About the Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake X218 Obsidian Black Metallic Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake X218 reproduces the coupe-roofed estate in Obsidian Black Metallic, with opening doors, bonnet and tailgate on a zinc alloy body. Mercedes paired CLS styling with load-carrying practicality for a limited production run. A distinctive diecast for a shelf that wants a proper estate silhouette.

Mercedes rarely builds a bodystyle this niche twice, which is exactly why the CLS Shooting Brake stands out on a shelf. Norev's 1:18 diecast catches the X218 in Obsidian Black, an estate that borrowed a coupe's roofline and kept the boot space that name implies.

The X218 Shooting Brake as a CLS Variant

Where the standard C218 sold as a four-door coupe, Mercedes built the X218 alongside it as a shooting brake, stretching the same swept roofline back over a proper load area rather than a conventional saloon boot. The term itself borrows from an older tradition of two-door hunting estates, repurposed here for a five-door car that keeps the coupe's rake through the rear glass. It gave Mercedes a genuinely distinctive answer to the practicality question a four-door coupe usually can't answer, without resorting to the boxy proportions of a conventional estate. Few rivals attempted anything as visually committed, which makes the X218 a shape collectors recognise instantly even decades later.

Zinc Alloy Build and Opening Panels on an Estate

This casting carries real weight in the hand, the signature of its zinc alloy construction, and diecast at this scale is built to survive years on a shelf rather than to be handled with great care. The doors, bonnet and tailgate all open, and on an estate that tailgate matters more than it would on a saloon: lifting it shows off the load bay the shooting brake body exists to provide. Diecast tolerances run a touch wider than a sealed resin body could hold, so the panel gaps sit a shade broader around the hinges, a fair trade for genuine access to the car's defining feature.

Obsidian Black Metallic Over the Coupe-Estate Roofline

Dark colours are unforgiving on a body this sculpted, because any flat spot in the casting shows immediately under direct light rather than hiding in a lighter shade. Here the metal shell holds an even, deep gloss across the swept roof and the long rear glass, and the metallic flake catches under a directed lamp without breaking up the line that runs from windscreen to tailgate. At around 25 centimetres in 1:18, the estate reads longer than the standard coupe thanks to that stretched roofline, and it needs a touch more shelf depth to display comfortably.

A Genuinely Uncommon Shape for a Mercedes Display

Shooting brakes rarely reach mass production, and Mercedes' willingness to build one on the CLS platform makes this variant a genuine talking point next to a standard C218 coupe on the same shelf. It sits at a similar mid-premium diecast price to its coupe sibling, so the decision to add it comes down to wanting the rarer bodystyle rather than paying extra for it. For a collector chasing unusual estate shapes, this is one of the more interesting Mercedes answers to the brief.
