB direct.

thanks for the post adam76 - a diversion now and again keeps us wondering. this does have some retro features - i'm wondering if its a MB senior exec plaything or if something else is going on.

It's gotta have stopped for refuel. Even 60mph @ 7hours average comes out to around 420 miles. That's an amazingly large gas tank capacity.

MDCLS

Looking at it again, the roofline resembles the CL and SL. The headlights look more Japanese influenced like in that Lexus design concept that is making the rounds. Any links? Tried Googling without success.

Side view is sickkkk!

the cars are slightly differnt, not sure if theyre the same, different variations, or what...the headlights are diff, it looks like one has a fuel door on the rear pillar, the slope on the rear seems diff and possibly, and the rear deck, IMO.

i like this maybach coupe much more than the sedan.

Thanks. 6500 lbs/ 0-60 4.4 seconds. 19ft long. Strickly a 2 seater. It must be hiding a V24 under that long hood. j/k
