Mercedes E-Class Coupe Spy Video

Spy photographers have come even closer to the 2009 Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe, to the extent that voices of its testers are quite audible on this video.

Pleasing to the eye is how little camouflage remains on the body, with a few strips of black tape covering its sharpest lines, almost as if to say "this is where the line goes, just follow the tape".

Expected to be unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, the car is currently going through its normal deep winter testing paces. Still based on the C-Class platform, the E-Class coupe replaces the CLK. It will carry a number of engines associated with this type of vehicle, including a 3.5-litre V6, 5.4-litre V8 and an uprated 6.2-litre AMG V8.
