Technical Highlights of the C-Class Sports Coupé

In mid-March 2001, a newcomer joined the 203-series model family: the new C-Class Sports Coupé. This new model is sportier and more compact in design than the 203 series Saloon. The new exterior styling required a full-scale redesign of all visible body parts including the doors, bonnet, bumper trim, headlamps, rear lights and windows. The substructure of the passenger cell and front end on the other hand was adopted unchanged from the Saloon.
