2011 Mercedes CLS coupe caught with minimal camouflage

First introduced in 2004, the CLS was a formula for success. It combined the best of both worlds – coupe looks and four seats. Have a look at all the models introduced on similar lines and you know why the CLS was such a successful formula. We showed you some spy pictures of the CLS during a photo shoot but the front end was hidden in the pictures. Now though, everything is left for you too see and observe. There are lots of great styling touches that are deemed to make the new CLS a certain hit.

Hit the jump for more details and pictures.

The rear lights are a work of art – they take an organic shape with LEDs. The grille is prominent with the Mercedes Benz logo sticking out. The aggressive bumper, daytime running lights and long bonnets are touches seen earlier on the shooting brake concept. All the best part of the earlier car has been retained with subtle changes that brings it inline with Mercedes’ modern design direction. There will be new engines too, the 350CGi and 550CGi along with various downsized and boosted powerplants. To hold on against expensive competition, the CLS is expected to get all wheel drive option coupled to the mad AMG version. Those looking for a tamed version can opt for diesel and petrol four pots.
