The C-Class Coupe will be developed and produced at the Bremen plant, on the same assembly line as three existing models.

Mercedes stopped short of releasing specifics on the C-Class Coupe, stopping simply at confirming a 2011 introduction and the whereabouts of its origin. The current C-Class offering price from $33,600 in the U.S., and start with a base 3.0-liter 228 horsepower V6 with a rear-wheel drive platform. The C-Class also offers a 268 horsepower 3.5-liter V6, but commands a $6,000 premium for its 40 horsepower improvement.

We expect the same aforementioned drivetrains to be offered on the C-Class Coupe at its introduction, with a future AMG model like that of the existing C63 AMG Sedan – starting at $57,350 and powered by a 451 horsepower 6.3-liter V8 – a possibility. Although an AMG variant is almost certainly in the cards for the C-Class Coupe, everybody anticipates a switch to a smaller 5.5-liter V8, coupled with twin-turbochargers as Mercedes moves towards smaller, more fuel efficient engines.

Mercedes’ Bremen plant, where the C-Class Coupe will be produced in 2011, is a massive facility that operates a flexible assembly line, which currently produces the C-Class Saloon, C-Class Estate and GLK. Starting with the 2011, Mercedes will add the C-Class Coupe to the same assembly line.

“The decision by the Board of Management to produce the Coupé version of the current C-Class here in Bremen as well represents another important milestone on our way to becoming Mercedes’ competence centre for the C-Class and is a clear sign of the trust in the Bremen team’s capabilities and standards,” says Peter Schabert, head of Mercedes-Benz’ Bremen plant.

Mercedes-Benz has just unveiled the first images and video of the new Mercedes-Benz CLS, which will be presented at the Paris Salon in early October. We can expect more engine details to be revealed once the 2012 CLS-Class debuts at the Paris motor show which runs October 2 – 17, 2010.

The new and improved Mercedes CLS brings a more full-bodied design, with an emphasis on the front end, with its (Audi inspired) headlight assembly composed of LEDs, and exclusive interior refinement. After the preview in the French capital, the news must reach the European market in the second half. According to Mercedes, even with the reformulation, the model did not miss the essence deployed since its creation in 2004.

The four-door coupe was much like the concept shown in sculpture form earlier this year at the Detroit Motor Show.The engine family shall be composed of two diesel engines, a 250 CDI with 201 horsepower and a 350 CDI with 261 hp. There will also be two gasoline options, a 3.5-liter V6 with 301 hp and another 4.7 liter V8 of 429 hp, which will be the AMG option. New technology on the CLS-Class includes the (Audi inspired) LED headlamps, which feature a total of 71 individual lights.

The car lights are split into three sections, with the upper set forming the turn indicator, the middle serving as a low beam side light which also works when the high beams are on. There are the headlights themselves which do the night lighting.

CLS’s competitors are: Aston Martin Rapide, the Porsche Panamera, Audi A7 and the Volkswagen CC.
