Additionally, heavy camouflage is present across the entire exterior including the extended rear side windows. <\/p>\n<p>Compared to the current E-Class, we know that the new model will utilise the same shared MRA platform as the new C-Class. This new platform is not only lighter than the one currently used by the E-Class, but it is also more rigid thanks to its utilisation of aluminium in its construction.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview\" id=\"ngg-gallery-16364-130407\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t<!-- Thumbnails -->\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<div id=\"ngg-image-237573\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\"  >\r\n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/gallery-mercedes-maybach-e-class-spied\/mercedes-e-class-maybach-001.jpg\" title=\"Spy-Shots of Cars -
