Mercedes Fascination concept: the new E-class's engine bay

Be warned – technical information about the Merc Fascination concept is scant at this stage. All Mercedes is saying is that this is based on the running gear from the future E-class Coupe.

We know it will be rear-wheel drive (what else?) and the concept car is powered by what will become one of the European stalwart engines of the new 2009 E-class: the 201bhp, 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel equipped with BlueTec and AdBlue to reduce soot and other emissions.

And what else do we know about the new new E-class?

We'll see the first teaser images of the next E late this year, ahead of a formal unveiling in January 2009.

What do you think of the Fascination? Is the new E-Class face to your liking, or uglier than a dog's dinner? Have your say below.
