Photos Of ASMA-Design's Mercedes CLS Shark II

Posted by www.eMercedesBenz.com on November 25, 2005 at 12:30 PM CST

A while back, we brought you the first photos of ASMA-Design's new  
tuning package for the CLS, dubbed the CLS Shark, as well as a new  
tuning package for the upcoming 2007 S-Class.

ASMA's designs were both met with mixed reviews - some of you thought  
they'd be perfect for Glock-totin' hip-hop moguls everywhere; some of  
you though they'd be better suited for a Honda; and some of you  
actually liked the way ASMA re-styled the Mercedes.

If you're in the latter camp, you're in for a treat; if not, let the  
hating begin.

ASMA has just unveiled a new tuning package for the CLS, dubbed the  
CLS Shark II.  It features much of the same styling the standard CLS  
Shark received, including side vents, rear apron, and side skirts,  
but what sets the CLS Shark II apart is the ridiculously huge grille  
on the front of the vehicle - it has to be the biggest grille I've  
ever seen.

I don't know what it is, but the more I look at the car, the more I  
think it looks like Darth Vader's helmet.  Paint it black, add a horn  
that says "Luke, I am your father," and Star Wars fanatics from the  
dark side won't be able to buy the AMSA Shark II fast enough  
(although Star Wars fanatics led by The Force might pull out their  
plastic lightsabers and beat it like a piņata).

Whatever your view of the new ASMA-Design CLS Shark II, there's no  
denying it's different.  We'll leave it up to you whether or not  
that's a good thing.
