Building on the successful design of the GLE Coupe, Mercedes just introduced the more compact GLC Coupe Concept at Auto Shanghai. With an eye on the BMW X4, Mercedes deftly blends coupe and SUV in one aggressive sheet metal package that Mercedes refers to as a “near production-standard study.” Clearly designed to highlight its exterior styling, the GLC comes complete with a twin-blade front grill, 21-inch wheels, and “power-domes” on the hood that emphasize MB’s credo of “Born to race on every ground.” Speaking of power, the GLC borrows the twin-turbo V-6 from their friends at AMG that puts out a very capable 367 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. We’ll keep our fingers crossed that this “study” makes its way to the showroom very soon.
