    Three-layer soft top for four-season comfort

    Exquisitely crafted from three layers totalling nearly a full inch in thickness, the rich fabric power soft top of the E-Class Cabriolet is designed to provide a coupe-like level of silence in the cabin. In just 20 seconds, it stows away in the trunk, while preserving a generous 8.8 cu ft of cargo space.

    A glimmering presence, coming and going

    Advanced LED lighting makes your presence, and your actions, instantly apparent to others. Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps underscore the aggressively chiseled front end of the E-Class Cabriolets. At the rear, wide LED taillamps, brake lamps and turn signals wrap boldly into the muscular rear flanks.

  • Wind-shaped style

    Aerodynamically sculpted, dynamically styled

    With a drag coefficient as low as 0.29, the E-Class Cabriolets slip through the wind virtually unnoticed. Yet their dramatically detailed styling commands attention, from the arrow-shaped nose to its sculpted rear fenders. With the soft top stowed, a color-keyed cover with domed fairings behind each rear seat maintains its seamlessly flowing design and sleek proportions.

    Hand-fitted leather and hand-polished wood.

    True grand-touring convertibles, the E-Class Cabriolets extend their gracious refinement to all four passengers. Rich leather is exactingly double-stitched and fitted to each seat by hand. Burl Walnut or Black Ash wood trim is polished by hand and liberally applied throughout the cabin.

AIRSCARF - P1 Package

AIRSCARF
Extend your top-down driving enjoyment further into a cool evening or later into the season with the optional AIRSCARF neck-level heating system. Tilt-adjustable vents beneath each front head restraint deliver warmed airflow to your neck, head and shoulders, like a virtual scarf. With individual 3-stage temperature controls and airflow automatically adjusted to your driving speed, AIRSCARF means you don't have to put the top up just because the sun, or thermometer, has gone down.

All-season sound-dampening soft top

AIRCAP

2012-E-Class-E350-Cabriolet-053_MT.jpg
Standard on the 2012 E-Class Cabriolet, AIRCAP is an automatic virtual wind blocker. Utilizing a speed-sensitive airfoil that rises from the windshield header and an automatically height-adjusting see-through mesh screen between the rear head restraints, AIRCAP helps keep top-down driving quiet and draft-free even at highway speeds. And unlike conventional wind deflectors, the rear seats remain fully usable.

4.6L twin-turbo V-8

4.6L twin-turbo V-8 engine
A new 402-hp 4.6-liter V-8 combines numerous advances and twin turbos to deliver noticeably more low-end torque. New rapid-multispark ignition can fire up to four times per millisecond, while high-pressure Direct Injection microscopically tunes the fuel spray to reduce emissions, fuel consumption and noise. A lightweight diecast-alloy block, quicker and more widely variable valve timing, reduced friction, and clever "on-demand" ancillary components like the alternator further boost efficiency.

AGILITY CONTROL

Dynamic Handling suspension
Engineered specifically for performance driving, AGILITY CONTROL automatically adjusts the individual shock absorbers based on the road surface and the driver's current driving style. Valving inside each shock absorber automatically firms up during stronger body motions for sharper handling feedback and stability, and reduces the damping rates during gentler motions for a smoother, more composed ride.

3.5L V-6

2012-E-Class-E350-Cabriolet-001_MT.jpg
A new 302-hp 3.5-liter V-6 combines numerous advances to deliver more torque over a wider range of rpm. Its rapid-multispark ignition fires up to four times per millisecond, while new high-pressure Direct Injection microscopically tunes the fuel spray, reducing emissions, fuel consumption and noise. A lightweight diecast-alloy block, quicker and more widely variable valve timing, reduced friction, and clever "on-demand" ancillary components like the alternator further boost efficiency.

Dynamic Handling suspension

Dynamic Handling suspension
Engineered to meet the requirements of even more demanding drivers, the Dynamic Handling suspension alters the damping rates, accelerator response and shift points, all at the touch of a single button. The electronically controlled shock absorbers independently adjust for each wheel based on the current driving situation. A choice of Comfort and Sport settings lets you match the car's driving character to your mood.

LED Daytime Running Lamps

LED Daytime Running Lamps
Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps help increase the visibility of your vehicle to oncoming traffic by illuminating front lights whenever the car is switched on. With long life and low energy consumption, the light-emitting diode (LED) lamps also add a distinctive high-tech styling touch.

7-speed automatic transmission

7-speed automatic transmission
The industry's first 7-speed automatic has been made even smoother, more responsive and more efficient. A wide range of closely spaced gear ratios delivers the ideal response in virtually every driving situation, for relaxed cruising, quick acceleration, and thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency. Adaptive logic adjusts the shift points to match your driving style, while paddle shifters on the steering wheel let you enjoy manual-style control anytime you wish.

3-spoke steering wheel.

3-spoke multifunction steering wheel
For fingertip access to some of the vehicle functions you use most often, convenient buttons on the steering wheel let you control the audio volume and selection, send and end calls on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, and scroll through the features of the multifunction display in the instrument cluster. For maximum driving pleasure, the steering wheel features a grippy Premium leather-wrapped rim with raised thumbgrips at the ideal "10 and 2 o'clock" positions.

LED taillamps

LED taillamps
Not only brighter than traditional incandescent bulbs, LED technology also delivers quicker illumination of the brake lamps. By offering drivers behind you more time to react, their stopping distance may be reduced by several feet, which could make a critical difference in a panic stop.

hard-drive navigation - P1 Package

Navigation
Using GPS technology and an 80GB hard drive to store maps, points of interest, and Zagat® Survey ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf courses, this virtual copilot provides detailed driving directions with remarkable speed and a friendly voice. The COMAND system's large color-LCD screen also displays gas stations, ATMs and Mercedes-Benz dealerships along your route within the contiguous U.S., Canada and Oahu, Hawaii, with periodic updates available at your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.

Bluetooth audio streaming

Bluetooth audio streaming
Bluetooth audio streaming makes it even easier to enjoy your digital music player. It allows you to connect your Bluetooth-equipped iPod® or other MP3 player wirelessly to your vehicle's audio system for convenient, cable-free playback.
