Alongside the E-Class Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz displayed an unnamed artistic sculpture in Detroit. It shows a vehicle body emerging from the ground, taking a soft, flowing form – as if a shimmering cloth was draped over a newly conceived design. We can see that it’s an coupe shape, with an arching roofline much like the CLS – could this preview Mercedes’ new four-door coupe?
This design teaser also shows Mercedes’ intention to use the wide SLS style grille beyond its original application (two bars here, one bar in the SLS). The wheelarches are emphasized on, but the rear haunches are very prominent in the style of the E-Class Coupe.
“The basic proportions challenge the onlooker to interpret the shape of the future, real product that may be nearing the end of its flowing design process,” teases Stuttgart.
UPDATE: Live photos added!

Danny Tan loves driving as much as he loves a certain herbal meat soup, and sweet engine music as much as drum beats. He has been in the auto industry since 2006, previously filling the pages of two motoring magazines before joining this website. Enjoys detailing the experience more than the technical details.
mesti mahal giler ni bro
This is the new concept car for Proton.
Somehow, Petronas convinced Mercedes to design a punyer-la-giler-b*bi kerete nasional… Check it out, the future Perdana.
(as if!)

Cool. Mercedes-Benz ROCK!!!
I'd wager this is the new CLS in concept form since there's been a few running around in Germany for validation
A great way to launch a new car!
Doesn't look like a possible 4 door coupe.
If anything, it would probably be the new SL
Just shows that Aston Martin got it right 10 years ago….
its time for a new cls !!!
Wow, hope it'll turn out to look great. CLS already puts a very high benchmark for a good-looking 4-door coupe. Even after many years, CLS today still looks stunningly beautiful. A timeless design remembered in the same rank as 190E, or BMW's E39.
cls, is hot but missing something
definitely cls
SEXY!!!
is like a really hot beautiful women with power body coated with paint… =)~
I think is new SLK
looks convincing
its the new CLC.
Where's Theo Chin?
Might he can do a good job rendering.
Show me your art, man.
Lol it's definitely not the CLC lah.
Btw do you guys realize why the silhouette is so appealing? Because they didn't put in side-view mirrors
