Video Streaming: 2012 Mercedes-Benz Type C-Class Coupe
We've already had an in-depth look at the new 2012 C-Class Coupe, but Mercedes-Benz has published the first official video of the two-door model before its official debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. You can hit the jump to watch the clip for yourself.

The subject of many spy shots and leaked photos, the new C-Class Coupe has finally been officially revealed by the factory ahead of its official debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. There, the new Benz coupe will arrive with two engine options: The Mercedes-Benz C250 coupe gets the 1.8-liter direct-injected turbo four with 201 horsepower, while the C350 coupe is equipped with the 304-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6. Both are mated exclusively to Mercedes' 7-speed automatic transmission, which drives the rear wheels. 4Matic all-wheel drive will not be offered on the C-Class coupe. (The AMG version of the coupe is tipped to come along in another month at the New York Auto Show.)

In Europe, the Stuttgart-based automaker's Audi A5 Coupe rival will come with a choice of up to of five direct-injection engines including 1.8-litre and 3.5-litre petrols ranging in power from 156 to 306HP, and two 2.1-liter diesels delivering from 171HP and 204HP. Buyers in the United States will have to make do with two gasoline engine choices, 1.8-liter unit with 201HP and a 3.5-liter V6 with 302HP.
