Replacing the CL-Class in Mercedes’ lineup, the S-Class Coupe will be a more stylish and evocative version of the S-Class sedan that recently bowed at a private event in Germany.
The S-Class Coupe will also eventually spawn a four-seat S-Class Cabriolet, which will complement the more sport-oriented SL-Class roadster at the top of Mercedes’ lineup. A new Porsche 911-rivaling sports car is also due from Mercedes soon.
The S-Class Coupe nameplate hasn’t been a part of Mercedes’ lineup since the mid-1990s, when the automaker introduced the CL-Class nameplate in an effort to differentiate the two models. However, as the market has gradually shifted away from ultra-premium coupes in most regions, Mercedes thinks that a tie-in with its vaunted sedan’s name will help spur an increase in sales.
Not much is known about the S-Class Coupe yet, but its powertrain choices should mostly mirror those of the sedan – at least in terms of gas-only variants. A hybrid and a diesel version of the S-Class Coupe are almost certainly out of the question for North America.
Stay tuned.<![CDATA[
