2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS - Click above for high-res image gallery
Underneath that sparse camouflage is the all-new 2011
Mercedes-Benz CLS, but you'd be forgiven for thinking that the update is only skin deep.
As the current CLS is based off the older
E-Class platform (W211), the 2011 model is set to swap to the updated architecture (W212) and gain a few new stylistic updates inspired by its siblings. Although the coupe-like roofline will remain, the rear fenders will gain the blisters originally seen on the new E, along with the upright grille pulled from the
SLS and more angular head- and taillamps.
Power is likely to be provided by Mercedes' new range of direct injected and turbocharged engines, available in both six- and eight-cylinder configurations and topping out in the mid-400 horsepower range. There's talk of a CLS 400 BlueHybrid variant and within a year of its debut - likely at the
Paris Motor Show this fall - we can expect a 5.5-liter twin-turbo'd AMG version.
