Citing the current economic client Dr. Dieter Z, CEO of Mercedes-Benz, said that the upcoming vehicles from Mercedes are "anti-depressants on wheels".
The stunning new E-Class Coupe is just one of these vehicles.
This new vehicle does away with the B-pillar and also features frameless windows. Incredibly, this new design is the most aerodynamic shape of any production vehicle with a coefficient of drag of just 0.24.
Mercedes intends to make the E-Class Coupe efficient in many other ways with steering and fuel pumps that only operate when necessary and an alternator that varies depending upon the driving situation and the on-board voltage. Mercedes has also equipped the E-Class Coupe with low rolling resistance tires.
Offered in The U.S. in June, the vehicle will be available as both an E350 and E550 - however five different engines will be offered in Europe. The E350 will make use of Mercedes' V6 engine with 268hp and 258 ft-lbs of torque and the E550 will use the V8 engine which boasts 382hp and 391 ft-lbs of torque. Two four-cylinder engines will also be available in Europe.
Much like its sedan counterpart the E-Class Coupe will feature plenty of state-of-the-art performance and safety equipment, including Agility Control adaptive shock absorbers and Attention Assist drowsiness detection. High beam assist, which adjusts the vehicle's headlights based on the distance to a vehicle ahead or one in the oncoming lane, is also standard.
In Europe the E-Class Coupe will also come equipped with an Active Hood that will raise two inches during an impact to reduce injury to a pedestrian.
Standard equipment includes a leather interior with sport seats, a Panorama Sunroof, Mercedes's Command System and automatic dual-zone climate control.
