As early as 1956 the 220 S Coupé set a significant milestone in automotive history with its progressive technology and comfortable self - supporting chassis - body structure, not to mention its sheer elegance. These same qualities are still very much in evidence to this day : elegance is the distinguishing character trait of today’s Mercedes - Benz coupés. The 220 S Coupé is one of the forebears of the Gran Turismo, the culture of “splendid travel”. In 1958 journalists at MOTOR REVUE rejoiced : “The 220 S offers so much in terms of comfort and performance. The interior equipment is absolutely outstanding.” As the youngest member of the Mercedes - Benz coupé family the new E - Class Coupé certainly lives up to this claim. Alongside its impressive technology it has everything it takes to be a classic right from the word go : the genes of the Mercedes - Benz coupé family. Inspired It exerts a magical allure. The new E - Class Coupé turns heads. It makes you want to get in. With its extroverted design and timeless good looks. With its sheer power delivery and refined handling. With its integral safety and highest - possible levels of comfort. With everything that distinguishes a Mercedes - Benz coupé: with the kind of passion that just won’t loosen its grip.

Whilst jetties are built for ships, so that they can move in shallow waters when in harbour, things are a little trickier where roads are concerned : new uneven sections and holes are constantly appearing, caused by rain, frost and construction work. If a car is to drive as comfortably and quietly as a ship on a calm sea, its suspension has to adapt to the roads ; it has to smooth them out. Mercedes - Benz has come up with the solution : the AGILITY CONTROL package. It lessens the impact of uneven sections of road by constantly setting its dampers in accordance with the surface being driven over. And at the same time it enhances the road roar and tyre vibration characteristics. This, along with the optional Dynamic Handling package, which tightens the shock absorber characteristic at the touch of a button in sports mode, sees to it that there are no obstacles to enjoying a trip in the new E - Class Coupé. 29 30 Insight | Safety By far the most relaxing way to travel Wild geese fly thousands of miles in their impressive V- shaped wedge formation – without any stress whatsoever. They inspired the Mercedes - Benz engineers carrying out research into how driving a car might be made even more comfortable, efficient and safe. The result of their work comes in the shape of a system that makes journeys in the new E - Class Coupé more relaxed than ever and that can even adjust the car’s distance from other vehicles according to the road and traffic conditions : the optional DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control. Short and long - range radar sensors constantly monitor the area surrounding the vehicle and regulate its speed – both in stop - and - go traffic and in the speed range up to 200 km / h. As soon as the vehicle in front accelerates the E-Class Coupé also gently speeds up until the set speed is reached again. This makes even a longer journey stress - free, and because this driving style is particularly efficient, fuel consumption is also reduced. ber of cylinders / arrangement 4 / in - line Total displacement 2143 cc E 350 CG / 2800 – 4800 Dynamic Handling package Compression ratio 16.2 Rated torqu ion ) EASY - ENTRY system Rear axle 235 / 45 R 17 Fuel diesel ADAPTIVE BRA ned 8.5 – 8.7 E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY CO2 emissions g / km overall ( 138 ) R ity 450 l Turning circle diameter 10.95 m Kerb weight ( kg ) 1690 ( 1695 ) kg US 2165 ( 2165 ) Number of cylinders / arrangement E 250 CGI BlueEFFICIEN sion ratio 9.3 Rated torque 310 / 2000 – 4300 Acceleration from 0 – 100 km / h package 7G - TRONIC Fuel consumption combined 5.3 ( 5.8 ) l / 100 km EASY TRY system The facts Tyre size front, 235 / 40 R 18 AGILITY CONTROL E 350 GI BlueEFFICIENCY Rated output 215 / 6400 kW at rpm Top speed approx.

As for diesel engines, Mercedes-Benz has brought to market its BlueTEC technology based on common - rail direct injection ( CDI ). This technology is the embodiment of the world’s cleanest diesel as it can reduce nitrogen oxides by up to 80 %. Great things are also expected of BlueHYBRID technology - a combination of a highly efficient internal combustion engine and an electric motor. Vehicles equipped with this drive system raise the bar once again in terms of economy and cleanliness, as shown by the S - Class from 2009 onwards. Mercedes - Benz calls the equivalent technology for diesel vehicles BlueTEC HYBRID. A prototype version of this system can be seen in the Vision GLK 300 BlueTEC HYBRID1, which is currently the world’s cleanest and most economical SUV. It returns a combined consumption figure of just 5.9 l / 100 km. And with the F700 research vehicle, we have succeeded in combining the advantages of a petrol engine with those of a diesel powerplant. The DIESOTTO drive at the heart of the F700 may have petrol in the tank; however, it operates like an economical diesel model in many driving situations. Mercedes - Benz also sees great potential in the development of the fuel cell. This highly promising drive system requires no mineral fuel whatsoever and operates with zero emissions. The first of these vehicles to be built under series production conditions – the B - Class F - CELL – is due to be manufactured from 2010. TrueBlueSolutions Climate change is one of the major challenges of the 21st century. The rising consumption of natural resources is having an increasing impact on our planet. As the inventor of the motor car, Mercedes - Benz has a special responsibility to implement innovative technologies in order to develop solutions that help preserve the environment and ensure that raw materials are used as efficiently as possible – without compromising on comfort, safety and driving enjoyment. We call them TrueBlueSolutions. Our goal is emission - free mobility. To come closer to achieving this goal, we have developed a number of concepts, one of which is BlueEFFICIENCY. This custom - designed package of efficiency measures can reduce fuel consumption by up to 23 % : various aerodynamic and energy - management measures are implemented individually for each model to maximise savings in each case. These include tyres with low rolling resistance, lightweight materials, BlueEFFICIENCY. Numerous models, various measures, one goal : maximum efficiency Equipment | Page 56 – 77 Facts & figures | Page 78 – 80 Services | Page 81 – 83 However, our extensive TrueBlueSolutions concept does not just include new drive technologies. Under the banner Design for Environment, we look at the vehicle’s entire lifecycle – from planning to recycling. The same applies to the building and running of new plants. We save energy, avoid pollutants and we are increasing the use of renewable raw materials. Incidentally, Mercedes-Benz is the world’s only car brand to have received the independently awarded German Technical Inspection Authority2 environmental certificate. TrueBlueSolutions also involves the active participation of the Group and its employees in environmental protection measures both inside and outside the company’s plants. And it incorporates a commitment to developing second - generation alternative fuels (BTL/Biomass-to-Liquid fuels), such as SunDiesel, which are not at odds with food production. Another aspect of TrueBlueSolutions is the research discipline of bionics, which looks at structures and designs in the natural world in order to optimise the weight and aerodynamics of body constructions, for example. Last but not least, you can also do your bit for TrueBlueSolutions by adapting your driving style. BlueHYBRD. In the S - Class from 2009. Look forward to one of BlueTEC HYBRID.

Beavering away in the E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY is a completely newly developed 4-cylinder diesel engine. Particularly impressive are its pulling power, refinement and economy. Its maximum torque of 500 Nm is already available in the lower engine speed range between 1600 and 1800 rpm – and can call up 150 kW ( 204 hp ) if required. The engine is now up to 20 % more powerful than previous comparable models, whilst torque has increased by up to 25 %. At the same time fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have dropped by up to 13 %. Co - responsible for these impressive Equipment | Page 56 – 77 Facts & figures | Page 78 – 80 achievements are fourth-generation common-rail technology, whose injection pressure has been increased to 2000 bar, as well as optimised combustion chambers and extremely precise piezo injectors. Meanwhile two-stage charging ensures high torque in every engine speed range, whilst the requisite refinement comes courtesy of two Lanchester balancer shafts. The 6 - cylinder engine. Impressive figures characterise the E 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. With its six cylinders the engine produces an output of 170 kW ( 231 hp ) and a maximum torque of 540 Nm at 1600 – 2400 rpm : a healthy reserve for spontaneous sprints. At the same time the engine works cleanly and economically, with help from the quick and precise piezo injectors and the injection pressure of up to 1600 bar plus the lightweight design throughout.

There is a particularly efficient unit at work in the E 250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY : the 4 - cylinder in - line engine with turbocharging and direct injection. Not only does its design ensure refinement in all engine speed ranges ; it also facilitates the high output of 150 kW ( 204 hp ) and the impressive torque of 310 Nm without much displacement – just 1.8 l to be precise. The resultant reduced weight and the lower internal friction keep consumption well and truly down. What’s more, the CGI direct injection makes a worthy contribution to the engine’s efficiency as it needs less petrol. Equipment | Page 56 – 77 Facts & figures | Page 78 – 80 The 6-cylinder petrol engine. State - of - the - art technology forms the basis for the drive system in the E 350 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY : 4 valves per cylinder, variable intake and exhaust camshaft adjustment, a two - stage intake manifold and a balancer shaft. The E 350 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY saves fuel, reduces CO2 emissions and impresses with enhanced refinement. These advantages are down to the second - generation direct petrol injection system from Mercedes - Benz, which operates using spray - guided combustion and high - pressure injection. Maximum power and peak torque – 215 kW ( 292 hp ) and 365 Nm respectively – are available in a wide range from 3000 to 5100 rpm. The 8-cylinder petrol engine. The crowning glory in the range of engines for the new E-Class Coupé is a superb specimen : the E 500. This 8 - cylinder unit boasting 285 kW ( 388 hp ) develops a maximum torque of 530 Nm at 2800 to 4800 rpm. Accelerating from 0 to 100 km / h in 5.4 seconds and with a top speed of 250 km/h, the E 500 is a sports car through and through.

They are precisely tailored to each engine to ensure optimum performance figures. There are three different exhaust systems available for the E-Class Coupé: the 4-cylinder models are fitted with an oval tailpipe, the 6 - cylinder models with two oval tailpipes. The 8 - cylinder engine in the E 500 also has a two - pipe exhaust system ; as a differentiating feature the trapezoidal pipe is integrated into the bumper covering. A catalytic converter for the petrol models and a particulate filter for the diesel models are obligatory. The 4 - cylinder models have an oval tailpipe The 6 - cylinder models are fitted with two oval tailpipes The two - pipe exhaust system with its trapezoidal tailpipes distinguishes the 8 - cylinder model Equipment | Page 56 – 77 Fact & figures | Page 78 – 80 Services | Page 81 – 83 Transmissions Whether you prefer a dynamic or a more relaxed driving style, the manual and automatic transmissions for the new E - Class Coupé ensure optimum engine power transmission in each and every traffic situation. The transmissions for 4 - cylinder models : the 6 - gear manual transmission in the E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY facilitates particularly fast gear changes with very short and precise shift Individual gears can be skipped when changing down with the 7G - TRONIC if spontaneous acceleration is called for travel. At the same time ride comfort is increased through precise tuning of the engine output, gear spacing and rear axle ratio. The 5 - speed automatic transmission in the E 250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY ( optional for the E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY ) works with five gears and is electronically governed. The automatic transmission also lets you change gear manually by pressing the selector lever towards the left or right. At the touch of a button you can select two shift programs with which the transmission characteristics and shift points are determined : “C” mode for an economical driving style and “S” mode for a sporty driving style. The transmission for 6 and 8 - cylinder models : the seven forward gears on the 7G - TRONIC transmission ensure that you always drive in the optimum engine speed range, which means that fuel consumption can be reduced. When overtaking or in situations requiring spontaneous pulling power, individual gears can be skipped. The shift programs “C” and “S” are also selectable at the touch of a button for the 7G - TRONIC. 43 44 Drive system & chassis Safety | Page 46 – 49 Comfort | Page 50 – 55 Chassis and suspension The new E - Class Coupé is tuned to both comfortable and sporty driving styles. The Dynamic Handling package increases fun at the wheel even further with its selectable suspension and trasmission setups. AGILITY CONTROL package ( standard ). With its selective damping system the suspension is constantly and variably adjusted to suit the road conditions and your driving style. In the case of weaker shocks it reduces the damping force individually for each wheel and increases road roar and tyre vibration characteristics. When the vehicle encounters more pronounced uneven sections the system steps up the damping effect and can increase driving stability. In addition to this the steering has a more direct ratio and, in conjunction with the manual transmission, short shift travel means even more precise wheel control. AGILITY CONTROL sports suspension with speed - sensitive power steering ( optional / standard in conjunction with AMG Sports package ). In comparison with the standard - fit AGILITY CONTROL suspension the springs and shock absorbers of the AGILITY CONTROL sports suspension are more tightly tuned. This leads – especially when the driving style is dynamic – to reduced rolling motions and improves the handling of the E-Class Coupé. The more direct steering ratio of the speed - sensitive sports steering supplements the suspension by enabling a more spontaneous transfer of the steering movements to the road. Dynamic Handling package ( optional / standard on the E 500 ). With the Dynamic Handling package just a simple touch of the “SPORT” button is all it takes to switch all the related systems from the regular comfort mode to the sports mode. The damping becomes noticeably tighter and the engine’s response to the accelerator pedal is much more direct. At the same time the shift program of the automatic transmission changes to a more forthright mode which ensures optimum acceleration at all times. The speed - sensitive sports steering creates a sporty and direct steering sensation in both driving modes. ADAPTIVE BRAKE ( standard ). The ADAPTIVE BRAKE system lends the new E - Class Coupé more ride comfort and safety. Together with the anti - lock braking system ABS it helps drivers to master critical braking manouevres. With its functions for dry braking in wet conditions and priming the brakes respond more directly. When starting off on an incline unintentional rolling back is prevented and ( if you press the brake pedal a second time) the HOLD function keeps your vehicle securely in its place in any situation. Equipment | Page 56 – 77 Facts & figures | Page 78 – 80 Services | Page 81 – 83 The Dynamic Handling package with its sports mode : decidedly sporty driving at the touch of a button for more agile driving characteristics, optimum vehicle control and improved handling at higher speeds 45 46 Drive system & chassis | Page 36 – 45 Safety Comfort | Page 50 – 55 Safe driving Mercedes - Benz pursues a comprehensive safety philosophy : the integral safety concept. At its core lies the vision of accident - free driving : numerous measures support the driver in critical situations and can help to prevent an accident. ATTENTION ASSIST (standard). This new drowsiness detection system is especially useful on long trips. At speeds of between 80 and 180 km / h, ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver as soon as it detects signs of drowsiness or inattention. All thanks to sensors that analyse driving behaviour and detect any changes compared with the driver profile individually determined previously. Intelligent Light System ( optional ). With its four automatic settings this system ensures the best possible visibility in every driving situation. In the rural - road mode the edge of the road is illuminated much better than is the case with conventional headlamps. The motorway mode provides the same degree of illumination for the entire width of the carriageway. With the extended fog lamp function the left - hand bi xenon headlamp swings outwards and improves visibility. The active cornering light function follows the driver’s steering angle. And in addition to all this Highbeam Assist gives the driver an even better overview : the vehicle’s own light is only dimmed to such an extent that drivers of oncoming vehicles or of vehicles in front are not dazzled. If the driver shows signs of drowsiness, ATTENTION ASSIST Adaptive Highbeam Assist ensures a virtually seamless transition The DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control automatically keeps the recommends taking a break between low and main beam coupé at a safe distance from the vehicle in front DISTRONIC PLUS ( optional ). The DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control uses short - range and Equipment | Page 56 – 77 Facts & figures | Page 78 – 80 Services | Page 81 – 83 long - range sensors to maintain the desired safe distance to the vehicle in front. The system operates at speeds of between 0 and 200 km / h and is also helpful in city traffic or stop-and-go traffic as the sensors can operate in a range of between 0.2 and 200 metres. LED tail lights and adaptive brake lights ( standard ). Both the tail lights and brake lights plus the third brake light employ LEDs. They are significantly faster in comparison with conventional bulbs and they emphasise the sporty design of the tail end. During emergency braking the adaptive brake lights warn following traffic of the danger by blinking. The particularly fast LED tail lights and the adaptive brake lights are an important boost for perceptive safety 47 48 Drive system & chassis | Page 36 – 45 Safety Comfort | Page 50 – 55 In the event of danger or an accident The new E - Class Coupé is fitted with a system that is capable of recognising driving situations where there is the danger of an accident. The consequences of an accident can thus be lessened and the passengers afforded as much protection as possible. PRE - SAFE  system ( standard ). The PRE - SAFE  preventive occupant protection system can recognise critical driving situations in advance and then initiate preventive measures in order to protect the occupants: the side windows and the panoramic glass roof can be closed, the front passenger seat moved into a more favourable position and the seat belts electromotorically tensioned. PRE - SAFE  Brake ( optional in conjunction with DISTRONIC PLUS ). If a vehicle in front brakes abruptly or if the coupé gets dangerously close, the PRE - SAFE  Brake can initiate a partial brake application. In so doing the system works together with the DISTRONIC PLUS radar sensors which can recognise the imminent danger of a collision.
