E-Class Next E-class on a Severe Diet

[Amat46]

Time to start spy shots thread perhaps

 

[W201]

It has begun.

 

[fortuner]

Personally I think this spy pics are not of the E class...Maybe C class black series.

 

[Amat46]

No black series cannot have such a wider track, so it is definitely next E

 

[DJRaze99]

After all this car is definitely longer from C of the class and to it these wheels, it cannot be Black Series...

 

[lukeswiss]

Very cool. Love the new shape of the rear window. Like the CL, and S-Coupe.

Hate the potential of non-LED lights.

It will be very interesting to see whether people can differentiate between all their sedans now..... they will all look fairly similar.

 

[Amat46]

and most importantly Black series will always be a coupe and this is a sedan.

 

[SKY]

Have I missed anything? This is just a longer and wider C-Class. Which probably means a 4-door coupe version of the C-Class in on the works.

 

[SCOTT27]

Or a 5dr Sport Coupe.

 

[merc4]

could be anything. The front is C63 AMG, the back is normal C class, probably 17 inch wheels, wider stance. But it is interesting that we have not seen some spy shots of the new E class yet. BMW 5 series has been testing for some time now eventhough the current version was introduced after the current E class.

Would it not be the first time that a carmaker use a car from an other range for a mule? I believe by now I have seen always mules with the body from the predecessor. But nothing is impossible.

 

[SCOTT27]

It depends on how closely aligned they are in conception, that it is possible to use existing mechanicals over a be-spoke body.
