2011 Mercedes C-Class leaked?

Are these the first official drawings of the 2011 Mercedes C-Class facelift? AutoBild says yes, but we're not entirely convinced.

Doubts aside, the pictures show an updated sedan with a revised front fascia, a new hood, and SL-inspired headlights with LED turn signals. Inside, the cabin has been completely revamped with a redesigned dashboard, a new instrument cluster, and an integrated COMAND display.

Under the hood, a variety of engines will be available. Notable choices will likely include the 225 kW (306 PS / 302 hp) 350 BlueEFFICIENCY, the 195 kW (265 PS / 262 hp) 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY and the 150 kW (204 PS / 201 hp) 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. Of course, there will also be the C 63 AMG with a 6.3-liter (6208cc) V8 that produces 451 hp (336 kW / 457 PS) and 443 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque.

The car will reportedly be introduced at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, so expect to learn more in the coming months.
