Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabrio spy pics

October 9, 2009 by Matt Brogan  




Here’s prove Mercedes is hard working on the next generation E-Class Cabrio (so far called CLK) – and of the fact that the coupé’s beautiful sister will get a retractable hardtop.

Clearly visible is the joint between the windshield frame and the front edge of the roof. The wider disguise of the c-post and the longer boot lid are other details that give away the secret of this prototype.

Yet bigger and yet a bit more elegant than the outgoing model, the new CLK successors will be based on the C-class saloon. It goes without saying, however, that refinement will be done to the chassis to meet expectations of the somewhat more ambitious coupé- and cabrio-drivers.

Engines will come from the C-class line-up and will include a V8 for a E 500. We expect the coupé to arrive at the dealers in summer 2009 with the convertible following just a few months later.

  1. I love Mercedes, whether it is old or new, actually they never grow old for me. I have a 1974 Mercedes Benz w115 and is still my best friend on the road.

    I personally find each new mercedes model coming out to be as ugly as a bucket full of smashed crabs, and this is no exception.

    Sideways, with just a little bit spilling out.

    I don’t think it’s ugly, I think it’s quite handsome actually, but is handsome really enough considering what other brands are giving us? Is suppose at least it has a canvas roof, but I’d rather a 3.0 TDI A5 Cabriolet.

      Id take the Audi anyday over this jamble of E and C bits. Would even take a SAAB 9-3 Aero just for the sweet engines and the Swedish quirkyness, only if they reduce the price.

  6. Andrew Juma says:

    Mercedes Benz coupes and convertibles are just so elegant and timeless. The now just superseded CLK is one of my favourite cars of all time. I hope to have it one day, and this one as well.
