The name of the CLS Shooting Brake was inspired in an aristocratic tradition. "Shooting Brake" was the name given to horse-drawn carriages used for hunting excursions. These carriages were also used to curb untamed horses’ urge to move. In the 1960s motorised shooting brakes developed from these: unique vehicle specimens for wealthy landowners, combining a sporty design with generous spaciousness. Mercedes-Benz now adds this vehicle concept in a unique manner to its product portfolio."
