Stylistically self-assured presence, exclusive appointments, and refined sportiness - the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe combines the classic proportions of a large, sporty coupe with modern luxury and state-of-the art technology. All-New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe replaces the luxurious CL as the flagship luxury coupe of the brand. The coupe is also one of the many new models, which will span out from the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class range.

Striking design
The creative interaction of diverse design elements lends the all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe a superior, self-confident front. In the centre of the coupe’s front end features a three-dimensional diamond radiator grille, whose structure is defined by rectangular, chrome-plated elements. It incorporates the central Mercedes three-pointed star.  |

The full-LED headlamps, with their iconic ‘eyebrows’ as daytime running lamps, lend it an extremely self-assured and distinctive gaze. On the all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe the ‘eyebrows’ have been further refined with a semi-circular counter-curve. Standard LED headlamps add an aggressive character to the front of the coupe. The side profile is defined by the dome-shaped stretched roof line and the frameless doors.  |

An elegant 3D continuous chrome frame surrounds the glass areas that are uninterrupted by B-pillars. The flowing profile of the all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is characterised by typical rear-wheel-drive proportions, emphasised by the hallmark dropping line.  |
| Distinct rear lights |
The long bonnet with pronounced lines, high beltline, accentuated wheel arches, as well as the large wheels (18- to 20-inch) and the broad visual effect created by the rear reinforce the Coupe's refined design. The rear end with its surfaces, broad shoulders, and distinctive character lines rounds off the emotive overall appearance.  |

The designers have moved the license plate mounting to the lower part of the rear bumper. This allows the boot lid to be made especially sleek in this area. The three-pointed star is, so to say, free-standing and more prominent for greater effect. In addition it pivots outwards in order to locate the reversing camera in an elegantly functional manner. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe features a panoramic roof extending over two-thirds of the entire roof and appears almost 150 percent larger than the one on the outgoing CL model. MAGIC SKY CONTROL makes it possible to switch the transparency of the roof at the push of a button, from light to dark.

Refined performance
The two-door car is available with a 4663 cc V8 Biturbo engine. The all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe has a nominal output of 335 kW (455 hp), its torque level peaks at 700 Nm. The sporty motoring experience is significantly enhanced by the emotional sound produced by the exhaust system.  |

MAGIC BODY CONTROL, the first "suspension with eyes,” had its world première in the S-Class. With the curve tilting function the Coupe introduces a further world first for series-production cars: The curve tilting function makes the Coupe lean into bends in a manner similar to a motorcyclist or skier. The lateral acceleration acting upon occupants is reduced. The effect of this is that passengers can sit more comfortable and firmly during hard cornering.  |

Luxurious interior
Step inside the all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and your eyes are charmed by the overall design. The dashboard is divided into a very clear top-layer section with an expansive "wrap-around" effect extending to the doors, and an extremely low, sculptural "floating" lower section. This striking architecture was made possible by repositioning the airbag to a completely new low location. This concept enables the large, two-part wide-screen format TFT display to be placed in a prominent "hovering" position in front of this trim surface.

In addition, it is stylishly highlighted with ambience lighting. Under the display, the sporty elevated centre console extends to the coupe’s rear. All lids and armrests are lavishly covered in leather. The new "Super Sport" steering wheel features galvanised spokes. The use of the finest materials, surfaces, colour combinations, and seam designs contributes towards achieving a truly exclusive car interior. Air vents, switches, belt extender decoration, and trim elements are adorned in electroplated "Silver Shadow.” Both the front and the rear seats have a pronounced sporty character, the two rear seats are designed as individual seats.

The front-seat seatbelts are integrated in the rear side panelling without interrupting the waistline with windows open; seatbelt extenders make them easily accessible for the seat occupants. The optional head-up display brings important information directly into the driver's field of vision, presenting it on the windscreen to ensure less distraction from the traffic situation. The system informs about coupe’s speed, speed limits, navigation instructions and driving assistance system messages.

Verdict
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is a worthy successor to the CL. The coupe also marks the return of the ‘couped’ S-Class, which were last introduced back in the 1980’s. Before the debut of the all-new S-Class they adopted the CL name. The coupe offers opulent luxury, great performance and marks another great chapter in the ever-growing success of the redesigned S-Class range. However, the car is destined for the few buyers who have lots to spend when it comes to getting the best.
