Straying very little from the concept car it displayed in Frankfurt last fall, the two look almost identical. The rear end, side profile and front fascia seem more like an evolution on what the company displayed than the typical toned-down vehicles that often follow concept previews. In fact, the wheels seem like the biggest change from concept to reality.


It measures an overall 198 inches, or 8.5 shorter than the sedan. The wheelbase is also 9.4 inches shorter than the normal four-door model. The roof is almost three inches lower as well.


The cabin gets minor changes to the dashboard and the same touchpad Mercedes announced for the S-Class sedan in Detroit last month makes its way into the two-door variant. “Magic Sky Control” – the company’s auto-darkening glass roof – is part of the standard equipment list. The two-spoke steering wheel disappears in favor of a sportier-looking unit, but the cabin shares most of its design with its more statesmanly siblings.


You can expect to find all the same safety systems including autonomous braking and collision mitigation systems as in the other S-Class models. But the coupe also gets a revised version of Mercedes’ “Magic Body Control” that can tilt the car toward the inside of a curve to keep the car feeling level to its occupants.


A limited run of “Edition 1″ models will be offered initially, and Mercedes turned to Swarovsky for help in setting the cars apart. To someone buying one of those cars, it means both headlights including 47 crystals from the well-known brand.


Other highlights include two optional sound systems from Burmester, available 20-inch wheels and heated arm rests.


The model unveiled today is an S550 Coupe, which means it harbors a turbocharged 4.7-liter V8 making 449 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. That power is sent to all four wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission in all models.

Mercedes plans to show the car in Switzerland in March before it begins arriving at U.S. dealerships later this fall.

nice. rear reminds me of a VW CC tho.

 

Thanks for sharing! The car is hmm.. i think i need time to accept it especially the rear but the front looks nice. The interior however is just AWESOME!!!

 

+1 on the interior

 

Oh baby!

That looks stellar!

 

was just about to post these LoL

it looks absolutely astonishing from the front and the side. not sure about the rear feel like the taillights are a bit small for the size of the car and so are the tailpipes..

can't appreciate more towards the attention of details MB has given to this piece of engineering. these LED headlamps look absolutely stunning.

enough said, cant wait to see what AMG has for us in the near future

 

gorgeous!

dont like how they badge it in the middle tho

Here's a link to some concept car photos. Callmiro was right on target.

S63 Coupe.... THAT will be stellar !!

 

yep! was about to post the same thing. i prefer the current CL look.

 

My dream car...

 

Everything is amazing about this car besides the rear. I'm grossed out by it.

 

In BLACK

 

Headlights look like Liberace jewelry
Tail lights look like the VW CC
Front looks like a Volvo
Rear bumper and exhaust/diffuser look like the hunch back of Notre Dame
Wheels are like a 2006 BMW 6 Series

I think MB had its run from 2007-2014 and it ended this year. Time to move onto the Jaguar F Type R Coupe, Audi S8, Toyota Supra and Lexus ISF

 

what happens to CL?

 

That is the CL....now renamed S Class Coupe

 

^^^ I like it, but viewing the above photo, the front end looks a lot like the new CLA 45 AMG. Frankly, even the side profile resembles the CLA 45 AMG, sans the four doors...

I like it better than the old CL, it is intended to replace.

Cheers/B

 

comparo rears.

 

this car is like a girl with big ***** but no ***

 

SLS, CLA, new C all do.

 

Interior is very nice (as we'd all expect) -I really dont like the exterior at all!

 

But you can back dat *** up

 

stop defending her lol, she needs new underwear (aka tail lights)

 

Gorgeous car.

Inside and out. I don't even care if the rear is a bit of a punt. The rest of the car is so damn good.

 

I can't defend it all...I loved the rear of the last CL....
