Mercedes-Benz Shooting Break Concept (2010)
The side profile is given a touch of dynamism thanks to the high, exaggerated beltline sweeping towards the rear, and the dramatic character line which is supported by the powerful-looking rear The grille is flanked on each side by full LED headlamps, which for the first time feature LED technology for all of the usual dynamic light functions. The design of the front is completely new, but makes use of elements which are mindful of the SLS AMG super sports car: the radiator grille, with the large star and eye-catching, bionic slats, is not integrated into the bonnet but has been designed separately in the form of a "soft nose". Wide and flat, with a long bonnet and a roof which continues through to the rear: the Mercedes-Benz Shooting Break concept car features some astonishing proportions which at the same time are clearly reminiscent of another design icon - the CLS.
