2008 Mercedes Coupe Editions
The Mercedes-Benz Coupé family is more youthful, more attractive and more innovate than ever before with the new CLC Sports Coupé, the new-generation CLS-Class and the 4MATIC version of the CL. The CLC is the new youngster in the Mercedes range, the compelling entry-level model in the Mercedes-Benz Coupé family. Engineering highlights of the CLC include a new direct-steer system for even more agile cornering, state-of-the-art infotainment systems featuring Europe-wide DVD or hard-disc navigation, as well as an uprated four-cylinder engine that now develops 135 kW/ 184 hp. Fuel consumption has been reduced by up to 10.8 percent compared with the outgoing model. The four-door CLS Coupé looks even more stylish than before thanks to its understated yet effective styling modifications. The Mercedes-Benz engine line-up is joined by the 2.8-litre V6 engine developing 170 kW/213 hp, which consumes just 9.8 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC). The Mercedes Coupé family is headed by the luxurious CL-Class, which is now also available for the first time with permanent all-wheel drive. The new CL 500 4MATIC thus offers even greater traction and handling stability in the wet, in snow or on ice.

Coupés have always been very special cars. Especially Mercedes coupés - the epitome of elegance and exclusivity in automobile design. In essence, they represent the ultimate in refinement. No other car brand has such a proud coupé tradition and no other car brand offers such a compelling and versatile coupé family as Mercedes-Benz.

The CLC is the new "youngster" in the Mercedes Coupé family. It shares some of the family's unmistakable features, yet retains its very own personality with its powerful proportions and striking rear end, which sets the tone with its youthful vitality and self-assured appearance.

The Mercedes designers have completely redesigned the front and rear so that the Sports Coupé embodies the contemporary Mercedes design idiom with its distinctive coupé radiator grille featuring a large Mercedes star in the centre, and the new projection-beam headlamps. The S-Class, the luxury CL-Class Coupé and the C-Class provided the stylistic models. The redesigned large tailgate conceals a variable boot with up to 1100 litres of luggage capacity.

The interior of the CLC is akin to a contemporary tailor-made suit - custom-fit and comfortable. Sports seats with better lateral support than ever, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel, automatic climate control and brushed aluminium trim elements form part of the standard specification. A choice of seat covers in black, alpaca grey and a particularly stylish combination of black and red are available to give the interior its individual colour scheme.
