Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article or section contains information about a concept automobile. It is likely to contain information of a speculative nature, though such must be attributed to relevant sources. Concept cars, by definition, rarely become production models, and any given specifications may change significantly as development progresses.

The Mercedes-Benz CLE-Class is a vehicle originally rumoured to be released in 2005. However, there are as yet no official announcements about the production or existence of such a car.

In 2003, rumours emerged of a new DaimlerChrysler AG Mercedes-Benz four-door coupé, which at that time was seen as an adventurous new concept. The rumour speculated that this car would be based on the C-Class, with a tentative release date of 2005. Autocar magazine dubbed it "Merc's Secret Jag Fighter" in their March 2003 edition.

The Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class coupé was introduced with four doors in Autumn, 2004, based in its E-Class saloon. This release further added to the rumour that Mercedes-Benz would release a CLE-Class car, based on its C-Class vehicle.

The vehicle has been rumoured to have suicide doors, and to be available in a range of engine types.
