2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Cabriolet
Based on the award winning E-Class Coupe, the Carbio combines sexy styling with a retractable canvas roof. Speaking of the latter, the roof was specially designed to provide “one of the quietest interiors in the segment for four-seater premium cabriolets with a fabric roof.” It’s so serene, Mercedes promises that owners will be able to a have “perfectly normal” phone conversation at speeds exceeding 125 mph.
The Cabriolet Comfort new car package includes AIRCAP® with AIRSCARF®. This patented system functions like an invisible scarf, which warms the occupants’ head and neck areas. AIRSCARF® is integrated into the backrests of the front seats and provides warm air through outlets in the head restraints.
The new car Cabriolet offers the wealth of safety innovations one would expect from a Mercedes model. Highlights of the open-top two-door model include roll-over protection, the A-pillars reinforced by two additional tubes and the plug-in B pillars. This new model is also the first Mercedes cabriolet to feature headbags.
European engine options will include the 125 kW (170 hp) E 220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, the 150 kW (204 hp) E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, the 170 kW (231 hp) E 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY, the 135 kW (184 hp) E 200 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY, the 150 kW (204 hp) E 250 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY, the 215 kW (292 hp) E 350 CGI BlueEFFICIENCY, and the 285 kW (387 hp) E 500.
In the U.S. two initial engines will be available:
* E350 Cabriolet: 268 hp / 258 lb-ft.
* E550 Cabriolet: 382 hp/ 391 lb-ft.
Glimpse for the fresh E-Class Cabrio to inaugurate arriving at dealerships this May in the U.S. (March 27th in Europe).
