Mercedes-Benz have unveiled a stunner of a new car in the S-Class Coupé, a fitting replacement for the exotic CL-class Coupé which bid adieu in the wake of the new model launch.
The new S-Class Coupé manages to tick the most evocative boxes in the sleek and sporty department while packing in all the luxury and technology for a car of its stature. The car will feature a lengthy list of standard equipment when it comes to comfort, safety and entertainment, including a SuperSport steering wheel, PreSafe brake with pedestrian detection, Distronic Plus with Steer Assist and Stop&Go Pilot, Adaptive HighBeam Assist Plus, NightView Assist Plus and Collision Prevention Assist Plus and on the audio front, a Burmester surround-sound system. Meanwhile, the options list will include Magic Body Control, as well as full-LED headlamps, each embedded with 47 Swarovski crystals, to deliver an aura like no other.
The S500 Coupé will be the first to debut, powered by the 4.7-litre twin-turbo V8 with 460 PS and 700 Nm of torque. The car will also mark the debut of the Curve Tilt Function, which lets the car lean into corners like a motorcycle, reducing lateral acceleration on the occupants. It measures 5,027mm long, 1,899mm wide and 1,411mm high, running a wheelbase of 2,945mm. The wheels on offer will be between 18 and 20 inches.
The S500 Coupé will be shown to the world at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next month.
