PASSION IS WHAT YOU SEE
WHEN BEAUTY IS WHAT YOU FEEL.

It’s possible to rise to notoriety on looks alone. Conversely, success can be achieved solely on character — a virtue
otherwise known as inner beauty. And then there are the 2013 E -Class Coupes and Cabriolets. Your first gaze upon
their muscular lines, or into their finely crafted four- seat cabins, sparks an irresistible sense of attraction. But as
you grow more intimately engaged, it becomes clear that what cannot be seen is even more captivating. Your first
drive reveals that the performance legacy behind the Star in their grille continues unabated. The sweeping roofline
of the Coupes, unencumbered by a center pillar, seems to widen every horizon. In mere seconds, the soft - top
Cabriolets transform tautly drawn, neatly tailored fabric into an unbridled sense of freedom. And from behind the
wheel of either, every moment reasserts the promise — unwritten yet clearly declared — inherent in being an E -Class.
Which means they bring you driving innovations you might never have seen. And driving passion like you’ve never felt.

PRESENCE SOMETIMES COMES FROM WHAT’S ABSENT.
The pillarless hardtop design of an E - Class Coupe is more than a style statement. It’s a feat of structural engineering to create the only coupe in its class
with four retractable side windows that are uninterrupted by visible framework. On top of that, all four of its shapely seats offer a breathtaking view of the
sun and stars, courtesy of a power- operated all-glass Panorama roof. In true Mercedes - Benz fashion, the visual lightness is backed by vigorous strength —
enough to be named an IIHS Top Safety Pick1 in 2012. And with a drag coefficient as low as 0.27, the wind might not even notice its athletic physique, its LED
lighting or its newly standard 18" wheels. But for anyone with an eye for design and a love of the road, the E -Class Coupe is not to be missed.

E 350 Coupe. A 302- hp Direct Injection V - 6 and
paddle - shifted 7- speed automatic transmission
can deliver 60 mph in 6.1 seconds2 and 29 mpg
on the highway.
3 Available 4matic™ all- wheel drive4
adds to its confident performance in any season.
An innovative AGILITY CONTROL suspension and
staggered 18" wheels5 deliver crisp handling with
a silky ride. The optional Appearance Package adds
AMG wheels, perforated front brakes with Silver-
painted calipers, and a lowered sport suspension.
E 550 Coupe. A mighty 402 - hp twin - turbo V-8
and 7- speed automatic with paddle shifters rush
the E 550 to 60 mph in an incredible 4.9 seconds.2
Yet even with a 27- mpg highway estimate,3 its 18"
AMG twin 5- spoke wheels5 and driver - selectable
Dynamic Handling suspension reveal that its
performance qualifications are quite credible.

A convertible has always reflected a sense of unconstrained pleasure. But a Mercedes-Benz convertible has always conveyed something even more special. When you drive an
E -Class Cabriolet, you’ll feel freedoms you won’t experience in ordinary cars. You’ll find yourself enjoying the breeze, not beaten by it — courtesy of wind- taming innovations
that virtually eliminate drafts in the open cabin, even for your rear- seat passengers. You won’t get caught dressed out of season — thanks to front seats with standard heating,
and options that can offer cooling ventilation on muggy days, or even a virtual scarf on cool evenings. Rough roads and tight corners pose no threat to your composure — not
with the E -Class Cabriolet’s rigid body, 18" wheels and nimble AGILITY CONTROL suspension. When summer sun turns to winter’s wrath, there’s no need to worry that you’re
unprepared. The triple -layer power soft top emerges from beneath its sculpted cover in just 20 seconds, ensconcing you in a haven of quiet comfort. And with its impeccable
tailoring, generous glass area and seamless style, should you be concerned that an E 350 or E 550 Cabriolet will be any less dashing with its top raised? Not a chance.
FREEDOM IS THE BENEFIT OF LEAVING NOTHING TO CHANCE.

E 350 Cabriolet. A refreshingly responsive 302-hp Direct Injection
V-6 is invigorated by a 7- speed automatic transmission with sporty
paddle shifters. The spirited handling of its road - sensing AGILITY
CONTROL suspension is enhanced by the standard 18" wheels.5 And
while it can sprint to 60 mph in just 6.3 seconds,2 it can also return
up to 28 highway mpg.3 The optional Appearance Package elevates
its poise and panache with a set of 18" AMG wheels, upgraded front
brakes with Silver-painted calipers, and sport suspension tuning.
E 550 Cabriolet. A torrent of torque flows from the 402-hp Direct
Injection twin-turbo V-8. A paddle-shifted 7-speed automatic and
Dynamic Handling suspension to create one of the most energetic
Mercedes -Benz cabriolets yet: 0–60 mph in 5.0 seconds.2 And at
25 highway mpg,3 it’s one of the most efficient as well. Virtually all
of the performance trimmings are fitted as standard — including the
18" AMG twin 5 - spoke alloy wheels,5 perforated front brake discs
and Silver calipers that are optional on its V-6 stablemate.

The many rewards of the E -Class Coupes and Cabriolets derive from a natural talent for bringing
opposing forces into harmonious balance. Their openly sporty cabins are a case in point. Airy and
bright, they inspire an easygoing sense of contentment, even as they envelop their occupants
in a virtual cocoon of safety advancements. The four individually contoured seats help create a
feeling of personal space for each passenger — and yet the standard glass Panorama roof of the
Coupes and power soft top of the Cabriolets let everyone share the sky. Hand-fitted leather and
hand-polished wood reflect a heritage of craftsmanship that’s generations deep. At the same
time, state-of -the-art multimedia systems deliver tomorrow’s technology today — from wireless
music streaming, to the many ways the new Mercedes -Benz mbrace2™ system integrates the
convenience of the Internet into your car.6 The coupes and cabriolets of the Three -Pointed Star
have a long history of bringing innovation, style and luxury not just into harmony but into focus.
Perhaps that explains why the world looks so much more appealing from inside an E - Class.
The E-Class Coupe cabin. Sporty luxury for four is the
defining character of the E 350 and E 550 Coupes. The
standard heated front seats are contoured for cruising
comfort and cornering support. And the pair of individual
rear seats continue the dual theme, with racing- inspired
integrated head restraints and an elegant, wood-trimmed
console between them. Above them all, the Panorama roof
includes a power front section that tilts up for ventilation
or slides open for a class -exclusive open-air experience.
The E-Class Cabriolet cabin. The soft top of the E 350 and
E 550 Cabriolets is nearly an inch thick, for quiet comfort
year- round. Touch a button and it vanishes into the trunk,
leaving 8.8 cu ft of luggage space. The exclusive AIRCAP
system virtually eliminates drafts, with a wind deflector that
rises above the windshield and a see-through power screen
between the rear head restraints. And optional AIRSCARF
lets you keep the top down in cooler weather, by providing
warmed air from vents within each front head restraint.
A MORE OPEN POINT OF VIEW
CAN PUT EVERYTHING IN PERSPECTIVE.

In their quest for greater performance, Mercedes - Benz engineers let almost nothing get
in the way. Advanced Direct Injection V- 6 and twin-turbo V- 8 engines operate with such
precision that they can fire their spark plugs up to four times in a single millisecond — to
create a torrent of power and torque with only a trickle of emissions. A refined 7- speed
automatic transmission continually adjusts to your driving style — instantly responding
to a flick of its paddle shifters, yet cruising more efficiently when you’re taking it easy.
Innovative AGILITY CONTROL reads the road every time a wheel moves up or down, and
selects the suspension settings that optimize taut control with a refined ride in no time
flat. Adaptive brakes take note if you quickly lift your foot off the gas, and set up their
pads for more immediate response — before you even hit the brake pedal. And 4matic™
all- wheel drive, now available on the E 350 Coupe, takes on any season, or any corner.
In every move, with each maneuver, and across every mile, the performance elements
of the E - Class Coupes and Cabriolets are a seamless system of rapid response. So you
can zig through turns, zag through traffic, and zip out of town — all with zero delay.
More from less. Innovative technology generates
more torque from less fuel, with fewer emissions.
Both the 302-hp V-6 of the E 350 models and the
402-hp twin-turbo E 550 V-8 feature high-pressure
Direct Injection, a lightweight diecast - alloy block,
widely variable valve timing, and “only- on - demand”
ancillary components such as the alternator. They
all team up to make a more powerful impression on
the pavement, with a gentler imprint on the planet.
Closer yet wider. The smooth 7- speed automatic
offers a wider range of gears with smaller steps in
between, for quick response with relaxed efficiency.
Paddle shifters provide fingertip manual control.
All for one. Optional on the E 350 Coupe, 4matic
all - wheel drive makes the best use of all four wheels
based on the grip at each wheel.4 Lightweight and
nimble, it inspires handling confidence year -round.
