Mercedes Math: S550 + CL550 = CS500?

Saudi tuner shops get different requests than the mod-masters in the US. While we may ask for bodyside moldings and a little something under the hood, the Saudis are just as likely to electroplate a precious metal onto their luxury rides. Since luxury vehicles seem to grow on trees in the world's oil capitol, tuner MyCar is challenged with differentiating these high-end vehicles to make them stand out in a crowd.

This time, MyCar went as far as creating an all new Mercedes, the CS500. It's basically a gold S550 with the front end of a CL550, but MyCar thought it unique enough to give it its own name; the CS500. As you can see from the photo above, the CS500 looks good enough to trick the untrained eye into believing it's an all-new vehicle. Actually, the CL550 front end actually makes the S550 look a bit more stylish, if you ask us. Maybe someone in Stuttgart should take note.



Before i read the article, i seriously thought this might be a car Mercedes was to show at Geneva. It looks factory done.

i actually kinda like that better than the stock s550 front end. IMHO Mercedes peaked with last generations body design. Im not a big fan of all the new designs they are putting out. granted its not that i hate the new design scheme entirely but i just preffer last generations design.

Exactly. Mercedes has already got the E Class coupe ready so a CL four door isnt a radicle idea.

All the new E class models will have that front. I was really hoping for a more S or C class style front. Kind something along the lines of the W124.
