Mercedes-Benz will reportedly show off a new concept car at next month’s 2010 Detroit Auto Show that will preview the automaker’s future design language.
The information comes directly from the automaker’s new design chief, Gordon Wagener, who is keen to raise the design credentials of cars wearing the Three Pointed Star.
"We want to elevate our design towards art and if any company can do it Mercedes can," he revealed to Autocar. Wagener wasn’t willing to give any specific details but he explained that it would be a "pure design concept which is long and exaggerated."
Importantly, it won’t hint at any particular production model although there’s rumors that it will resemble the 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS, which you can see in recent spy shots by clicking here.
The last time we saw such a daring concept car from Mercedes-Benz was back in 2007 when the automaker unveiled the F700 pictured above. While that concept mostly previewed the automaker’s future technology, it too was a preview of what Mercedes-Benz had in store for its upcoming production cars.
