The first photos of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe have made their way onto the web.

The front of the new Mercedes C-Class matches that of the facelifted C-Class Sedan and Estate. Unique to the Coupe is that nearly everything is aft of the A-pillar. We prefer the pillarless design of other Mercedes-Benz Coupes and so we are slightly disappointed to see a B-pillar.

Likely to be carried over from the C-Class Sedan will be the engine options however we expect the coupe to eventually be offered as a Black Series with a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 with up to 571 PS (420 kW / 563 bhp) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque.

Thanks to Gregor and Autobilde.de for the tip.
