The new coupe from Mercedes. You gonna like it!
At the Motor Show in Geneva Mercedes-Benz showed its new coupe. Two-car has replaced the old CLK, however, this model not only looks cooler CLK, but also has another name - E Coupe. And this fact is remarkable. All the recent years, Mercedes-Benz tried to think of as many models with different names. And all were convinced that the new car, which was on step above the old CLK, called ELK. And a simple and understandable - a compartment on the base E-Class.
Although actually understand what the platform is built E Coupe is almost impossible. Indeed, much taken with large modifications of the C-class, and many of the larger E-Class. If you look at the dimensions of the situation as follows. E Coupe for more than 115 mm C-Class sedan, but it is 172 mm shorter than the E-class.
Pro design will not speak long. I will only say that «mug» cars is very similar to the E-Class, which is understandable (except for what all these games with the title). But the car looks much more interesting «eshki». This is especially clear when you see cars «live», rather than in the photos.
When you create a cabin designers Mercedes-Benz, as usual, were conservative. Fans will be pleased with brands. And not only the existence of one podrulevogo switch, which is excessively overloaded functions (strange, but all the studies the company Mercedes-Benz shows that buyers «Mercy» do not want to abandon it). Coupé will get a lot of e «наворотов». There will be an active cruise control and night-vision system.
And that we will have under the hood … The most modest coupe will get 4-cylinder unit volume of the entire 1.8 liters. Funny? It is only at first glance, because thanks to turbocharging and direct injection, it will give very decent 204 hp (the car will be called E Coupe 250 CGI). The same 204 «ponies» receive and diesel version - where the volume of the engine will be 2.1 liters (E Coupe 250 CDI). Moreover, diesel version of 204-strong E Coupe in Germany will cost is the same as gasoline - 44 684 euros. But a diesel engine not only has more torque (500 Nm to 310 Nm), but very modest fuel consumption. 2.1-liter diesel engine spends every 100 km in combined cycle just 5.3 liters, and the gasoline engine has 7.2 liters.
At step higher in the hierarchy are engines V6. Petrol volume 3,5 l gives 292 hp, a 3.0-liter diesel engine 231 hp Will and the volume of 5,5 liter V8 (388 hp). Such a car would have cost 66 045 euros.
Fans of fast Mercedes-Benz awaited version of AMG, however, it does not exist. It can be assumed that the car will get 6.3-liter V8 power of 525 hp
