We’ve seen spy shots of the next-gen CLS a few weeks back, but here are some more. This time we not only get to see the back of the test mule, but also the front and side. Test engineers have actually covered it up so much that it’s almost impossible to recognize the CLS, nevertheless, the world-famous CLS form is there and clearly visible. The spy photographer noted that it will be based on the E-Class and not the S-Class platform, as some have suggested. It will however, get the BlueHybrid engine that will be coming with the S 400, as well as all the diesel and gasoline engines from the E-Class; and of course the AMG version.
