The Mercedes-Benz CL-Class Vs. The BMW 6-Series Vs. The Maybach Exelero

As automotive enthusiasts, we've all been there before: a new model makes its debut, and the first thing you think is "Wow, I love the new ___________________ (fill in the blank with your attribute of choice)." Maybe it's the wheels; maybe its the lights; maybe its the grill. You probably even wished that same attribute was on another, different model. For a Lithuanian adept at modeling with PU-foam, I have a feeling it's this sentiment that in many ways inspired the model before you. You see, the red, curvaceous model before you is a vehicle you're most likely familiar with - a W215 Mercedes CL-Class - but as you can see, it looks like anything but a CL-Class.
Up front, there's a Maybach Exelero grill, mated to a distinctly BMW 6-Series front end. In the back, there's traces of both Ferrari and Maserati (as well as the BMW 6-Series). And of course, what custom fabrication is complete without roughly 30-inch rims in the back? None, that's how many.
Unfortunately, despite the attractiveness of each of the aforementioned models when viewed independently of one another, together they are slightly less than savory. However, there is something to be said for hard work and imagination - with ample amounts of both undoubtedly going into the production of this vehicle - and because of this, one must give credit where credit is due.
I'll let you form your own opinions of the model, which can you do by both viewing a few photos of it immediately below or heading over to EnglishRussia (where you can find the model's full production gallery). I've also included a video showcasing a BMW 6-Series created by the same individual - one that bears a striking resemblance to its CL counterpart.
