It will still be a while before you can get up, close and personal with the second generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLS, but thanks to a gallery of official photos that hit the web, there’s nothing left to show but the press release.
The new Mercedes CLS, previewed by the German carmaker’s Shooting Break Concept shown earlier this year, is more of an evolution of the current model than a completely new take on the four-door sports saloon theme.
Set to have its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show at the end of September, the new CLS will be offered with a variety of new engines including the company’s new 3.5-litre V6 producing 225 kW and 4.7-litre bi-turbocharged V8 with 315 kW.
The lineup will also include diesel options (depending on the market) while the range will be crowned with an AMG version powered by Mercedes new 5.5-litre twin-turbo V8 making at least 394 kW.
The 2011 CLS will be a direct rival for the all-new Audi A7 Sportback, Porsche Panamera, Maserati Quattroporte and in the very near future, for BMW’s Gran Coupe sports sedan also.
