The Mercedes E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet models are gaining two new special versions called Sport and V8 Edition, along with a general connectivity upgrade for the whole series.
The new Sport Edition of the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet features a more distinctive and dynamic look, thanks to bigger air inlets at the front, high-gloss black louvre with chrome inserts, sportier side sills, as well as a color-coordinated AMG spoiler lip and ‘diffuser-look’ bumper with twin, trapezoidal exhaust pipes. The exterior is finished in a special Brilliant Blue metallic paint which is reserved exclusively for these special editions.
The Agility Control sports suspension is offered as standard with a set of 18-inch AMG alloys and front perforated brake discs. The cabin is dressed in black leather with blue and grey stitching for the door panels, armrest and center console. Mercedes offers the cross-grain bright aluminum trim as standard, with high-gloss black ash, black piano lacquer and dark textured-grain aluminum trims available as options.
The new Sport Edition can be ordered with any of the available engines of the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet.
As for the V8 Edition, as you might have guessed, this is reserved just for the E 500 Coupe and Cabriolet models. A set of 19-inch titanium-grey AMG alloys along with special paint finishes in Selenite Grey and Designo White Bright and ‘V8 Edition’ badging on the front wings are featured on the exterior.
The interior gains a pair of multi-contour seats, exclusive nappa leather upholstery with contrasting stitching, a three-zone climate control, with Mercedes offering a rich selection of customization options for the trim of the cabin. The V8 Edition also offers the adaptive ‘Agility Control’ sports suspension as standard.
Mercedes is also upgrading the connectivity features of all the models in the E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet line-up, now offering Apple’s CarPlay and MirrorLink for better smartphone integration. The German company also added the Live Traffic Information feature across the range of the model.
The Sport Edition costs in Germany €4,367 (about $5,000) on top of the basic model, while the V8 Edition is priced at €7,973 (about $9,000).
