Mercedes CLT Concept to be revealed in Paris

Mercedes will unveil at the Paris Auto Show the CLT Concept, a Shooting Brake (Sports Wagon) model based on the new CLK. The concept will be powered by a Blue-hybrid diesel drive, the series production will follow in 2010.

The CLT was first supposed to be based on the SLK, but the CLK was chosen because the car wanted to have a more elegant appearance and offer generous interior space. Like the concept, the production version will be offered as a hybrid model, in conjunction with the new 252-hp V6 diesel.

Expect the CLT to show a preview of the design language that will be used in the future E-Class.
