The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is no ordinary car, so it gets no ordinary teasers. Instead of a single photo with a couple of artistic graphical strokes to whet appetites for the redesigned 2013 S-Class, we get the Aesthetics S sculpture and notice of a vernissage at the Paris Motor Show.

Called "an artistic glimpse of the design of the luxury saloon of the foreseeable future," the Aesthetics S will be our preview into the look of the defining premium luxury sedan.

The preview will come in the form of the debut of this "relief-like sculpture" alongside light projections as the shape is revealed in three acts "using a modern means of design and implementation." And to make sure everyone there knows their history, the Pink Floyd laser-light show projection event will involve the W189, W108 and W126 S-Classes as well.

Not to be considered a concept-only one-off, Mercedes' head of design said that whatever we see will "put a face to our design philosophy over the coming years."

Looks more like the CL if you ask me, but the initial design is present. Those strong lines on the side have made their appearance in quite a few other cars.mi personally like it.
