Mercedes-Benz->ke187 has long said that a C-Class->ke1593 coupe was coming, and now TopSpeed has seen it on the road. The car will be made at the Breman plant on the same assembly line as the three other variants.
Under the hood will likely be the same motors as you currently find in the sedan. A 3.0-liter 229 horsepower V6 with rear-wheel drive is the standard model, while a 3.5-liter 268 horsepower V6 is offered.
We expect an AMG version to arrive sometime after the coupe goes on sale. The AMG C-Class coupe could be powered by the new 5.5-liter V8 or a 6.3-liter V8 from the C63 AMG sedan. We have no official word on which will be used.
The new C-Class will be put up against the BMW 3-Series coupe->ke290 and the Infiniti G37 Coupe->ke2402. Both are sensational vehicles, so the Merc has a lot to live up too.
