Special editions are for connoisseurs only
The Coupé and Cabriolet versions of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class has introduced two special-edition models. The Sport Edition V8 Edition comes with exclusive appointments to arouse the desire of customers.
For the Sport Edition of the E-Class Coupé and Cabriolet, Mercedes-Benz is introducing a look that emphasises the dynamism of these two-door models. A sporty tone is set by a front apron with distinctive air inlets, a louvre in the radiator trim in high-gloss black with chrome inserts, as well as muscular side sill panels.
The agility control sports suspension with sporty spring and damper tuning guarantees enhanced driving dynamics and is equipped with exclusive 18-inch AMG light-alloy wheels, perforated front brake discs and brake callipers with “Mercedes-Benz” lettering.
In the interior, the driver and front passenger are accommodated in black-leather upholstered multicontour seats – with linarite blue and alpaca grey topstitching also for the door centre panels, armrest and centre console. The sporty nature of these special-edition models is further underscored by a three-spoke multifunction sports steering, silver steering-wheel shift paddles and sports pedals in brushed stainless steel with rubber studs.
