The new four seater convertible from the Mercedes-Benz stable does full justice to the hype surrounding its arrival. Armed with a set of premium features, the new 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet provides a luxurious and well-sheltered interior. Armed with one-inch thick canvas top with good sealing capabilities and a solid chassis, the convertible presents a whole set of unique qualities, including the new feature called Aircap.

The Aircap is essentially a motorized airfoil that works from the windshield header in association with a power-actuated rear wind blocker that rises with the rear headrests to reduce in-cabin air turbulence.

Apart from the Aircap technology, the car provides an improved version of its Airscarf in-seat neck vents, along with seat warmers and a new HVAC system. The car was launched on the Spanish island of Majorca, where officials assured that the car is a four-seasons convertible for four passengers.

The car has rectilinear headlamps and H-E-double-hockey-stick LED running lamps, which looks well on the rather rakish profile of the car. The rear tail lamps look a bit too generic, though.

The car is powered with a 5.5-liter V8 with 382 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 391 pound-feet from 2,800-4,000 rpm. The seven-speed automatic ranks high in the safety precautions like seven airbags, pop-up rollbars and seatbelt pretensioners.
