Illustration: Autobild's Larson digitally imagines the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W 205)

By | Published Monday, 28 May 2012

Larson, the famous designer collaborating with Germany's Autobild magazine, is known worldwide for providing the most accurate computer rendering for future cars, at least in what Mercedes-Benz' forthcoming models are concerned. The latest CGI offers an insight into the exterior design of the next generation C-Class (205 series), bound to arrive during spring 2014.

The current styling language of the Stuttgart house will evolve in a remarkable way with the advent of the new C-Class lineup of mid-size premium vehicles. The inspirational image from above shows the W 205 will boast spectacular proportions and a confident stance, moving away from the current, toned-down wedge shape. Instead, the new Star in the Mercedes-Benz garage will feature a dynamic design, described by an imposing front end sporting an upright grille and a set of angry-looking headlights with LED technology creating intricate inner graphics.

The attributes defining the sides of the 2014 C-Class are "muscular, yet impressively clean and elegant". Gone are the fussy creases - we should now get a proper Benz with an evident, strong shoulder line making the most of the profile. The car will also receive new door handles and a pair of new, aerodynamically-adapted, blinker-equipped exterior mirrors, that reduce the drag coefficient (Cd) and improve the rear view thanks to the greater reflective surface.

In the absence of a rendition showcasing the back end of the C-Class, we can only speculate the final result will indeed help finish the entire design in a round and cohesive way. Expect some astonishing lamps with a cool effect courtesy of LEDs.

Now, please take your time to surf through the newest spy shots of the C-Class captured in Germany. Enjoy!

PREVIEW: New computer illustration sheds light on future Mercedes-Benz CLC (C 117)

By | Published Sunday, 12 February 2012

New Mercedes-Benz CLC compact 4-door coupe comes in spring 2013 as part of the German constructor's model offensive started with new B-Class people-carrier and the soon-to-be-released A-Class hatchback. The new CLC-Class will be underpinned by Merc's new modular front-driven platform, the MFA, and will make use of company's latest low-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. As the Stuttgart-based carmaker has gathered precious knowledge with two generations of 4-door coupes, the CLS is expected to influence the general styling of its little brother. However, the design philosophy to be applied to the CLC is 180-degree different: the Ponton-like crease on the rear wing will be gone forever and the side profile will be cleaner and more elegant, just like the first generation CLS (C 219). The accent will be put on creating a more balanced, progressive look, strictly defined by an array of unique, intricately sketched exterior details, that help create a distinctive aura for the new CLC. Level of accuracy for this rendition: we say over 60 percent.
