The mag"s shots show...
The mag"s shots show the topless version of the latest 911, but there"s more to them than meets the eye. Not only have we caught the canvas hood, but the mag"s picture of the black car reveals the optional hard-top which will be offered to buyers who want to keep that bit warmer in winter.
The E-Class is open...
The E-Class is open for business! These are the best shots yet of Mercedesò€™ new drop-top, shown with the roof stowed for the first time. But thatò€™s not all thatò€™s intriguing about these exclusive snaps ò€“ a retractable wind deflector can be clearly seen at the top of the windscreen ò€“ a first for a car of this type.
Similar to its main rival in the four-seater convertible class, the Audi A5 Cabriolet, a cloth roof has been favoured instead of a heavier and more expensive folding hard-top.
Based on the E-Class Coupe, the convertible shares the same sharply-creased bodywork and dramatic rear wheel arch, while we can expect the engine line-up to include the choice of a four or six-cylinder diesel engine as well as three petrol units topped by the Audi S5 Cabriolet-rivalling E500.
Our sources have revealed that the E-Class Convertible is set for a world debut at the Frankfurt show in September and goes on sale in the UK shortly afterwards. Prices should start from around Ò£35,000 - a premium of a few thousand pounds over the Coupe.
