2011 E-Class Coupe and 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet
Since the invention of the car itself, the ongoing history of Mercedes‑Benz innovation has been inspired most deeply by the allure of the road ahead. For generations, 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupes and cabriolets have cultivated perhaps the most intimate connection between drivers, the highway below and the sky above. Warmly engaging and yet refreshingly liberating, the pillarless coupes and soft-top cabriolets of the 2011 E‑Class take to the road as passionately as they invigorate the enthusiast blood within their four passengers. Their performance may be crafted from logic and precision, but you’ll feel it exactly the way it begins every day for our engineers: pure, moving romance.

The peerless, panoramic 2011 Mercedes-Benz E‑-Class Coupes. A multifaceted vision of performance, luxury and innovation, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E‑Class Coupe is equally notable for what you won’t encounter within its sculpted body. Aggressive aerodynamics enables it to slip through the wind virtually unnoticed, with a drag coefficient as low as 0.28. Pillarless hardtop design creates a profile that’s uninterrupted by framework between the power side windows — an elaborate feat of engineering that’s unique in its class. From the embrace of its four individually contoured seats, the Mercedes-Benz E‑Class Coupe’s standard all‑glass Panorama sunroof offers a breathtaking view of the sun and stars. And from its gleaming white Daytime Running Lamps1 to its quick-‑reacting brake lamps and wraparound taillamps, LED illumination assures you a total absence of anonymity.
LED lighting. With longer life, lower energy use and faster illumination than conventional light bulbs, LED brake lamps, rear turn signals and taillamps enhance both safety and nighttime style. The optional Premium 2 Package adds LED front turn signals, along with adaptive Bi‑Xenon headlamps.
Pillarless design. Long a hallmark of Mercedes‑Benz coupes, the elimination of visible B‑pillars offers a sense of wide-‑open freedom even with the windows up. All four power windows are fully retractable, for a breezy driving sensation that’s simply unobtainable in ordinary coupes.
Panorama sunroof. A vast expanse of heat-‑reflecting tinted glass provides all four passengers in the E‑Class Coupe with a view of the sky. At the touch of a button, the front portion tilts open for ventilation or slides back for a breeze. A power sliding screen helps filter out sunlight.
2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Performance engineered to lead where other cars may someday go. Step on the accelerator in an E‑Class and an entire industry is propelled forward. Torque-rich V‑6 and V‑8 engines generate a seemingly endless rush of thrust while exercising innovative measures to conserve fuel and reduce emissions. Advanced handling systems continually respond to changes in the road with instantaneous fine-tuning of the suspension. Through it all, the first 7‑speed automatic transmission in its class adapts to your driving style with instant and constant enthusiasm.
V‑6 and V‑8 engines. 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 350 Coupes and Cabriolets feature a smooth, strong 268‑hp V‑6, while a formidable 382‑hp 5.5‑liter V‑8 motivates the 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 550 models. Both engines cleverly engage their alternators and power steering pumps only on demand, boosting efficiency.
7-speed automatic. Combining close-ratio shifting with a wider overall range, the E‑Class transmission responds seamlessly in either of two automatic modes or under manual-‑style Touch Shift control. Paddle shifters are standard on Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 550 models, and an Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 350 option. Advanced suspensions. The AGILITY CONTROL suspension on E 350 models recalibrates instantly to the road surface, for an ideal balance of crispness and comfort. On E 550 models, a sport-tuned Dynamic Handling suspension lets you modify the vehicle’s driving character at the touch of a button, altering the damping rates, accelerator response and shift points. Staggered-width alloy wheels. Both the 17" split 5‑spoke wheels on the E 350 models and the 18" 5‑spoke E 550 wheels are wider at the rear, to balance stronger tire grip under acceleration with excellent steering feedback. 18" AMG wheels are optional on all models.
Body structure. Mercedes-Benz E‑Class Coupe and Cabriolet body structures expertly manage both weight and impact forces by utilizing ultra-high-‑strength steel in critical areas. Cabriolets feature strategic reinforcements to help compensate for the absence of a fixed roof. Nine standard air bags. Pelvic air bags complement the front-‑seat side-impact air bags, and a driver’s knee air bag augments dual-stage front air bags. Side curtain air bags are provided at all four seating positions in Coupe models, and for the front seats in Cabriolets.
Brighter lighting. The optional Premium 2 Package adds adaptive Bi‑Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination, plus Adaptive Highbeam Assist, which continuously varies the headlamp range to maximize illumination without creating glare for other drivers. Pop-up roll bars. Mercedes-Benz E‑Class Cabriolets are outfitted with the latest generation of a feature first introduced by Mercedes‑Benz more than 20 years ago. High-strength steel roll bars, integrated with the rear head restraints, deploy automatically in 0.3 seconds if a rollover is detected.3 The rear head restraints also rise automatically as soon as the rear-‑seat passengers fasten their seat belts.
PRE-SAFE. During certain vehicle maneuvers, the exclusive PRE‑SAFE system can detect instability suggesting that a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front head restraints and passenger seat, and close the windows plus the Coupe’s sunroof, all in an effort to better prepare the occupants.
DISTRONIC PLUS. A Mercedes-Benz innovation that takes cruise control to new heights in convenience, this option adapts your set speed in response to traffic ahead, automatically slowing down until your path is clear again. DISTRONIC PLUS can even brake the car to a full halt if traffic stops, then resume automatically when it clears.
PRE-SAFE Brake. Included with DISTRONIC PLUS, radar-‑based sensors can detect an impending collision with a vehicle ahead of the E‑Class. PRE‑SAFE Brake then automatically applies up to 100% of the car’s braking force to help reduce the severity of impact.
ATTENTION ASSIST. Another Mercedes-Benz safety innovation, ATTENTION ASSIST continually monitors numerous driving behaviors, and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips.
