This is the second time that a pre-production prototype of the S205 C-Class Estate was caught by spy photographers exiting the Daimler Research and Development Technology Center in Sindelfingen, Germany.
This time sporting a classic white color underneath all the body cladding, we're speculating that this development car is a BlueEfficiency Edition model mainly thanks to the somewhat unusual and aerodynamic design of the light-alloy wheels.

Considering how advanced the three-pointed star brand has become in aerodynamics, we're expecting the upcoming C-Class Estate to become the most aerodynamic estate/wagon on the planet.

Known in Germany as the “T-Model”, the C-Class Estate has historically shared its entire engine lineup with its sedan brother, so the S205 generation will most likely do the same.

This means that every engine, from the 1.6-liter four cylinder in both gasoline and diesel form to the four-liter twin-turbocharged V8 in the C 63 AMG model will find itself under the Estate/Wagon's hood as well.
