Mercedes is going full throttle on replacing ageing models by their respective successors, and here is proof this goes for the C Sportcoupé as well.

The pictures were taken in northern Sweden, and they show the new car for the first time ever.

Although the new C Sportcoupé will mimic the design of the brand-new C-class saloon, the coming coupé is actually built around the mechanics of the existing model - and hence based on the chassis of the outgoing C class.

It seems as if the basic concept of the car - short coupé with huge tailgate - will remain unchanged, too.

Its engine range will probably reflect that of its sedan sibling.

But Mercedes has been tight-lipped about its plans for a new Sportscoupe and actually announced a couple of years ago that the model will be dropped.

So, time will tell what are Stuttgart's plans with this model.
