World premiere of the new R-Class |
Stuttgart, Mar 23, 2005
The third Mercedes world premiere of this year will take place
in New York this afternoon (4.20 pm CET) when the Stuttgart
based manufacturer lifts the wraps on the new R Class at the New
York International Auto Show.
The R Class takes the acknowledged strengths of established
vehicle categories, such as sporty Saloon, Estate, MPV and SUV,
and fuses them to create a new vehicle concept with a character
all of its own – the Grand Sports Tourer, a car that is all
about the three Ds: Dimensions, Design and Dynamism. The new R
Class is being launched first in North America, in autumn 2005;
deliveries to customers in Europe will commence at the beginning
of 2006.

The novel concept of the
Sports Tourer caters to the needs of modern minded people
looking for a car that offers tremendous versatility combined
with athletic performance. Quite apart from boasting ample
spaciousness, exemplary standards of safety and impeccable
comfort for up to six passengers, the new R Class also enthrals
with its beguiling styling, prestigious flair and its dynamism
out on the road.
Measuring 5157 millimetres from nose to tail, the body of the
new Mercedes Benz R Class is akin to a luxury saloon in size but
is considerably more spacious inside.
New York can boast a long and proud tradition of Mercedes world
premieres. It was at the International Auto Show in February
1954 that the Stuttgart-based brand unveiled its legendary SL "Gullwing"
and 190 SL sports roadster models. |
