Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe

Ahead of its March motor show debut images of the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe have today been officially released

These images show for the first time what many are calling Mercedes' most credible (BMW) 3 Series Coupe competitor yet.

The stylish two-door sporting many of the same charismatic lines and androgynous proportions that have seen the C-Class Sedan and C-Class Estate become such a strong sellers. Indeed the forward end of the car is identical to its four-door siblings with the bodywork aft of the windscreen completely reworked.

Set to make its international debut at next month's Geneva Motor Show the C-Class Coupe will share many of the same powertrain choices offered in Sedan including efficient CGI and CDI examples.

A hotter version is also on the cards with C-Class AMG Coupe to be powered by Merc's fire breathing 6.3-litre V8 developing 336kW/600Nm (by comparison, the current class champion M3 Coupe develops 309kW/400Nm). We anticipate the AMG-enhanced coupe will accelerate from 0-100km/h in than 4.5 seconds.
