To us, Mercedes Benz cars and their owners represent the finest in art, culture, and style.  This idea was solidified at this year’s Detroit Auto Show, where Mercedes Benz revealed a sculpture that hints at the design future for the CLS four-door coupe.  The sculpture is sleek and classy, and sure gets us pumped about the future of the CLS. Check out the pictures below, courtesy of The Motor Report along with a few quotes by Mercedes Board Chairman Dr. Dieter Zetsche  and Head of Design, Prof Gorden Wagener, concerning rumors about the future of Mercedes Benz design.

“Creativity and inspiration are always the driving forces behind outstanding engineering achievements,” Dr Zetsche said at Detroit today. “With this work of art, we want to express the characteristic Mercedes-Benz design and, at the same time, convey an impression of our forthcoming new models.”

“To us, automobile design means artistic, aesthetically and sensuously oriented creation,” Head of Design, Prof Gorden Wagener said. “Mercedes-Benz designers translate their artistic inspiration into the modern idiom of Mercedes-Benz automobile design, which combines dramatic details with harmony, style and passion. Mercedes-Benz design is clear, calm and consistent, but emotional and highly sensuous… (and)… best able to present automobile design as an art form in an authentic way.”

GlobalMotors.net was recently updated with some new spy-shots of the supposed 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. The vehicle is still heavily camoflauged. It is rumored that it will either be based off the S-Class chassis or an extended E-Class. Take a look at the additional pictures and information provided by GlobalMotors.net.
