Mercedes is going full throttle on replacing aging models by their respective successors, and here is proof that this holds true for the C Sportcoupé as well. 7 Engine options :eek:

These pictures were taken in northern Sweden, and they show the new Sportcoupé for the first time ever!
Although the new C Sportcoupé will mimic the design of the brand-new C-class sedan, the upcoming coupé is actually built around the mechanics of the existing model, which is based on the chassis of the outgoing C class. The basic concept of the car—short coupé with huge tailgate—will remain unchanged, too.
Like with the outgoing model, buyers will have the option between the four-cylinder C180 (156 bhp, compressor), the C200 (184 bhp, compressor), a six-cylinder C230 (204 bhp) or the C350 (272 bhp). New offerings might include a C280 V6 delivering 231 hp and diesel enthusiasts might prefer the C200 CDI (136 bhp) or C220 CDI (170 bhp).
