These are actually photoshops using the test mule that was previewed by Autocar...
German car magazine Autobild caused a bit of a stir today with a set of pictures seemingly showing an uncovered 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe next to a Ford Mustang, but unfortunately, they're Photoshops.

It's an obvious Photoshop because the rear brake lights aren't on the rear bumper like we've seen with the mule:

This photo from several weeks ago shows the quarter window molding having an upward curve as the 204 model does. I don't think this has been photo shopped and looks like a 205 c coupe.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Mercedes-Benz will trade practical benefits for more sporty exterior styling on the redesigned C-class coupe due in the U.S. next spring.
Reduced rear seat room and less trunk space are the price Mercedes will pay for a sleeker roofline, vehicle line chief Christian Frueh said during a prototype drive here last week.
Gorden Wagener, Mercedes' chief designer, says he fought hard for the shape of the C-class derivative, which will be unveiled at the Frankfurt auto show in September. The fresh design approach required the rear seats to be pushed forward and the roofline lowered by 1.6 inches compared with the current model.
Frueh's team has seized the opportunity to create a more sporty vehicle. The passengers sit almost an inch lower and the center of gravity has been lowered accordingly. With sharper steering and a retuned suspension, the C-class coupe will out-do its four-door sibling on the track.
The wide-body Mercedes-AMG C63 Coupe version will have unique side panels, giving it a different look from the standard coupe.
The U.S. lineup will include the 241-hp C300 Coupe -- powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine -- which will start at just under $40,000. Two models will use Mercedes' 3.0-liter V-6: the 329-hp C400 Coupe and the 362-hp C450 AMG Coupe. All-wheel drive will be optional.
Mercedes-AMG will offer two top-of-the-line wide-body models: the 469-hp C63 Coupe and the 503-hp C63 S Coupe. The subbrand will launch a fabric-top convertible next year.

I agree. The reflectors are also not on the S Coupe and if you zoom in to the pics you can tell it's not against the body of the paint but more so over the covering. Good catch

- Mercedes-Benz will offer the 362-hp C450 AMG starting at the end of summer 2016, powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6. The big bopper, of course, will be the Mercedes-AMG C63 that arrives concurrently with the C450; that one will be driven by the same twin-turbocharged, 469- or (in S-Model trim) 503-hp 4.0-liter V-8 that powers the AMG GT sports car.
- The passengers sit lower by 0.8 inch, and the suspension has been recalibrated to be sportier.
- One of the better and perhaps most surprising traits of the C-class is its direct and precise steering, and the coupe's, Früh assures us, has been tuned to be even more so.
- Overall, it's a beautiful and sensual shape, albeit one whose character will be transformed in AMG C63 trim: The monster from Affalterbach will have entirely unique front and rear fenders to make room for its fat wheels and tires. Daimler insiders tell us that the changes made for the AMG version are nearly as extensive as those necessary to create a completely different body variation.

End of summer, IMO, is September but given the recent delay with the sedan, it might be more like November. Perhaps they learned from the recent issues but the coupe, like the sedan, is a first year model also. We'll see if they hit that target date.

I'm not even kidding.
Right now, MB/AMG needs to resolve all the issues that are currently taking place with the sedan.
When it's time for me to put my deposit down for the C63S Coupe in a couple years, I do not want to deal with stuck-pano, trim, rattle, etc. issues.

Agree w/issues that I have been reading on this forum also. Hopefully most issues are on the first year 2015 and they worked on correcting for the 2016 models. So by 2017, even with a coupe body change, they should be sorted out for us..

I am not sure whether to discount it as an Alabama production issue, or if it's a global issue?
On a more positive note:
1.) The Coupe's development is coming along nicely, and looks like it'll be absolutely stunning!
2.) I'm lovin' the Coupe's distinctive seats with the integrated headrest.
3.) I truly hope that the C63S Coupe ends up with the S-Class Coupe's fully digital/integrated instrument cluster! I recall there being a Motor Authority article that they're currently working on that......

They need to take their time with this one. Hell, take 2 more years if need be, and release it in 2017.

I definitely hope so. I was aware that first MY cars would have teething issues, but not nearly as many as I've read so far on the C63S sedan.

I can relate to all of this and agree.
Having had a brand new W205 sedan (Sth. African built) on loan for a 3 week period and suffering from numerous rattles, squeaks and other weird noises as well as flimsy interior door panels I hope MB lift their game as production moves forward, I'm waiting to get my hands on a German built W205 C63 to compare differences if any to the Sth. African built W205 sedan mentioned.
Personally I never buy the first of any new model release anyway, the best are always at the tail end of a models life cycle which also usually have the best revised styling updates as well, so looking forward to a nice fully sorted end product C205 C63
