New CLS Spied Again

Benz' s new CLS prototype has been caught in the act again and it looks like it will not disappoint. Styling looks sharp with a new front fascia that looks almost like the new CL and some curves and cues borrowed form the F800 Style concept. The elegant coupe line still remains as a major styling element in the car making it look even more aggressive. New LEDs provide a more aesthetically pleasing car compared to old car light which were very ugly. LED tail lamps are also one of the many things that still remain from the concept car. The new car will be powered by Mercedes' new V6 and V8 engines with stop start and a new direct injection technology. The new 3.5- litre V6 is 24% more economical than the old CLS but makes 33 bhp more making 301 bhp and a new 4.7-litre V8 replaces the old 5.5 litre mkaing the car 20% more fuel efficient and 47 bhp more powerful than the old engine for a total of 429 bhp. If that isint enough expect a CLS AMG which makes 563bhp from a new 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8. Expect to see the CLS at the Paris auto show and count on a UK lanch in early 2011.
