Additionally, the Carrera 2 outputs lower CO2 emission, and now thanks to the synergy with the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 tyres, the CO2 ratings get even lower. This is due to the technology driven by reduced tyre weight and a new ‘high surface’ silica grade that contributes to reduced heat generation (lowering the rolling resistance).

Subtle And Clean Cut | Mercedes-Benz CLS 350

IN CLS, Mercedes-Benz, Mercedec-Benz CLS 350, CLS 350, Brabus, DPE

The new generation CLS by Mercedes-Benz is rare; finding a kitted one - like this fine example here - is just like finding a needle in a haystack
