(from Art Tuning Press Release)

    The super sports car from ART on the basis of a Mercedes CLS55/63 AMG will be available in April 2006. He covers all wishes concerning a hotblooded sports car of formidable performance and subtle, elegant design in coupé manner.  Unique stars that leave nothing to be desired.

    The developers from ART in Nuremberg, Germany succeeded in launching the GTR into the segment of top-class sports cars. Comprehensive, tightly focussed upgrades transformed the basis CLS55/63 AMG into a meaty sports tool with brilliant performance.
