OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE


Stuttgart, Germany, Apr 09, 2009

Exquisite like the original, and even easier to park: the new Mercedes E-Class is now also available in model form. As accurate miniatures in various scales and equipment versions, these models painstakingly created by well-known model-makers shorten the waiting time for the original. The models are available from Mercedes-Benz partners as part of the E-Class Launch Selection.


The choice of model E-Class cars is almost as wide as for the original W212 series, with three scales available (1:18, 1:43 and 1:87), the two equipment lines Avantgarde (only 1:18 and 1:43) and Elegance, and three original paint finishes per model. The largest miniatures on a 1:18 scale are from Minichamps and cost 59.90 Euro. The 1:43-scale models are made by Schuco, with a price of 27.90 Euro. Busch created the really mini minis to the H0 scale of 1:87, and these cost 15.90 Euro.

In addition to these model cars, Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH is also offering a range of fashionable clothing and accessories to mark the launch of the new medium class. Tastefully coordinated in cuprite brown, these items in the E-Class Launch Selection are also available from Mercedes-Benz partners. The range extends from polo shirts and various leather items to a tie-clip and a very special wristwatch.

For the first time, Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH is now presenting all eleven new selections in the Mercedes-Benz Collection in an attractively produced 224-page catalogue which is likewise available from Mercedes-Benz partners. It shows the sheer variety of the Mercedes-Benz Collection, from Lifestyle to Motorsports, from Trucker to SLR, and clearly illustrates the connecting links between the different product worlds: high standards in design, function and quality, and the fascination that is the Mercedes-Benz brand.
