MERCEDES-BENZ CLS had lived their shelf-life for six years, but still looks fresh and cool. Mercedes was currently working hard to prepare the next generation of this remarkable car that will appear next year. And as usual a lot of speculation about how and what shape the new model later, and this is one of them.
CLS is the first car with four-door coupe form that directly copied by many major car manufacturers. 2011 Model C218-coded display features like predecessor, but the overall design is estimated to be more mature and nearly flawless.
With that perception, the new CLS will probably become a little less sporting but more different and more like an executive saloon. He could be wider and more spacious interior than the model currently available.
Regarding the engine, a strong suspicion that CLS would carry the equivalent machine with the E-Class as the basis of locomotion. Thus, CLS will be available also with four-cylinder engine BlueEfficiency.
If true, automatically CLS will also be available in his AMG version. But the Mercedes is not clear whether to use a V8 engine normally aspirated 6.2-liter or will run a new plan that uses a V8 engine twin-turbo 5.5-liter is better overall in terms of efficiency. That little can be believed, he'll use the automatic transmission 7-G TRONIC with features start / stop system.
The owner of the current chassis 2004 and his wife, first met McNamara in 1987, when they traveled to Northern California to buy DeTomaso Vallelunga from McNamara. He took a tour of the couple through a row of stables contain special Italian sports cars, two of which ATS 2001 and 2004 chassis.
The couple pleaded with McNamara would sell one of his ATS but was rejected. They waited for three years, but the answer did not change. These potential buyers frustrated and moved with his family to Costa Rica and the dream seemed to disappear at that time.
McNamara sold the most valuable car collections, including the ATS in 2001, while 2004 retained. By coincidence, in the year 2005 (nearly 20 years after meeting with the ATS in 2004), the current owner knew of the existence of these vehicles in a warehouse in Northern California. He went back to negotiations and this time succeeded.

Since the new running 3000 km, all components are working properly, such as bearings, bushing, shock absorbers, brakes and brake shoes and clutch. Especially when after the show, the car is returned to Costa Rica and the total dibongar to check the wear and tear to the bolts.
Engine and transmission were not left behind. Valves entirely reset and rebuilt in order to maintain the perfect stay, while the interior covered in black Connolly leather, Wilton carpets are made of genuine wool, and vintage Heuer Pilot Speed and chronometer rally.
For the record business has its own body. Body and rust-free fully sasisnya because McNamara kept in the garage and covered for more than 35 years in the dry desert of California near Modesto Utaro border with Nevada until the current owner bought it.
Vehicles that have engines that can work up to 9000 rpm is restored back to finish in July 2009 and then to go back on display in the prestigious event and the prestigious world-famous Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Unfortunately ATS disadvantaged dibagian event to win the third place in the sports car category of the post-World War which was his most competitive class.
