M3 Coupes have pretty nice V8s...

We should get a pretty nice V8 too, if were nice to MB this year, maybe Santa (who if you've been watch TV lately, is working at the Alabama MB plant, and drives a red SL63) will give it a 5.5TT...

It would look much better if they window pillarless.

GBlansten

I agree with that. It would be a great look.

Callmiro is the official AMG intel spy for the forum. Nice find and thanks for posting...

I hate it. Looks chopped and squished together.

Hans Delbruck

How fast is it?

avengerboater

I actually think it doesn't look that bad. Can't wait to see what engine goes into it. Good find!

I think because the rear window is taped up it seems like the rear is elongated and makes the car look a bit disproportionate. I agree, once the tape comes off it might get some of its flare back but again I don't think its going to have the umph of the sedan. Still would prefer to get a E63 coupe over this thing, but to each is there own.

AMGC60-3

I like it as well, the final product will look great.

MikeS54

doesnt look bad to me esepcially the C63 coupe

559EVO

Side view looks like a mustang, I do like it and I hope they managed to shave 100 pounds also.

The e coupe looked awful in spy pics, and it looks great now, especially with the amg sport package, and there's not even a full out amg version of the car


im sure you'll all love this beast when its official pics come out, aswell as the black series

Compare the coupe to pics of a sedan and it's obvious. The rear wheel well is too small in relation to the hight of the rear fenders so it looks bloated in back and throws off the proportions. That's why it looks like a Honda. Same problem as the CTS Coupe but not as ridiculously bad. Any car designer will tell you that this ratio is what makes cars look hot (or not), that's why they always put giant wheels and tires on concept cars.

GBlansten

I think you make a good point. It's all about balanced proportions. The CTS coupe does have an oddly small wheel well and it hurts the cars look.

Close resemblance... Especially the window trim.

Frank Rizzo

No joke, I saw the C coupe driving the opposite way on Pacific Coast Hwy today around noon...
White with black tape all over it and Michigan plates.

Looked decent at a distance.

Took me by surprise.

nickia

I agree.

KCviper

Not a big fan of sedans to coupe as many others have stated. Will wait to see it in person......

JonMBZ

W203 coupe was atrocious lets see how this pans out.

x838nwy

Very good point there. I feel it's that ratio and what seems to be a silly amount of rear over-hang that just kills the rear wheel well.

And what's going on with making the car look so raked? There's a crease that seems to start from the centre of the front wheel and points at the rear spoiler. Is that just the camo?

Fwiw, imho the e-coupe should have its rear wheels moved back by about 3-4 inches. Failing that, I think the Brabus is the way to go.

SGTzAMG

too soon to judge now, but well see see how it it looks completely once the camo is removed

Chako

I think this design has potential as well.
With this coupe being released relatively late in the W204 lifecycle though; will it be outlasting the sedan production.. Possibly into the next generation?

I would possibly be interested in getting one. But I'm a bit hazy on whether it would be marketed as a W204, the next generation, or something in between?

Anyway, I'm a fan of this generation's C-Class for sure, just am interested in how long Mercedes plans to build the coupe version!

austinholloman

Yes! Because they both have two doors and- wait... Nm.
