Previewing the design language of the next-generation CLK coupe that will be known as the E-Class Coupe as well as the new E-Class sedan, the ConceptFASCINATION will make its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show. Freed from the constraints of the marketing division, Mercedes’ designers decided to reinterpret the coupe with a ‘shooting brake’ concept and we must say that the overall result is both elegant and dynamic. But even though the ‘shooting brake’ conept looks cool, don’t expect to see it going into production as Mercedes will opt for a more traditional coupe bodystyle for the CLK’s successor.
What you should expect to see is the front end design with the diamond shaped headlights finding its way into both the E-Class Sedan and Coupe models. Inside Mercedes says that the characteristic V-shape of the exterior is continued on the dashboard which features an instrument cluster with five tubes and silver dials. The cabin can accommodate four passengers along with their weekend luggage. -Continued
