Mercedes-Benz CLS

The four-door coupe silhouette of the first CLS ushered in a new era of car design. And while it drove sleeker, more rakish shapes into the norm, the CLS remains out of the ordinary. Its design and engineering collaborate to offer a range of delights to its driver and four passengers —all while it draws admiring eyes wherever it goes. To be a Mercedes-Benz, the CLS must be more than a work of art.

The way its sharknose grille, twin-power-dome hood, and tense arch of a roofline come together, it’s understandable if you’re won over purely by the design of the third-generation CLS. The four-door coupe profile it pioneered has inspired an entire industry. But just as compelling are the innovations that await you beneath its alluring sheet metal: Advanced luxuries.

The original CLS opened a new era in the rich tradition of Mercedes-Benz coupes. For the first time, the seductively sleek styling and richly refined cabin were united with the convenience of four doors. It turned the tide of car design, as countless sedans emulated its sweeping shape.

The CLS cabin is an experience that’s at once singular and shared. The flowing sculpture of its dash, doors and console envelops you in visible artfulness and tangible craftsmanship.

Concealed amid the fine woods and supple leather are technologies to help you feel both relaxed and refreshed. LED ambient lighting offers 64 selectable colors. Options include front-seat “hot stone” massage and ENERGIZING Comfort, which creates multisensory environments with lighting, seat comfort, climate, subtle aroma and music.

Audi A8

The all-new Audi A8 has arrived. In the tradition of its predecessors, Audi A8 is both a design leader and a technological marvel. A vision, that’s come to life.

The Singleframe® grille on the Audi A8 has evolved with each generation. On the new A8, the grille is both wider and lower to emphasize its sportier stance. From profile, its face is more upright. From another angle, a third dimension appears as the outer sections appear to fold inward.

The headlights on the Audi A8 reveal a character who looks optimistically at the road ahead. The shape of the headlights exudes a focused demeanor. Full LEDs produce a light spectrum much like the mid-day sun. Extending across the lower section of the trunk lid and serving as a visual bridge between the dynamic taillights, the light bar highlights the increased width and sporting stance of the Audi A8.

The interior of the Audi A8 features an expanse crafted natural wood inlays, the luster of high-gloss Black surfaces and active climate control shutters that automatically fold into the dashboard. Within the interior’s modernist lines is not just the rewarding touch of premium leather or the texture of natural wood inlays, but a host of features designed to elevate the luxury experience.

The 3.0-liter TFSI® V6 engine was engineered to deliver powerful throttle response in a smooth, refi ned manner. A twin-scroll turbocharger design and revised Audi valvelift system help provide up to 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque through a wide engine rpm range.

Instead of traditional coil springs, the Audi adaptive air suspension uses airbags to help control wheel movements. Ride quality can be selected through the Audi drive select system, off ering Comfort and Dynamic settings to suit road conditions and driving preference. The available dynamic all-wheel steering system features an electromechanical steering system on the front and rear axles. The system is designed to enhance both stability during lane changes and maneuverability by decreasing the vehicle’s turning radius.
