The spirit of the Mercedes CLK is back with the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe, seen in these pics. The C-Class Coupe gallery shows off an expectedly elegant car, but doesn’t come with the full press kit and specifications as yet. The design is clearly in the category of good Mercedes coupé, and is definitely part of the C-Class sedan family, perhaps too much so.

The rear end is not as sloped as we would like and the doors are a little short for a two-door coupé model, but we wouldn’t say no to the C-Class Coupé all the same. It will be officially presented at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and will probably first arrive with two engine options: a 1.8-litre direct-injected turbo unit with 201 hp and 311 Nm (for the C250 model), and the C350 will likely have the 3.5-litre V6 unit with 304 hp and 370 Nm.

These first two models of the C-Class Coupé will have a seven-speed automatic transmission and rear wheel drive. 4Matic all-wheel drive has not been considered so far for the coupé, but we should get an AMG version and of course a series of turbodiesel models, starting with the four-cylinder, 2.1-litre unit with 204 hp and 500 Nm currently used on other C-Class and E-Class models.
