Mercedes-Benz is going full throttle on replacing ageing models by their respective successors, and here is proof this goes for the C-Class sport coupé as well.
The pictures were taken in Stuttgart, and they show the new car with minimum disguising.
Although the new C sport coupé will mimic the design of the brand-new C-class sedan, the coming coupé is actually built around the mechanics of the existing model - and hence based on the chassis of the outgoing C class.
The basic concept of the car - short coupé with huge tailgate - will remain unchanged, too.
The name, on the other hand, is likely to be replaced by the somewhat easier "CLC" badge.
