This coupe does not seem as elegant as its predecessor, but then, stringent European norms imposed this heavy front end. The cabin remains very similar to that of the 407 saloon. Accommodation should appear to be asset for this coupe, which should offer the same superb handling and ride as the saloon. As for the engines, the petrol 2.2 160bhp, the 3.0 V6 210bhp and the 2.2 160bhp block may be available. Prices are not known yet but they will surely be competitive. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/photo0013ol1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"337\" alt=\"Photo0013ol\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.thesocialmedia.com\/petrol-head\/files\/2012\/07\/photo0013ol.jpg\" width=\"450\"  \/><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These recent spyshots reveal that the new 407 Coup\u00e9 is very close to its launch.
