Check out this spy video from YT user fingerzdxb. It shows a couple of C-Class prototypes getting some testing action under the Dubai sun.
According to fingerzdxb, the temperature in that part of Dubai then was at 43 degrees Celsius, or 110 degrees Fahrenheit. That was quite a hot afternoon (3pm) at the Sheikh Zayed Road last July 2nd.
The vehicles in the video showed very little cladding, though the front and rear exteriors were still left bare. The video labels these as the 2014 C-Class, although we’ve already seen the 2014 CLA spy shots and the ones in the video are more consistent with the spy shots for the next-gen C-Class that could go on sale late 2014 or early 2015.
Details on the 2015 C-Class are still practically nonexistent, but rest assured that we’ll give you the info as soon as it’s available.
Mercedes-Benz featured prominently at the 2012 red dot design awards, with 3 Merc vehicles and the smart ebike being acknowledged for design quality.
The winners representing Mercedes-Benz were the B-Class, C-Class Coupe, and also the SLS AMG Roadster. In addition to those citations, the smart ebike was also commended and was able to cop the red dot: best of the best award for highest design quality. The Actros struck was also cited.
The red dot awards can be traced as far back as 1955, and now it is one of the largest design competitions in the world. The 2012 design awards involved 58 participating countries and over 1,800 designers and companies. The total was 4,515 entries in 19 categories.
