GTspirit has learnt that the eagerly anticipated Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe will celebrate its world debut at the IAA Frankfurt Motor Show 2015 in September.
Mercedes-Benz’s new two-door compact will have slightly sportier proportions compared to its four-door counterpart, with a wider track and slightly lower stance. Spy shots have shown that the rear of the car will look almost identical to the S-Class Coupe, while the front end will be more akin to the C-Class sedan.
Not long after the C-Class Coupe launches, a cabriolet variant will reach the market. Consequently, the C-Class range will be available with four different body styles, the most ever. Unsurprisingly, the C-Class Coupe is tipped to receive identical powertrains to both the existing sedan and estate variations.
This will include the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, two four-cylinder diesels, 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, and the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 for AMG models. Those AMG models are expected to be the ‘standard’ C63 AMG Coupe and C63 AMG S Coupe.
Recently discussing the design of the car, the German firm’s design chief Gorden Wagener revealed that the car will be even sleeker than the S-Class Coupe.
