But fix that and it’s one hell of a car…

Not bad.
and for those diehard merc fanatics who think only overweight, influential and stately men drive these cars, and they’re supposed to cataer to the ‘elites’… what’s your answer to the SL65 AMG and the SLR?

Rey Craig, ART does independent custom body work and has nothing to do with Mercedes Benz. Even though I hate the design, it has nothing to do with rappers, but rather japanese styling. And yes, you are a closet racist.

I like how the back of that CLS looks like the back of an Accord 2-door, albeit with more stylized curves. Kind of ironic.

wow, craig has enough time to go off ranting but not enough time to comprehend the first damn sentence of the article…

Jeezus, read the freaking article. First sentence:
Tuning firm ART has unveiled an upgraded Mercedes CLS AMG called the GTR 560 and 620.

What part of that sentence leads you to believe that this is an AMG product? It’s modded by an outside tuner.

You don’t drive Mercs anymore because they don’t want retarded people buying their cars.

craigh,
you’re not right.
when you look @ the mercedes signs on the car yuo’ll find none.
because mercedes doesnt allow such a tuning.
the tuning companys have no right to display the star on the vehicle if
they modify the engine.
that is at all tuning companys such as amg or schnitzer so

sry for bad english

Hmmm…I like!! Even the wing!! It’s not a ricer, cause it has all that power to back it up.

That car WAS beautiful until they’ve done this

This is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen for a while. That is supposed to be a classy car and not a race car. You talk about 0-60 mph with cars that appeal to the younger crowd:crowd that has plenty of testosterones.My goodness what is happening to Humanity- have we gone completely mad!!!

Well, it’s sad that Mercedes Benz AG allowed their cars to go this far. It’s all about the money now. No pride and dignity. Merceds Benz has been known worldwide as one of the elites choice for their vehicles. From Foreign Government leaders, fortune 500, well off old money, even drug lords and smugglers overseas with class and taste (do not judge them on how they make their living). Now they are catering to the needs of “new age pimps”, like the “RAPPERS” with taste but absolutely no class. Mercs are just like everybody else, whores. I know other manufacturers like Bentley, Land Rovers, even Porsches are being pimped up, but they do not make or licensed an aftermarket company to “dress up their cars” it’s all up to those individual pimps with fast money. Notice they do not use gold anymore? They went up a bit by going platinum. All the way to their teeth brace. BLING BLING!!!
Merceds Benz AG, maybe you should consider going back with AMG, Lorinzer (AKA lorenzos from the boys in the hood) and those other aftermarket place to be careful with their “pimping” dressing out your cars, but as long as there is a big demand for both, I honestly do not see Mercedes Benz doing something about it. Same old story….. that is why I changed to Land Rovers. I used to drive 600sel, 600sec, 500sl, 560sel, even the old but beautiful 560sl. Never again buy MERCS. even though my heart still says Mercs.

While the wing might be an eyesore, I’m sure it does play a critical role in producing enough downforce for a car with that much power to keep it on the road.

Agreed 100% on all three counts!

Well it is an interesting look, I am sure the vents dont do much but they do give the fenders more width for wider wheels. The wing really does not suit the car and be interesting to see it in black!

Does that vent in the rear door actually do anything?

I like the front fascia, but that wing is an eye-sore.

Ugh. as in ugly. too bad someone ruined such a beautiful car.
