The new super sports car from ART for the European market on the basis CLS 350 is ready for take off. It covers all wishes concerning a hot-blooded sports car of formidable performance and subtle, elegant design in coupé manner. Unique star that leaves nothing to be desired.

I think it looks ok but I think that it would look much better if they put this bodykit on that rumored CLC Merc which is basically a CLS but only 2 doors.

Ehhhhhhhhh. I'm not impressed.
It's German rice. I say that because it's only a V6. And racing stripes? Come on. No German car can be taken seriously if it has racing stripes like that. And the bodykit's nauseous.

UHHHHHHHHHHh....That is probably the most pointless car I have seen in a while. Why not just get the CLS55, so that you will actually will look classy, and not like a confused wannabe..

I guess to each his own.... :roll:

Not only that, it has real performance to back it up. And in polizei form, craziest police car ever!

^ well it´s not that bad, but a tuned 55 (or now 63) AMG would rather fit these looks.
