Mercedes-Benz wants to fill the garages of new luxury car shoppers with its 2015 C-Class. Clearly, it also wants to fill holes in the automobile market, such as the crossover “coupe” segment.
Mercedes has found a gap to fill between the 333-horsepower C400 and the 450+/- horsepower C63. The undisguised C450 Sport AMG we spotted, and its 367-horsepower twin-turbo 3.0L V6 should fit within the wheel wells nicely.
Photographically speaking, these are 21 apple pies with about a metric ton of brown sugar on top of each one. The owner and photographer, Ronnie Renaldi, certainly knows how to make his E55 and SL55 AMG the apples of your eyes. Okay, okay, even on a Mercedes forum I think it’s safe to say he does just as good of a job for his Ferrari F430.
That didn’t take long. It was only April when we spotted a development mule version of the Mercedes-Benz MLC/ML Coupe. The crew at AMG quickly got its wrench-turning hands on it and created what you see in the spy shots: the MLC63/ML63 AMG Coupe.
Now that Mercedes-Benz’s entry-level positions for various markets are established by the A-Class, B-Class, or, as in the U.S., by the CLA four-door coupe, the new C-Class chassis (W205) will be positioned as a more premium family of cars including a cabriolet model.
Somehow Weistec Engineering has figured out a way to fire bullets without using guns. You can see an example of that when you watch the Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series blast down the quarter-mile, through your heart, and into the record books after the jump.
If last week’s photos of the week were about pure badassery and brute force, then this week’s turns them on their head. This set of shots includes a very elegant, peaceful, almost serene looking E-Class Coupe belonging to member “Car_Guy” … outside of the forums, he’s called Tad Orlowski.
