About the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake X218 Obsidian Black Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast reproduces the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake, the X218-generation estate that paired four-door coupe styling with wagon practicality. Finished in Obsidian Black, this officially licensed diecast suits collectors building a modern Mercedes estate lineup.
Estate cars rarely get to look this deliberately stylish, and the CLS Shooting Brake made a genuine case that a wagon could carry the same visual drama as its four-door coupe sibling.
The X218 Shooting Brake's Coupe-Wagon Fusion
Mercedes built the CLS Shooting Brake to extend the four-door coupe's sweeping roofline and frameless doors into a genuinely practical cargo-carrying body, a combination few manufacturers attempt because it demands compromise on both ends of the equation. The X218 generation succeeded largely because Mercedes refused to blunt the CLS's dramatic proportions in service of cargo volume, instead stretching the coupe's silhouette rearward while keeping the low, tapered roofline intact. That commitment to styling over pure practicality is exactly what separates a genuine Shooting Brake from an ordinary estate car, and it's a niche body style within Mercedes' modern lineup that rewards specific attention from a collector's shelf.
Norev's Licensed Diecast Approach to Mercedes Estates
Norev produces a wide range of officially licensed Mercedes-Benz diecast, and this Shooting Brake benefits from that direct manufacturer relationship in its accurate badging and trim detailing. The Obsidian Black finish shows genuine depth under direct light across the car's long, sweeping roofline, and doors open on functional hinges revealing an interior detailed to a standard consistent with Norev's mid-tier diecast segment. Panel fit around the frameless door design stays impressively tight for the price point, a detail that matters specifically because the CLS's doors are one of its more distinctive styling elements. For a collector building a shelf of unconventional body styles within Mercedes' modern range, this Shooting Brake represents a genuinely uncommon and well-executed choice.
