It wouldn’t be long before more camo comes loose to reveal more of the car’s bodywork and light designs. From these shots, we can see clearly the bumper treatment and faint outline of the front and tail-light shapes. Under the plastics, the headlights look as a cross between the CLS & SL.

It was however, quite challenging to secure an early release from the prototype vault at the Stuttgart factory. Having not made its debut prior to the shoot on Rodeo Drive, the vehicle had to travel to the US in a cloak of secrecy.
