That equates to CO2 emissions of 109 g/km. This sets the comfortable, safe and smooth-running luxury saloon apart not only from its direct competitors, but also from smaller vehicles with considerably less power. When it comes to efficiency, this differential is even greater – with CO2 emissions of 0.48 grams per hp, the E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID achieves an outstanding result.

The new E-Class Cabriolet – “four seasons, four passengers”
The new E-Class Cabriolet, which celebrates its European premiere in Ge-neva,  offers refined open-air driving fun from 5.4 l/100 km. “With the open-top four-seater, our successful E-Class family is complete,” said Dr. Joachim Schmidt, Head of Sales and Marketing Mercedes-Benz Cars. “The E-Class is very well  received on the market; the saloon is currently the world’s best-selling car in its segment. In Western Europe, it has achieved a market share of 31 per-cent, and in Germany, as much as 56 percent.”

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG – Official F1™ Safety Car
A further highlight of the 2010 Geneva Automobile Salon comes from the
motorsport sector. When the new Formula 1 season starts in Manama, Bah-rain (12 – 14 March 2010), it will do so with the most spectacular and high-est-performing Official F1™ Safety Car of all time. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, celebrating its launch on 27th March 2010, is responsible for ensuring maximum safety in Formula 1. The Gullwing takes over from the SL 63 AMG, which served as the Official F1™ Safety Car in 2008 and 2009.
