Mercedes: new spy pictures of the S-Class Coupe

posted: Friday 26 June 2009 by Julia in: Mercedes Coupe

The Mercedes S-Class Coupe is once again the subject of spy photos. Having restyled the Mercedes CL, the makers will rename the luxury coupe, fitting it to the new guidelines for naming its models: less distinction and more identity among the different types of bodies in the same category.

Like what happened during the handover between the CLK and the E-Class Coupe, we’ll be watching a similar occurrence in the higher class. The new S-Class Coupe will be presented in 2010 and will be differentiated from the CL by a series of small aesthetic updates that go hand in hand with the very recent facelift the car has had.

The new daytime LED headlights, the newly-designed fenders, the slightly more pronounced grill, the new rear-view mirrors with turn signal lights, and the squared tail pipes call to mind the other very similar vehicles of the S-Class. But it is the anterior headlights, with their new profile, that give this elegant coupe a new look.

Under the hood we see the known engines: 5.5-liter V8 with 388 hp, the 5.5-liter V12 twin-turbocharged engine with 517 hp, as well as the AMG 6.2-liter V8 with 525 hp and the 6.0-liter V12 twin-turbocharged engine with 612 hp. Therefore the engine remains unchanged, due to the fundamental aspects of consumption and CO2 emissions, which are appreciably reduced.
