Mercedes-Benz Style Coupé
After a sneak appearance in Los Angeles prior to its debut at the
Beijing Auto Show this week, Mercedes-Benz ushered in the
next-generation of luxury design for the company with its dramatically
sexy Concept Style Coupé.
Strikingly dynamic in its bold masculine styling and decent power
output for a smaller executive sports car, the CSC sets a
strong precedent for its structure design, which focuses prominently
upon eye-catching surface body lines on the hood and sides. These focal
lines succeed in drawing the audiences’ center of attention from the
futuristic aggressive anterior, to the tapered, conservative rear.
Two additional features we love on this vehicle (and can’t be
forgotten upon seeing them) are the front lights and rims. The
fascinating headlights, which encompass a successive light-up system
similar to a keyboard; these frame the glaring red standby lights, which
alone have the effect of a murderous creature about to ambush its prey.
We strongly suggest you check out the video below to see what we mean.
The turbine rims, which are set within respectable 21-inch rubbers,
are also a favorite compared to the nonsensical and boring designs we’ve
seen recently coming out of China. Not only are they decisively unique
in their flared and sporty design, they kind of remind of us of ninja
stars, which makes for all kinds of awesome.

Inside this beast lies a relatively economical 2.0-Litre
four-cylinder engine with exhaust gas turbocharging; which combined with
Mercedes’ heavily reliable dual-clutch 4MATIC auto transmission,
provides for optimum power and handling.
The interior of this bucket-style four seat coupe utilizes a
sports-style dash, with a highly-sculpted instrument panel that is
reminiscent of Chevy’s Camaro interface but with a touch more class and
sophistication. While we’re hesitant to praise the lime green accenting
in the production concept, we’re fairly confident additional choices
will be available if it makes it to the showroom floor. That being said,
we like the racy feeling of the cabin especially with the generous
glass ceiling overhead.
Our guess is that most experienced drivers would be more than
happy to take the CSC for a spin, and if our sources at Mercedes are
correct, we could potentially be seeing a production variant as soon as
2014.
