Mercedes introduced a coupe derived from the S-Class

If you're looking for a German alternative to the aristocratic Bentley Continental GT , you've come to the right place at Mercedes . After the S-Class Coupé concept from the Frankfurt Motor Show comes its production form.

And the design and actually the dimensions do not differ much from the concept. 5027 mm long , 1899 mm wide and 1411 mm high Mercedes with a wheelbase of 2945 mm will thus offer narrow rear lights, an elegant silhouette or silver dots in the radiator grille. The standard also features wheels with a size of 18-20 inches or a panoramic roof with a glazed area of 1.32 m2. In the menu of additional elements, we can find front lights with 47 Swarovski crystals , 17 of which are in charge of daytime running lights, the other 30 can be found in the indicators.

In the interior, in contrast to the classic S-class sedan, we find a three-spoke sports steering wheel , the clock on the center panel is missing, and the touchpad is used to control the multimedia system. For an additional fee, you can order top Burmester audio and above all a color LED head-up display with a resolution of 480 x 240 pixels. In the back, look for two, rather emergency seats .

For the time being, only the turbocharged 4.7-liter eight-cylinder , in the S 500 Coupé version, will be used for the drive, with an output of 455 hp and a maximum torque of 700 Nm. Other engines , including the top AMG version , should also arrive gradually.

The coupe is also equipped with the Magic Body Control system, which consists of two cameras behind the windshield, which evaluate the situation in front of the vehicle and adjust the stiffness of the shock absorbers according to the road conditions for maximum driving comfort. However, in the new "esque Coupé" we can also find the shock absorber deflection function , which works between 30-180 km/h and, thanks to the evaluation of the cameras, can adjust the slope of each shock absorber by up to 2.5 degrees before each corner. This should contribute to even greater driving comfort than before.
