Mercedes unveils the all new S-Class Coupe ahead of Geneva reveal

The flowing profile of the S-Class Coupe embodies sensual purity in a modern way. The long bonnet with pronounced lines, the low greenhouse with high beltline, the accentuated wheel arches as well as the large wheels reinforce the S-Class Coupe's aspirations as a masterpiece of automotive refinement.

At the front, the full-LED headlamps with their iconic daytime running lamps lend an extremely self-assured and distinctive gaze.

In combination with the standard LED Intelligent Light System, unique headlamps with no less than 47 Swarovski crystals are available. 17 angular crystals form the flare-shaped daytime running lamps, with 30 round-shaped crystals making up the turn indicator lamps.

The 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.

At the rump, moving the license plate mounting to a lower location, allows the boot lid to be made especially sleek in this area. The Mercedes emblem pivots outwards in order to locate the reversing camera and the optional 360-degree camera in an elegantly functional manner.

The diffusor, painted in high-sheen black, meets in equal measure the requirements made by aerodynamics and by design and house the premium-quality tailpipes. The emotive sound of the exhaust system makes a decisive contribution to the sporty driving experience. The deeper sound can be heard as soon as the S-Class Coupe starts.

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 concept enables the large, two-part wide-screen format TFT display to be placed in a prominent 'hovering' position.

Like in the sedan counterpart, the new Coupe is available with numerous new assistance systems that make driving even more comfortable and safer including the optionally available MAGIC BODY CONTROL. The 'suspension with eyes' system also features a curve tilting function where the coupe leans into bends in a manner similar to a motorcyclist or skier.

Having already premiered on the internet, the new S-Class Coupe will formally debut at the upcoming Geneva International Motor Show with distribution to dealerships scheduled for the second half of 2014 - housing a 4,663cc V8 biturbo engine with 455bhp and 700Nm of torque available on demand.
