Mercedes says that a mixture of aluminum and steel has been used for the construction of the E-Class and the structures at the front and the floor have been made extra stiff. The company also says that the soft top has been derived from the S-Class Cabriolet and can be opened or retracted in 20 seconds when traveling at speeds up to nearly 50 kmph.
