Spied again: 2009 Mercedes C-Class Sportcoupe [interior shot!]

Mercedes is going full throttle on replacing aging models with their respective successors, and here is proof this goes for the C-Class Sportcoupe as well.



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

Although the new Sportcoupe will mimic the design of the brand-new 2008 C-Class sedan, the upcoming coupe is actually built around the mechanics of the existing model - based on the chassis of the outgoing C"'class. The basic concept of the car - short coupé with huge tailgate - will remain unchanged, too.

Daimler had planned to scrap the Sportcoupe all together, but upper management decided the model should be kept at the last minute.

Like with the outgoing model, buyers will have the option between the four-cylinder C180 (156 bhp, compressor), the C200 (184 bhp, compressor), a six-cylinder C230 (204 bhp) or the C350 (272 bhp). New offerings might include a C280 V6 delivering 231 horsepower and diesel enthusiasts might prefer the C200 CDI (136 bhp) or C220 CDI (170 bhp).
