The Mercedes-Benz Shooting Break concept is powered with a new direct-injection 3.5-L V6 engine system that produces 306HP or 225 kW and up to 370 Nm or 273 ft-lb of torque. The concept car is a sample of the future 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS.  With a lengthy hood, bulbous rear wheel arches, intensely cut styling across the cars side panels, and a swooping roofline, the concept is much enhanced proportioned than the often-criticized 5er GT.

"The Shooting Break concept car is based on the great tradition of a stylish, cultivated sportiness which has always characterised the great Mercedes Coupes, and it takes this unique legacy an exciting step further. At the same time it points the way towards the future design idiom of Mercedes-Benz." said in a report by Prof. Gorden Wagener the Mercedes-Benz top designer.

The features on the concept car include headlights made from 71 LEDs, lamps flank either side of the SLS AMG-styled radiator grille and are set above large air intakes.  The car rides on one-off five-spoke 20-inch silver wheels, which fit in well with the satin finish allanite grey mango paint job.

The interior of the car has contrasting cream and brown leather, though a third leather shade needlessly creates a tri-color scheme.  The use of the cream tone as the dominant color that carries into the headliner works to make the concept feel more spacious and comfortable.  The rear seats are stylish storage units intended to fit items like a laptop or tool kit, with a drawback that they may be hard to achieve.  A flat wooden floor in back will make sliding luggage or golf clubs in and out of the car a bit easier.
