With the order books opening in January 2015, the X117 is one of the most highly-anticipated new models made by the three-pointed star. Revealed back in November, the CLA Shooting Brake is just as beautiful as the CLA, but a helluva lot more practical.
I know this is a purely subjective opinion and beauty (and ugly) is in the eye of the beholder, but this lad here would take the CLA Shooting Brake over the normal CLA ‘cos it looks both outlandish and elegant. The 495 liters (17 cubic feet) to 1,354 liters (47.8 cubic feet) loading bay capacity is just a bonus.

Besides the typical turbo diesel and turbo gasoline engine lineup we know from the CLA, the Shooting Brake can be had in AMG guise as well, and what a cracker of a car it is, boasting with 4Matic all-wheel drive, a slick-shifting automatic transmission, 360 horsepower and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque.

But RevoZport can do a little better than that, like 444 ponies better and not only that

According to the tuning outfit, the RevoZport RZA-450 pack is upgraded to 450 PS (444 horsepower) thanks to add-ons such as a remapped ECU, a new intake system and down pipes, as well as a full titanium exhaust. It doesn’t seem like much, but it will give you 84 horsepower over the basic 45 AMG.

If you want just the RevoZport carbon fiber aerodynamic kit, designed to create higher downforce, that can be had even on the CLA 200 and CLA 250 Shooting Brake. Furthermore, those two Mercs can be hiked to 290 PS (286 horsepower) via the RZA-290 package, which is a basic engine upgrade.
