Nice but too overdone for me. Ruins the elegance of the S-Class IMO

Seems a nicely equipped S550 these days with options runs around $120-25K. Nice amount of torque on this V8. Hope the 5LS comes out guns blazing

Default New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet with Seating for Four Spied









The last time Mercedes offered a flagship convertible with seating for four passengers, it was with the W111 and W112 series models more than four decades ago. If you're a fan of big open-top Benzes, you'll be pleased to know that the new S-Class Coupe will give birth to a new Cabriolet edition.

Our man with the long lens seized one of the prototypes for the new S-Class Cabriolet in Germany wearing a heavy disguise with a hard plastic cover on its head to conceal the canvas hood.

This luxurious four-seater model will be an S-Class Coupe in everything but its retractable soft top, and will eventually be offered with a twin-turbocharged V8 delivering 449hp (455PS) and a twin-turbo V12 with 523hp (530PS). Sportier AMG versions with the same number of cylinders are possible, but have not yet been confirmed.

When it enters the automotive scene sometime next year, the new S-Class Cabriolet will offer Mercedes a direct rival to the Bentley Continental GT Convertible.

Default Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe receives AMG Performance Studio goodies









Night and carbon packages offered

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe is now available with a number of enhancements developed within the AMG Performance Studio.

Those who aren't completely satisfied with the stock S63 AMG Coupe can reach deeper into their pockets and select some optional goodies available through the AMG Performance Studio. On the list are several styles of 20-inch forged alloy wheels, an AMG ceramic braking system and an exterior carbon fiber package encompassing mirror housings, front wing, side skirts and the upper part of the rear apron.

Just like on the new C-Class, Mercedes-Benz is offering a Night Package which brings a glossy black look for the side skirts, mirror caps, rear apron, exhaust pipes, front wing and front splitter.

At an additional cost, clients can select an AMG Driver's Package raising the top speed to 186 mph (300 km/h), red brake calipers, AMG Performance steering covered in black Nappa leather & microfiber DINAMICA, along with a carbon engine cover and door sills with white illuminated "AMG" lettering.
