Mercedes-Benz launched its all new C-Class Coupé, and the third generation of its most successful sports car ever - the SLK Roadster - in spectacular style in Beirut
Held at SkyBar, one of the Middle East’s most fashionable nightspots, the Middle East launch of the innovative and sporty new Mercedes-Benz models was held before an audience of 800 which included Mercedes-Benz’ General Distributors, customers, and media from across the region.
The C-Class Coupé enters a new market segment for Mercedes-Benz, offering a sporty compact coupé with classic proportions and a forward-looking, expressive style, and technology that includes a new generation of telematics with internet access. From the side, the new coupé beguiled revellers with its flat silhouette, powerful shoulders and narrow C-pillar in a classic three-box design.
The C-Class Coupé will be available in the Middle East as C 250 BlueEFFICIENCY, and C 350 BlueEFFICIENCY engine versions. A 457hp 6.3-litre C 63 AMG Coupé V8 engine version is also offered, with the option to be boosted to 487 hp with the AMG Performance package. An additional C 180 engine version will be available in the Levant.
The launch of the new SLK Roadster marks the third generation of one of the most exciting and successful sports cars ever built, designed to take driving pleasure and open-air enjoyment to a new level. It blends light-footed sportiness with stylish comfort, a striking sports-car design with total suitability for everyday use, and top performance with exemplary ecology.
The SLK proudly introduced the Middle East to its world-first panoramic vario-roof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL, which switches to light or dark at the touch of a button. Three new direct injection engine powered SLK models will be available in the region. Four-cylinder engines include the 184 hp SLK 200 BlueEFFICIENCY and 204 hp SLK 250 BlueEFFICIENCY, and the 306 hp V6 engine in the SLK 350.
