Prior to the opening of the Detroit Motor Show, an event was celebrated by Mercedes-Benz as it escorted the 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class for its debut in the North American market, according to a gtspirit.com report. The event also served as a preview of the latest product offering of the luxury vehicle manufacturer from Germany.

The event was marked by a mini-concert featuring Kelly Rowland. The private concert was a fitting end to the 2014 Mercedes-Benz Road Trip. Images of the event showing the private concert and the introduction of the C-Class into North America were released recently.
