2008 Mercedes C-class

Mercedes-Benz is one of the many luxury automakers on the market. They do what they can to create a car that will meet the specifications of the consumers that they cater to. This means that they must produce a car that has the right level of comfort and performance at the right price. One of their most successful models has always been the C-Class. In order to make sure that this trend continued engineers at Mercedes-Benz worked long hours to build a virtual prototype of the new 2008 C-Class. They used 2130 gigabytes of data and used computer simulations to test every detail of the new car.

The “spec book” was 360 pages long and covered the level of comfort that the new could offer. And this was just one out of 250 component spec books that was made. The engineers would then ‘drive’ the virtual car on the ‘road’ and ‘highways’ to see how it would perform. This saved them both time and money.Never before have we seen Mercedes take such care as to the type of model that they are producing. They took the time and practice to make sure that every detail was right and every thing was the way that it should be. In the end they created a car that consumers could enjoy and would want to trade in their old cars for.

To make sure that the car would be available for all consumers they produced the 2008 C-Class in two models; Sport and Luxury. Each of these models come with their own special trim levels, front end treatments, and suspension tuning. The car - which went on sale over the summer was available in two luxury models and one sport model.The C300 Luxury model was equipped with a 3.0 liter V6 engine that has the ability to push out 228 horsepower. It comes with your choice of all wheel or rear wheel drive. The C350 Luxury model is equipped with a larger 3.5 liter V6 engine that has the ability to push out 268 horsepower. The C300 Sport model is equipped with the same engine as the C350 Luxury and also has a short throw six-speed manual transmission. Both luxury models are equipped with the current seven speed automatic gearbox.Each of the C-Class models are equipped with adaptive damping referred to as Agility Control, new hydraulic shock system, and the new Adaptive Brake and Pre-Safe systems. The interior has also been remodeled and is very similar to their more high end models. The base price starts at $35,000 to $40,000.
