The new super sports car (http://www.fast-autos.net/vehicles/ART_Tuning/2007/GTR_374/#) from ART for the European market on the basis CLS 350 is ready for take off. It covers all wishes concerning a hotblooded sports car of formidable performance and subtle, elegant design in coup manner. Unique star that leaves nothing to be desired.



The developers from ART in Nuremberg, Germany succeeded in launching the GTR 374 into the segment of top-class sports cars (http://www.fast-autos.net/vehicles/ART_Tuning/2007/GTR_374/#) for the European market. Comprehensive, tightly focussed upgrades transformed the basis CLS 350 into a meaty sports tool with brilliant performance. At the same time its appearance displays an air of diplomatic elegance, without drifting into the harsh design lines of its class competitors.

A shift into a higher level for the 4-door CLS coup from Mercedes-Benz concerning performance, exterior and interior. During the MotorShow Essen in December 2006 the refined sports vehicle (http://www.fast-autos.net/vehicles/ART_Tuning/2007/GTR_374/#) as shown above has its first introduction to the public. During 3 month extended roadshow the vehicle will be presented on the premises of the most successful Mercedes-Benz dealers in germany.

Looks so aggressive. Bodykit is a bit lairy though.

aha, another A.R.T. work

looks very nice, agressive, i like it, i dont know what lairy means but the bodykit is messy, the close shots, some of them are messy, dont know if they were in a rush of somesort, but i still like it, its soo cool and agressive!

somewhat reminds of the CLS Rocket..looks alright with the widebody

^yes, it's quite agressive.

i guess this is the first merc with sponsor stickers on it.and the most aggressive looking cls ever.looks damn sporty.

looks great

it should, the bodykit, see the front one, looks very similar to the brabus ones, the colour, there are black vinlys, the rims, they look similar...:D

Undoubtedly is looks great and aggressive.
There are always some part which look ugly.. but when it is in black.. everything would look awesome.

Anyone notice there are 2 arrows and 1 circle on the third picture?
Can anyone tell me why they are there ?

some making in process i suspect, or maybe they were testing the fittings, and forgot to erase it out, the camera guys came in suddenly...

or maybe they really forgot to somehow erase those stuff...

good observations

I like the looks of this car. It has relatively agressive styling, although it manages to keep those semi-soft lines that come standard with the car. It like the silver, black, and red. It seems to complete the car. Performance is awesome, too.

I can't stand it. Hell I can't stand any tuned CLS's. I love that black line running down the side of the car though, and the gills at the wheel wells look cool/functional too. But the front and those red wheels are really ugly. I'd probably get the Kleeman CLS instead.

Mmmm......tuned CLS..

I like it. I like it a lot. The stock CLS was awesome but this really is a work of ART. (:p) I really love the bodykit. Red wheels are awesome aswell, and black stripes and a silver paint finish is awesome aswell.

Bodykit is well worked aswell. Very nice performance too.

i think they have wrecked the lovely class and beauty of the car . don't like what they have done and looks the same as all the other tuning efforts . id rather have a slower cls that looks in my opinion nicer.

The CLS was supposed to be an elegant car. These tuners are really killing it, but I suppose they are great for autobahn super cruising.

^^ Suppose it's kinda true, the car is rather spoilt...white..ugh

Personally I love white CLS, my favourite colour though. I enjoy seeing them tuned, as they seem to take bodykits, and just carry them off seemlessly. You can hardlys tell it has a widebodykit if it wasn't for the ducts.

I like the CLS Rocket more.. it looks more aggressive

Cool enough to bring ze "Inna Bavarian" inside "Mich."

Is it just me or do I find almost every Benz tuned by ART is a lil' bit over-the-top and odd looking?!
