Let's become serious... The new CLS Shooting Brake of Mercedes-Benz looks like a very flat version of the ingenious R-class... Perhaps a very flat sandwich-floor could be integrated in a car like the MB CLS Shooting Brake in order to unify the 2 concepts...
This step is possible because technologies that were intended to debut in the sandwich-floor of the R-class (electric batteries, hydrogen fuel tanks, fuel cells etc.) become smaller and smaller and no greater room is required for them any more... Nevertheless these technologies could mean the future of car design...
What is the advantage of the MB CLS Shooting Brake to the MB R-class? The new car is more sportive, it is more comfortable to use (no 3rd row of seats) and it is more secure as well, and if you turn it into an off-roader it has got better off-road-qualities, too as it is lighter... However the MB CLS Shooting Break prides itself on a huge luggage compartment as well...
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
