Mercedes-Benz seems to be in a desperate rush to cover any automotive niche still left untouched. Following the reveal of the new A-Class and B-Class, the year 2013 will see the arrival of the baby CLS - the CLC-Class. Design-wise, the compact 4-door coupe will be inspired by both the F 800 Style Research Car and its bigger brother in the portfolio. The C 117, as it's internally dubbed, is planned to reach USA nearing 2014, whereas the other regions will get the new model earlier, shortly after the official premiere. Based on the spectacular Mercedes Frontwheel Architecture (MFA) powertrain, the new CLC will adopt the entire technologycal package from the A- and B- classes, which means a good dose of efficient power, resolute dynamics and a high-grade safety concept.

This day's been very rich in spy photos: after we saw the A-Class, it's time to draw our attention to a future niche model: the CLC-Class (neither BLS nor CLA). Don't be confused, as the new car won't have anything in common with the awkward hatchback, already discontinued. Internally dubbed C 117, the CLC will be part of the forthcoming compact family of Mercedes-Benz, will be launched in 2013 and it could be generally seen as the little brother of the CLS. Although it may look a bit bloated due to the extensive camouflage, the beautiful car hidden underneath the black tape is likely to have a balanced, well-proportioned shape. Inspiration for the exterior and interior designs will come from the current CLS-Class and is expected to set high benchmarks in its class in terms of build quality, elegance and efficiency. Engines and technology will be borrowed from the new A-Class and B-Class, but we feel there's more to come: a top version motorized by a petrol/diesel burner with up to 250-300 hp and probably an AMG variant also.
