World Premier Of The Mercedes-Benz C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Prime Edition

[st13phil]

Apologies if this is already posted elsewhere (did a search but didn't find anything): clicky linky

Interesting snippets:

• Cam drive at rear of engine when mounted longitudinally to provide opportunity for better pedestrian crash performance
• Fuel consumption of 5.2 litres / 100km (almost 55mpg) compared with 6.0 litres / 100km for current C220CDI with manual transmission. i.e. a 13% improvement
• 0-62mph in 7.0 seconds and 155mph top speed (current C220CDI 8.5 secs; C320CDI 6.9 secs )
• 138 g/km CO2 emissions & EU5 compliance (156 g/km & EU4 for current C220CDI)
• Only 5,000 units of this special edition

Hmmm... Wonder if/when they'll arrive in the UK? And I wonder what's to become of the C320CDI?
