Images of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class leaked on the internet

Being a loyal Mercedes-Benz fan, I was eagerly awaiting for the debut of the successor of the CLS-Class. My wait has been cut short by the recent images of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS Class which have been leaked on the internet. One look at the images of the four door coupe, and I was left mesmerized. As the pictures suggest, the new CLS has retained its predecessor’s unique profile, but is updated with design cues from the Shooting Break concept. The engines are expected to range from a new 3.5-liter direct-injection V6 all the way up to the 5.5-liter, twin-turbo V8 AMG model. Sure to be the ride of the future, this luxe coupe is truly a class apart.

Expect more updates on this beauty as and when Mercedes-Benz unveils this car officially.

1:10 scale Remote Control version of the Lamborghini Reventón unveiled

Most Lamborghini fans have to make do with small scale models of their favorite Lambo’s since they can’t afford the price of the full scale Lamborghini’s.

An officially licensed RC version of the Lamborghini Reventón has been unveiled. Built by De Agostini, the 1:10 model is an affordable option for those who couldn’t buy the $1.25 million Lamborghini Reventón.

Limited to 65 units only, this remote controlled car is definitely a must have for collectors.

The pricing information hasn’t been revealed yet, but we can assure you it’s going to be a lot cheaper than owning the full scale model.
