If you’ve been waiting for Mercedes’ answer to the BMW range of coupes (namely, the 3-Series and 1-Series coupes), it’s finally coming, as new spy photos have emerged today showing what’s unquestionably a C-Class coupe. Reportedly designed to coincide with the upcoming mid-life refresh of the C-Class sedan, the C-Class coupe will closely resemble its four door counterpart, as both the front and rear will share the same design traits. Changes to the 2011 C-Class (compared to the current C-Class) will include revised front and rear bumpers, a tweaked bonnet, new headlights and a heightened grille.
In terms of size, the C-Class sedan and coupe should share the same dimensions, save for the altered roof line. Under the hood, power plants should again mimic the sedan, meaning a range of fuel efficient four and six cylinder options. As for a C63 AMG Coupe, Mercedes has stated that at present there’s no plans for an E63 AMG Coupe. If this is any indication, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a C63 AMG Coupe either, although anything’s possible.
We’ll keep you posted as new details of the 2011 Mercedes C-Class Coupe are revealed; in the meantime, check out the full 2011 C-Class Coupe spy photo gallery below, then head over to Car Advice for the full article.
