As initially reported, Mercedes-Benz will reveal its replacement for the aging CLK coupe at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show. Called the E-Class Coup�, the new two-door has a distinctly sportier overall aesthetic than the sedan it's based on and the model it replaces.
The front face is virtually identical to that of the sedan, but the rhomboid-shaped headlamps have more incisive contours for a more dynamic look. The rakish profile, meanwhile, is reminiscent of the larger CL coup�'s, with a plunging beltline, shallow DLO (devoid of a B-pillar) and steeply raked backlight. The German automaker claims this shape enables a 0.24Cd, making it the world's most aerodynamically efficient series-production car.
Inside, Mercedes has enhanced the leather-trimmed seats of the E-Class to reflect the sporty nature of the new two-door. With high seat backrests and an 'easy-entry' function to facilitate ingress and egress, the new coup� can also be specified as a four-passenger vehicle, with a pair of individual seats available as an option at the rear.
