The Carlsson has released the first details and images of the 2010 Carlsson Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe program. Carlsson offers a variety of 19 and 20 inch light alloy wheels for the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe. The Carlsson Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe program include the “1/5 REVO” 20-inchers for €3969 ($5,645) and the 19 inch “1/11 Evo Brilliant Edition” wheels for €2499 ($3,554). Carlsson also offers sport lowering kit for the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe (€239 / $340) which reduces the ride height by 30 mm (1.2″).
The E-Class coupe draws heavily on the styling of the 2010 E-Class sedan that was unveiled to the press at the Detroit Auto Show. From outside, the roof is now so curved. In fact, flat panels are few and far between, especially with the busy rear quarter panels. Chrome trim encircles the side windows which follow a practically protracted curve along the roof line. Instead of familiar four-oval front end, they placed angular nose with four pointy diamond-like, headlamps and LED running lights that peek out from the lower fascia.
Inside the coupe, there is seating for only four occupants with what appears to be a fairly roomy back seat. The controller for the standard Command multimedia interface is perched directly behind the shifter. A panoramic sunroof is standard as well, along with leather sport seats and dual-zone climate control. Technology also finds its way into the coupe. Standard equipment includes PRE-SAFE – the crash anticipating safety system, and ATTENTION ASSIST – sensing system – that helps keep drowsy drivers alert. You can also opt for adaptive cruise control, ventilated front seats, and a system that dims the highbeams.
The 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class was recently launched in the European market and tuned Brabus has already put together a tuning program for the new Mercedes-Benz sedan.
Besides all the body modifications (which we’re going to skip over and let you read about in the press release after the jump), Brabus is offering a 462-hp upgrade for the 382-hp 6.1L V8 Mercedes-Benz E550. That allows for 0 to 62 mph sprint in just 4.7 seconds with a top speed of 191 mph.
The coupe goes on sale in June, Engine options range from the oil-sipping E 250 CDI BlueEfficiency to the V8-powered E 500. I think American market can expect to see the E500 Coupe first, with a 5.0-liter V-8 under the hood. But there’s no official word if we’ll get the E250 or E350 CDI BlueEfficiency models, only we can expect that Mercedes is hard at work to bring their latest diesel technology to our market.
Along with a number of interior upgrades Brabus is also offering 20-inch light-alloy wheels for the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. All components are backed by Brabus’s three-year/62,000 miles warranty.
We’re guessing this should you calm and collected until the launch of the 2010 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG at the 2009 New York Auto Show.
