Generations
The new E-class coupe is accordingly the 4th generation of this model series. The E-class coupe has traditionally had a special status within the Mercedes family, and the latest incarnation certainly lives up to that glamorous heritage. It's predessors were all pure marvels of georgous design and advanced technology, combined with the trademark quality and solidity which the three pointed star is well reknown for. This is one of the reasons they are enjoying an exclusive classic status today.
C114 (1968 - 1976)
The predessors include the W114 'Stroke 8' C/CE coupe (1968-1976), this was the model that gave rise to this truly unique concept of an E-class coupe, which even until today no other maker has had a category of a pure mid-size coupe, on its unvieling in late 1968 it caused a stir amongst the general public and motoring journalists alike, in a word 'simply beautiful', is how people described this dream car. It was based on the E-class of the time - the W114/115 sedans, therefore it featured revolutionary engineering advances. A special highlight of this generation was the 2.5 litre fuel injected engine used in the 250 CE, it was the first Mercedes-benz with BOSCH electronic fuel injection, this modern injection process enabled the 250 CE with similar performance cahracteristics to that of the larger carburettored 280C. The top model was the 280 CE, which produced an astounding 185 hp from it 2.8 litre six-cylinder fuel injected engine.
C123 (1976 - 1986)
The E-coupe now in its second generation, was proving a success. The designers decided to give the second midsized coupe a particulalry distinctive character to the W123 Sedan, whilst it was still provided as the basis of the coupe. This meant the most advanced engineering of that era with unheard levels of quality and durability. The Coupe was given lightly distinguishing features, such as a lower front, less imposing more elegant rear light clusters with chrome strip among other features gave the whole car a more special character for discerning tastes. It was such an individualistic model, that occasionally it had to be ordered months before customer delvery. A special highlight of the C123, was the addition of the 300 CD, which featured a five-cylinder diesel engine from the sedan, and later fitted with a turbocharger for the ultimate diesel of the era, though this model was only available in the USA. The C123 has proved to the most revered among enthusiasts from the line of E-class coupes.
C124 (1986 - 1996)
This was the last E-coupe, when it gave way to the CLK in 1997, Mercedes would not return to this category until in 2009, with the introduction of the latest E-coupe. One glance at the C124, was enough to reassure that Mercedes designers opted for a more mature image compared to previous generation. The Coupe was based on the W124 E-class sedan, because it was an E-class it therefore, needless to say, boasted the highest levels of engineering achievement and supreme quality. The coupe was now given a more distinctive identity, with many unique design cues when compared to the sedan. At launch the 300 CE was the top model with a modern 3.0 litre six-cylider engine producing 190 hp. The whole range was facelifted in 1993, it was a major facelift, which therefore included many changes to the original model, including new headlamps and radiater grill, adopted from the sedan, the top model now was the E320. Also worthy of mention is the fact that the range was no longer named CE, it was now called E-class, just like the facelifted sedan of 1993. the last C124 E-coupe was produced in 1996.
