As Mercedes-Benz prepares for the celebration of the automobile’s 125th birthday on January 29, the German automaker has revealed that it will also launch its integrated advertising campaign for the new CLS coupe.

The automaker is keen on putting the CLS on the forefront of consumers’ awareness, with the campaign encompassing practically all types of media. You’ve got a TV spot, extensive print ads, pre-roll ads and even some Internet-based marketing. To engage the people, there are also some interactive marketing activities in store for those who eagerly await the CLS.

Of course, there’s the omnipresent TV ad, which shows just how alluring the new CLS is. Films showing online and on movie theaters are also part of the campaign. The print component involves 12 different ads that aim to hype up the vehicle’s visual appeal and other qualities. Netizens can also log on to view an interactive web special, featuring a short story penned by Joey Goebel.

“With the launch of this model in October 2004 Mercedes-Benz established a bold, new vehicle concept and the new version builds on this with its exciting design and refined sportiness”, said Mercedes-Benz Cars Head of Brand Communications Anders Sundt Jensen.

“On top of this, the coupé offers even greater efficiency, agility and safety than before. Every driver of the new CLS will be able to feel this perfect combination of sensuality and sense which makes this such an unique vehicle. And that is what we focus on in the campaign.” The new CLS showcases the fusion of fuel economy and power, a fitting tribute on the day the automobile was born.

2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS Is Released

Fast cars and beautiful women have always been a successful mix and Mercedes-Benz is taking advantage of this proven combination in having model Karolina Kurkova endorse the 2011 CLS Coupe.

Two six-cylinder models are initially available, the CLS 350 CDI with 265 horsepower, priced at around $88,000 and the CLS 350, priced at around $90,000 with an engine giving 306 hp. This model includes as standard the ECO start/stop function. Mercedes-Benz states that all of the CLS engines are new and have up to 25% improved fuel consumption as compared to the previous models. This improvement was helped by the use of an electromechanical Direct-Steer system.

Karolina, a Victoria’s Secret angel, stated that the Mercedes-Benz CLS is “a beautifully smooth and luxurious car that immediately appealed to me. It has these fascinating contours that I wanted to convey with my body language during the shooting. I can imagine myself behind the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz CLS. It fits my style. Since I recently got my driving license, I need to gain more experience driving. And I’m sure that would be great fun with the new CLS.”

A choice of five interior colours, five trim variants and three leather types are available to buyers of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS.

Carlsson is at it again. For those of you who aren’t all too impressed with what the base Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 does, let us introduce you to the version the German tuner has come up with.

The Carlsson Tuning kit for the CLS 350 features some subtle tweaks to the exterior, providing a customized touch and some added points for good looks. There are a bunch of aerodynamic enhancements for the exterior, from the front’s updated grille and new chin spoiler to the rear’s new diffuser that’s integrated into the exhaust.

There are some air outlet gills out on the side as well. The exterior cosmetic changes include LED fog lights that match the daytime LEDs, a new bulgy hood and some of Carlsson’s drool-worthy 20-inch alloy wheels. The interior also receives some bonuses, such as Alcantara leather accented by brushed aluminum.

On top of those, this Carlsson upgrade also features performance enhancements. The CK35 tuning kit, which offers boosts in power and torque output, has been applied to the CLS 350 CGI petrol power plant as well as the CLS 350 CDI diesel engine. This upgrade should improve the acceleration times by quite a bit, from 6.1 to 5.9 seconds on the CGI and from 6.2 to 5.9 seconds on the CDI.

The icing on the cake? Both trims still retain Euro 5 emissions qualifications.

1st Generation CLS Shows Some Fangs

first generation mercedes cls 1st Generation CLS Shows Some FangsThe second generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLS was introduced at this year’s Paris Motor Show after which orders for the luxury 4-door were entertained. The first-generation CLS will not be easily forgotten, however, as this 4-door coupe was one of the vehicles responsible for the increased popularity of this segment.

Renowned German tuning house Carlsson, a tuner specializing in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, developed a limited edition model based on the Mercedes CL 65 AMG and renamed it as the Carlsson CK65. From that lofty base, Platinum Motorsport, an American aftermarket company, upgraded this already remarkable Carlsson CK65, performing a few more modifications to put a stamp of their own. Without going to extreme styles, the company added a Carlsson aerodynamic kit that enhances the menacing sportiness of the car.

The front bumper add-on element comes with additional air intakes, as well as custom headlights that use a black theme. New side skirts combining air intakes for the rear wheels have been installed, which continues to the rear as an apron and a diffuser. Also installed were new fenders with an enhanced appearance combining air vents for the front wheels. A spoiler for the rear decklid enhances the sweeping look of the vehicle. The entire look is finished with a set of 21-inch Agetro W150 wheels shod with ultra-low profile tires. This first-gen CLS is still definitely a looker, even with its 2nd generation replacement on the horizon.

New CLS 63 AMG Commercial to Premiere in January

As it nears its release in January 2011, the new Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG is set for a big splash in terms of advertising, and the latest exposure of the upcoming executive sedan will be in a commercial set to premiere sometime around the end of January.

In the commercial, the CLS 63 AMG was let loose out on the hot desert dunes of Las Vegas, Nevada. You’ll also be able to see Robert Baker, the brand ambassador for AMG and founder of Logical Golf, sitting right where most of us probably want to be: behind the wheel of the CLS 63 AMG.

The late January premiere of the CLS 63 AMG’s commercial will coincide with Mercedes-Benz’ 125th year celebration of the motor car—one and one-quarter centuries since Carl Benz filed a patent for a “vehicle with a gas engine drive.”

Below, you’ll find some shots behind the scenes of the commercial’s shoot. Those are some pretty nifty camera setups near the rear of the car. Based on these, we’ll be seeing some close-ups and stunning aerial shots of the car. We’ll see how Mercedes-Benz makes the commercial for the CLS 63 AMG stand out from among the rest of the car commercials.
