1st Generation CLS Shows Some Fangs
The second generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLS was introduced
at this year’s Paris Motor Show after which orders for the luxury
4-door were entertained. The first-generation CLS will not be
easily forgotten, however, as this 4-door coupe was one of the
vehicles responsible for the increased popularity of this segment.

Renowned German tuning house Carlsson, a tuner specializing in Mercedes-Benz vehicles,
developed a limited edition model based on the Mercedes CL 65 AMG and renamed it as the
Carlsson CK65. From that lofty base, Platinum Motorsport, an American aftermarket company,
upgraded this already remarkable Carlsson CK65, performing a few more modifications to put a
stamp of their own. Without going to extreme styles, the company added a Carlsson aerodynamic
kit that enhances the menacing sportiness of the car.

The front bumper add-on element comes with additional air intakes, as well as custom headlights
that use a black theme. New side skirts combining air intakes for the rear wheels have been
installed, which continues to the rear as an apron and a diffuser. Also installed were new
fenders with an enhanced appearance combining air vents for the front wheels.

A spoiler for the rear decklid enhances the sweeping look of the vehicle. The entire look is
finished with a set of 21-inch Agetro W150 wheels shod with ultra-low profile tires.
This first-gen CLS is still definitely a looker, even with its 2nd generation replacement on the
horizon.
