I've seen the production E coupe, so they wouldn't be using a mule. The C Coupe is out, so no reason to use a mule. It'll be the new SL
 
Unusual that there's no camouflage.

I quite like the shape though.
 
C63 black series would use a cammo W205, next E class coupe already has spy shots. Only time they use mules are for a totally new model.

As per my OP, my money's on next SL which will be smaller than the current.
 
Whatever it is, it's rather lovely
 
Sl fixed head coupe? Where's the fun in that?

Tony.
 
I think people are getting the wrong end of the stick. That's the body from an S coupe, over the platform of a new model. It's not the production body [emoji23]

Correct...but the stiffness of a monocoque v. a cabrio makes it a strange mule.

Cabrio's are monocoque.

The stiffen floor pan for a cabrio would allow any bod ont he top, so chopped S-class would not need to be very strong in the roof area.

As said already the mule is probably (certainly) for the platform... not the body.
