Based on the Mercedes-Benz CLS 55/63 AMG, the sports car from ART covers all wishes concerning a hot-blooded sports car with formidable performance and subtle, elegant design. The developers from ART in Nuremberg, Germany succeeded in launching the GTR into the segment of top-class sports cars. Comprehensive, tightly focused upgrades transformed the basis CLS 55/63 AMG into a sports tool with brilliant performance. At the same time its appearance displays an air of diplomatic elegance, without drifting into the harsh design lines of its class competitors.
A shift into a higher level for the 4-door CLS coupe from Mercedes-Benz concerning performance, exterior and interior. During the �Middle East Motor Show� Dubai in December 2005 the refined sports vehicle had its first introduction to the public. Next official introduction step will be the �Special Import Car Show� at Tokyo in April 2006. Customers in Europe are able to order it from April 2006 onwards with the following technical details and equipment options:
