The C-Class Coupé will be available in the Kingdom of Bahrain as C 250 BlueEfficieny and C 350 BlueEfficiency engine versions. A 457hp 6.3-litre C 63 AMG Coupé V8 engine version is also offered, with the option to be boosted to 487 hp with the AMG Performance package.

The launch of the new SLK Roadster marks the third generation of one of the most exciting and successful sports cars ever built, designed to take driving pleasure and open-air enjoyment to a new level. It blends light-footed sportiness with stylish comfort, a striking sports-car design with total suitability for everyday use, and top performance with exemplary ecology.
“The SLK proudly introduced the Kingdom of Bahrain to its world-first panoramic vario-roof with Magic Sky Control, which switches to light or dark at the touch of a button. Three new direct injection engine powered SLK models will be available in the region. Four-cylinder engines include the 184 hp SLK 200 BlueEfficieny and 204 hp SLK 250 BlueEfficiency, and the 306 hp V6 engine in the SLK 350,” Al Haddad Motors in a statement said.
“2011 is a momentous year for Mercedes-Benz. 125 years since the invention of the automobile by our founding fathers Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler, we are still creating cutting edge luxury vehicles with ground-breaking designs. But this year is different. With these new models, this is the year that Mercedes-Benz stops being the car your Dad drove, and becomes the car that you drive,” Ma’n Al-Hamawi, General Manager of Al Haddad Motors, said.
“Mercedes-Benz cars, and especially our coupés, have be-come like the stars of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s social scene. They’re confident, beautiful, desirable, fashionable, ambitious, young and successful, whilst always remembering our core values of safety, quality, reliability, comfort and efficiency. There’s definitely no missing the glint of the three pointed star either,” he added.
“Customers across the Middle East and the globe have rewarded us for our courage in launching a completely new vehicle concept onto the market,” said Al-Hamawi.
“And with its citing design and refined sportiness, the new edition of the CLS also benefits from the fact that we are a whole generation ahead of the competition with our four-door Coupé.”
The GCC specification CLS 350 will come with an exterior sport package as standard, featuring chromed twin-pipe exhaust system with rectangular tailpipe rims, 5-spoke 18-inch light-alloy wheels with a 19-inch option, rear bumper with matt black painted cover, and sporty suspension set-up.
