Mercedes is already working at the second generation CLS that will make its world debut during a major car show in late 2010 with sales following in early 2011. Big news is, that next to the standard engine, the future CLS will also be offered as a hybrid.
It will get the same powertrain as the forthcoming S400 Hybrid that will be launched at the end of 2009, which means that the CLS Hybrid will make use of lithium-ion batteries that not only weigh less but also offer more power than the nickel hydride units used in today’s hybrids.
Design will follow the basic shape of the current generation model adorned with styling elements from the German automaker’s newest cars.
Based on the facelifted Mercedes CLS, the Lorinser CLS L 55 RS body kit features a front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, rear air diffuser with integrated sport exhaust system, 20” alloy Lorinser RS 6 wheels and a stylish rear spoiler.
