MERCEDES BENZ FASCINATION Concept 2008

The Mercedes Benz Facination Concept was unvealed at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. This unique vehicle, whose innovative and unconventional proportions interpret the appeal of a coupé in a new way, represents an exciting combination of sporty and elegant design with stylish practicality. Wood, aluminium and smoked glass give a particularly exclusive look and feel to the luggage compartment which incorporates a refrigerated compartment and a humidor as well as offering a large load space. These attributes embody the two objectives of Concept Fascination - to provide a high level of practical usability and to create a coupé which appeals to the heart with fast, thrilling lines.

Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG, commented: " This design study continues the long tradition of exciting coupés from Mercedes Benz in impressive style. With its emotionally appealing lines, Concept Fascination offers a completely new interpretation of the coupé. Its aesthetic, dynamic looks and painstakingly crafted details ensure that this study meets the highest design standards."

the technical elements of the Mercedes Fascination Concept are drawn from the new E-Class and include the new four cylinder diesel engine which features Blue TEC technology and develops 150 kW/ 204 hp from a displacement of 2,2 litres. Dr Thomas Weber, Daimler AG board member with responsibility for Research and Development at Mercedes Benz cars, said: "The show car not only demonstrates a fascinating design idiom, but - with our new, high performance and economical diesel drive system using Blue TEC technology- shows that Mercedes Benz vehicles will also set standards in the future in terms of sustainability as well as emotional appeal, driving pleasure and comfort."
