At the Detroit Auto Show, Mercedes is showing a car sculpture that previews the 2011 CLS and a new design language for the automaker.
The sculpture is an exclusive, sensuous creation and extraordinarily eye-catching. But it also transports car design into a new, artistic reality. “To us, automobile design means artistic, aesthetically and sensuously oriented creation”, says Head of Design Prof. Gorden Wagener.
“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 yet emotional and highly sensuous. Mercedes-Benz is the brand best able to present automobile design as an art form in an authentic way.”
New Mercedes-Benz design is expected to be more edgier than today’s wedge shape design. Hopefully we get to see the new new CLS already in March at the Geneva Motor Show.
