2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nUnderneath that sparse camouflage is the all-new 2011 Mercedes-Benz<\/a> CLS<\/a>, but you’d be forgiven for thinking that the update is only skin deep.<\/p>\n

As the current CLS is based off the older E-Class<\/a> platform (W211), the 2011 model is set to swap to the updated architecture (W212) and gain a few new stylistic updates inspired by its siblings. Although the coupe-like roofline will remain, the rear fenders will gain the blisters originally seen on the new E, along with the upright grille pulled from the SLS<\/a> and more angular head- and taillamps. <\/p>\n

Power is likely to be provided by Mercedes’ new range of direct injected and turbocharged engines, available in both six- and eight-cylinder configurations and topping out in the mid-400 horsepower range. There’s talk of a CLS 400 BlueHybrid variant and within a year of its debut – likely at the Paris Motor Show<\/a> this fall – we can expect a 5.5-liter twin-turbo’d AMG version.<\/p>\n
