After much anticipation and speculation, Mercedes-Benz has finally taken the wraps off the new C-Class Coupe. Slipping in underneath the E-Class Coupe, the C-Class Coupe is essentially a C-Class sedan with two fewer doors and a lower roofline.

It will be offered with two engines: the C250 with its 1.8-liter direct-injection turbo four and the C350 with the 3.5-liter V6. Both come with a seven-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, with an AMG version expected to follow in April at the New York Auto Show. This model, however, will be unveiled at the rapidly approaching Geneva Motor Show, now just a few weeks away.
