Not ones to be overly conservative with its styling, Mercedes has now launched what it is calling the ‘new generation’ of executive coupe design. This then is the new Mercedes Concept Style Coupe and, as the name might suggest, could well be the basis for the design of future sporty models to roll off the Stuttgart production line.

To make things more interesting, as well as the sharp angles and meaty looking facial expressions, the concept – which made a brief appearance at the Avante-Garde Diaries event in Los Angeles before making a full debut at the Beijing Motor Show – also houses a four-cylinder turbo-charged powerplant under its ripped bonnet. Good for 211hp too, apparently.
