New Mercedes-Benz CLS Features Athletic Look

Aug. 24, 2010 - PRLog -- The typical Mercedes-Benz CLS outline, with its elegantly long proportions, is the dominating attribute of the new model.

According to the German manufacturer, a new interplay of lines and areas enhances the car's dynamic, athletic form.

The front edge of the structure, above the mudguards, which slopes off towards the rear is a novel design feature.

Furthermore, this feature represents a new interpretation of a formal design element which harks back to the "uniquely rich wealth of forms" present in historic Mercedes-Benz sports cars.

"A distinctive and muscular sports car-like shoulder line above the rear axle highlights the athletic character of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS," the manufacturer said.

Meanwhile, the flared wheel arches resemble the "powerful thighs of a feline predator waiting to pounce".

Added to this, the shape of the new model is emphasised by the broad shoulder line, which is clearly visible from behind and supports the flat hardtop.

The new Mercedes-Benz CLS is set to make its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show in October.
