At the same time the mostaerodynamic variant of the Coupés achieves a new worldbest in terms of drag coefficient: with a Cd-figure of just0.24, this model is the world's most aerodynamically effi-cient series-production car. The model programme includestwo new 4-cylinder engines, which consume up to 17% lessfuel whilst offering a significant increase in performanceand torque. The new E-Class Coupé's standard-fit AGILITY CONTROL suspension adjusts automatically to the currentdriving situation. It combines driving enjoyment and excel-lent handling with the maximum comfort.
