The covers may have only just come off the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and the world is already eagerly awaiting the arrival of the cabriolet version.
Like the C-Class Cabriolet and S-Class Cabriolet before it, the new E-Class droptop will be based around the coupe and for the most part, by absolutely identical, excluding the roof of course.
It may not be hard to visualize in your head how the model will look but Theophilus Chin has done the work for you, expertly rendering the model in a stunning shade of red.
The launch of the E-Class Cabriolet will give the Stuttgart-based firm a further advantage on its BMW 5-Series and Audi A6 rivals which aren’t offered in coupe or convertible configurations.
Beneath the skin, it should arrive with all the same engine configurations as the hardtop alternative.
This means that in Europe, it will be offered with a 191 hp 2.0-liter inline-four diesel, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol delivering 181 hp and 242 hp in E200 and E300 guises as well as the E400 4Matic with a 328 hp twin-turbo V6 petrol. After the E-Class Cabriolet hits the market, E50 AMG and E63 AMG badged models can be expected.
