2011 E-Class

Coupe and Cabriolet

What drives us to continually rethink what every new day can bring? Since the invention of the car itself, the ongoing history

of Mercedes‑Benz innovation has been inspired most deeply by the allure of the road ahead. For generations, Mercedes‑Benz

coupes and cabriolets have cultivated perhaps the most intimate connection between drivers, the highway below and the sky

above. Warmly engaging and yet refreshingly liberating, the pillarless coupes and soft‑top cabriolets of the 2011 E‑Class take

to the road as passionately as they invigorate the enthusiast blood within their four passengers. Their performance may be

crafted from logic and precision, but you’ll feel it exactly the way it begins every day for our engineers: pure, moving romance.

A timeless story for a new age.

The romance of the open road.

Introducing the 2011 E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet.

Driving the winds of change.

The all-new, all-season E-Class Cabriolets. It’s almost a shame the triple‑layer soft top of a new E‑Class Cabriolet is so finely tailored, as it’s destined to spend most of

its time nestled under its sculpted cover. Mercedes‑Benz has once again reinvented open‑air motoring, with innovations that virtually eliminate drafts in the cabin, even

for rear‑seat passengers, and countless ways to enhance the in‑car environment so that even a brisk evening feels more like a sunny day. Beyond the sun‑sensing dual‑zone

climate control, there are optional front seats that can warm you, keep you cooler, and even offer a virtual scarf so you can enjoy driving with the top down longer into

the evening or the change of seasons. When rain or winter finally arrive, the insulated soft top powers up in seconds to ensconce you in a stylish haven of quiet comfort.

Sound-dampening soft top. Exquisitely crafted from

three layers totalling nearly a full inch in thickness, the rich

fabric power soft top is designed to provide a coupe‑like

level of silence in the cabin. In just 20 seconds, it stows

away while preserving a generous 8.8 cu ft of trunk space.

AIRCAP. Standard on every 2011 E‑Class Cabriolet is an

exclusive innovation that virtually eliminates drafts when

you’re driving with the top down. A wind deflector rises

from above the windshield, while a power‑operated see‑

through screen is raised between the rear head restraints.

AIRSCARF. Optional as part of the Premium 1 Package

is a neck‑level heating system that provides warmed air

through adjustable vents within each front head restraint.

AIRSCARF extends the top‑down driving season with three

heat settings and airflow that adapts to driving speed.

An all-embracing view of performance.

The peerless, panoramic E-Class Coupes. A multifaceted vision of performance, luxury and innovation, the E‑Class Coupe is equally notable for what you won’t

encounter within its sculpted body. Aggressive aerodynamics enables it to slip through the wind virtually unnoticed, with a drag coefficient as low as 0.28. Pillarless

hardtop design creates a profile that’s uninterrupted by framework between the power side windows — an elaborate feat of engineering that’s unique in its class. From

the embrace of its four individually contoured seats, the E‑Class Coupe’s standard all‑glass Panorama sunroof offers a breathtaking view of the sun and stars. And

from its gleaming white Daytime Running Lamps1 to its quick‑reacting brake lamps and wraparound taillamps, LED illumination assures you a total absence of anonymity.

Pillarless design. Long a hallmark of Mercedes‑Benz

coupes, the elimination of visible B‑pillars offers a sense

of wide‑open freedom even with the windows up. All four

power windows are fully retractable, for a breezy driving

sensation that’s simply unobtainable in ordinary coupes.

Panorama sunroof. A vast expanse of heat‑reflecting

tinted glass provides all four passengers in the E‑Class

Coupe with a view of the sky. At the touch of a button, the

front portion tilts open for ventilation or slides back for a

breeze. A power sliding screen helps filter out sunlight.

LED lighting. With longer life, lower energy use and faster

illumination than conventional light bulbs, LED brake lamps,

rear turn signals and taillamps enhance both safety and

nighttime style. The optional Premium 2 Package adds LED

front turn signals, along with adaptive Bi‑Xenon headlamps.

7-speed automatic. Combining close‑ratio shifting with a wider overall range, the E‑Class

transmission responds seamlessly in either of two automatic modes or under manual‑style

Touch Shift control. Paddle shifters are standard on E 550 models, and an E 350 option.

Advanced suspensions. The AGILITY CONTROL suspension on E 350 models recalibrates

instantly to the road surface, for an ideal balance of crispness and comfort. On E 550 models,

a sport‑tuned Dynamic Handling suspension lets you modify the vehicle’s driving character

at the touch of a button, altering the damping rates, accelerator response and shift points.

Staggered-width alloy wheels. Both the 17" split 5‑spoke wheels on the E 350 models

and the 18" 5‑spoke E 550 wheels are wider at the rear, to balance stronger tire grip under

acceleration with excellent steering feedback. 18" AMG wheels are optional on all models.

V-6 and V-8 engines. E 350 Coupes and Cabriolets feature a smooth, strong 268‑hp V‑6,

while a formidable 382‑hp 5.5‑liter V‑8 motivates the E 550 models. Both engines cleverly

engage their alternators and power steering pumps only on demand, boosting efficiency.

The power to outgo the flow.

Performance engineered to lead where other cars may someday go. Step on the accelerator in an E‑Class

and an entire industry is propelled forward. Torque‑rich V‑6 and V‑8 engines generate a seemingly endless rush of

thrust while exercising innovative measures to conserve fuel and reduce emissions. Advanced handling systems

continually respond to changes in the road with instantaneous fine‑tuning of the suspension. Through it all, the first

7‑speed automatic transmission in its class adapts to your driving style with instant — and constant — enthusiasm.

E 550 Coupe shown with optional Palladium Silver metallic paint and Premium 2 Package.

Body structure. E‑Class Coupe and Cabriolet body structures

expertly manage both weight and impact forces by utilizing ultra‑

high‑strength steel in critical areas. Cabriolets feature strategic

reinforcements to help compensate for the absence of a fixed roof.

Nine standard air bags. Pelvic air bags complement the front‑seat

side‑impact air bags, and a driver’s knee air bag augments dual‑stage

front air bags.2 Side curtain air bags are provided at all four seating

positions in Coupe models, and for the front seats in Cabriolets.

Brighter lighting. The optional Premium 2 Package adds adaptive

Bi‑Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination, plus Adaptive

Highbeam Assist, which continuously varies the headlamp range to

maximize illumination without creating glare for other drivers.

Pop-up roll bars. E‑Class Cabriolets are outfitted with the latest

generation of a feature first introduced by Mercedes‑Benz more than

20 years ago. High‑strength steel roll bars, integrated with the rear

head restraints, deploy automatically in 0.3 seconds if a rollover is

detected.3 The rear head restraints also rise automatically as soon

as the rear‑seat passengers fasten their seat belts.

PRE-SAFE. During certain vehicle maneuvers, the exclusive PRE‑SAFE

system can detect instability suggesting that a collision or rollover

is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front

head restraints and passenger seat, and close the windows plus the

Coupe’s sunroof, all in an effort to better prepare the occupants.4

DISTRONIC PLUS. A Mercedes‑Benz innovation that takes cruise

control to new heights in convenience, this option adapts your set

speed in response to traffic ahead, automatically slowing down until

your path is clear again. DISTRONIC PLUS can even brake the car to

a full halt if traffic stops, then resume automatically when it clears.5

PRE-SAFE Brake. Included with DISTRONIC PLUS, radar‑based

sensors can detect an impending collision with a vehicle ahead of

the E‑Class. PRE‑SAFE Brake then automatically applies up to 100%

of the car’s braking force to help reduce the severity of impact.5

ATTENTION ASSIST. Another Mercedes‑Benz safety innovation,

ATTENTION ASSIST continually monitors numerous driving behaviors,

and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible

warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips.6

Foresight to redefine the future.

Innovation that can alter the course of history. Perhaps no chapter in the life story of the automobile is more deeply

associated with Mercedes‑Benz than the ongoing chronicle of safety leadership — from the invention of the first crumple

zone 60 years ago to the PRE‑SAFE® system of today that can actually detect and prepare for a collision before it happens.

True to its heritage, the 2011 E‑Class is engineered with exclusive and groundbreaking safety advances that maybe all

cars will have in the future. The protection they offer today could rewrite the story of your own life.

A fresh air of refinement.

Advanced ambience. Whether enjoying the Cabriolet with the top down, relishing the all‑windows‑open breezes of the Coupe, or cruising quietly in the closed comfort

of either, any ride in an E‑Class is a refreshing, rewarding experience. Four individual seats — a longstanding tradition for Mercedes‑Benz coupes and cabriolets — are

each finely tailored in double‑stitched leather, heightening your sense of belonging to something special. Sustainably harvested Burl Walnut wood trim, finished by hand

and accented with polished chrome and brushed aluminum, elevates old‑world craftsmanship to modern art. Digital dual‑zone climate control is enhanced with activated

charcoal filtration and sensors for sunlight and smog. Even the front seat belts rise to welcome you, automatically extending to meet your reach after you close the door.

Individual rear seats. Intimate yet spacious, twin rear

seats are divided by a wood‑trimmed console. Cabriolets

have a center‑armrest pass‑through and head restraints

incorporating pop‑up roll bars.3 Coupes feature integrated

head restraints and seatbacks that fold in a 2⁄3:1⁄3 split.

Sport front seats. Deeply contoured sport front seats

power‑adjust 14 ways, including 4‑way lumbar support.

A 3‑position memory system for each seat also includes the

driver’s steering‑column and side‑mirror settings. The front

seats shift forward to facilitate rear‑seat entry and exit.

Premium seating. The E‑Class Option Packages offer an

enticing array of enhancements for the front seats: soothing

3‑stage heating, the cool comfort of Active Ventilated seats,

and multicontour seats that you can tailor precisely to your

liking with adjustable thigh, lumbar and shoulder supports.

An intuitive sense of direction.

Forward thinking in every dimension. While you savor every moment behind the wheel of an E‑Class, its user‑friendly technology

keeps its senses tuned to the world that surrounds you. The COMAND system places entertainment, navigation7 and information such as

real‑time traffic reports8 within easy reach, with a convenient central controller and a high‑resolution 7" in‑dash display. Brilliantly detailed

instrumentation reads clearly through the 3‑spoke multifunction steering wheel. And it doesn’t just look forward with an eye to the future:

Optional E‑Class parking assists can help you size up a space electronically, then help you see objects behind the car as you back up.9

harman/kardon audio. An optional 12‑speaker LOGIC7® system outputs

450 watts of Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound. Listening choices include

HD Radio™ stations, SIRIUS® Satellite Radio,8 iPod® integration,11 6GB Music

Register for uploading MP3 files, 6‑DVD/CD changer and memory card reader.

Rear view camera and PARKTRONIC. Two options help you negotiate

tight spaces. The rear view camera is part of the Premium 1 Package. The

DISTRONIC PLUS Package includes PARKTRONIC with Parking Guidance, a

system that helps you size up a parking space for fit, then guides you into it.

Multifunction steering wheel. Conveniently placed buttons let you adjust

the audio system, use the Bluetooth® wireless interface,10 and thumb through

the various screens of the multifunction display inside the speedometer face,

all without taking your hands off the Premium leather‑wrapped steering wheel.

Navigation with live traffic. The optional navigation system features a

fast 40GB hard drive, Zagat® Survey ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf

courses, and live SIRIUS Traffic™ updates. Enhanced Voice Control lets you

find addresses by speaking normally, with no need to spell out city names.

2 WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE

13. THE SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY

INSTALLED CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR’S

MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.

3 The roll bar system is designed to enhance the level of rollover protection compared to a vehicle without one. No system,

regardless of how advanced, can eliminate the chance of injury in an accident. Please always wear your seat belt.

4 PRE‑SAFE® closes the side windows and sunroof when the system’s sensors detect side movement that suggests a

possible rollover.

5 DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not recognize or predict

the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to

be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain

control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as

that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. After braking the car for stopped traffic ahead, system

resumes automatically only if traffic pauses for less than 3 seconds.

For a small blue planet

For 125 years — longer than any other automaker — we’ve been sharing this planet with you. Respecting it, and protecting it, have long been a part of our vision and ambition. We introduced

the world’s first CFC‑free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire manufacturing process. We’ve been using water‑borne paints for years, and source the wood for our interior

trim from responsibly sustained forests. We’ve been pioneering advanced powertrains for generations, from today’s hybrid models and 50‑state clean diesels to the fuel cell vehicles of

tomorrow. Mercedes‑Benz is also legendary for producing automobiles of extraordinary durability, with 88% of the vehicles sold in the last 20 years — and a remarkable 75% of the vehicles

we’ve ever sold in the U.S. — still on the road.18 After all, it takes virtually the same amount of energy to build vehicles that last as ones that won’t. Even our brochures conserve resources

and are produced with eco‑conscious printing. Everything we engineer is born from the motivation and ingenuity to make things better. Passion with compassion — that is what drives us.
