Wouldn't be the production model in the U.S. patent in this drawing of the rear profile and here? I know usually the German patents have an actual photo of the model and not drawings, but this is simply what I found.

Never mind, looks like it's Beijing Auto Show Concept from two years ago.

If it's a repost, I really don't care. Live with it. You're not going to die by looking at pictures.

The AMG induced version of the upcoming Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake has made an appearance in public for the first time and luckily our spies were there to catch it. The opportune moment was seized upon when the cover was temporarily removed from the prototype.
The AMG exterior is easily distinguishable from its standard sibling by the quad exhaust poking out the rear end while the front end has new engine hood and repositioned fog lights. The single chrome bar is also slightly inverted to give it a pointier and altogether sportier appeal.
Power is set to be generated from AMG's 5.5-liter biturbo V8 engine that produces 518 hp (386kW / 525hp) and 700Nm (516lb-ft) of torque. It will be capable of accelerating from 0-100kph (0-62mph) in around 4.5 seconds while the top speed will be electronically limited to 250kph (155mph).
Look for the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG Shooting Brake to be unveiled some time during 2013 following the introduction of the standard version later this year.

While I think the entire idea of this car is impractical and silly, I think it is a brilliantly planned move. Here's why: Wagons in America have a not so great, "Family Vacation" reputation that needs to be shaken and since these sorts of things trickle down from the top, the shooting brake as well as the A7 to some extent are going to set trends for some time to come. At least, I hope they do.

Martin cares because he specifically told you about a month ago to STOP reposting pictures. Nice attitude.

As it happens these pics are new.
