    2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe Mercedes-Benz showcases its latest and greatest models at the Geneva Motor Show: the new S-Class Coupe and S-Class Cabriolet machines.

And trying to defend its place as one of the most popular and still most luxurious machines, Mercedes-Benz team has given everything he has in order to deliver us refinement and premium feel.

    2019 model year would be a special one for Mercedes-Benz. Or, at least, this is team’s goal. Both machines come under the motto “Exclusive Edition” and deliver extended list of features. Just like the predecessor models, these new editions include contemporary gadgets, revised drivetrain system and numerous new goodies that would please both fans and critics.

    What we know so far

    So, let’s check out what should be revealed at the Geneva Show, shall we? First of all, these two are named “Exclusive Editions” and there is a reason for this: S-Class Cabriolet and Coupe feature even stuff that is not applied in many premium Mercedes-Benz machines. For example, the new LED Intelligent Light System with Swarovski crystals. And the super-cool “Exclusive Edition” lettering on the cup holder cover. Neat. And of course, these are just some small details that are not that big deal. Stick with us for reviewing the real deal!

Driver and passengers will be sitting comfortably in Nappa-covered seats, while other interior details will be covered bot in DINAMICA microfiber and more Nappa leather.

  • Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet Finally Revealed!

    Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet Front ViewMercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet is finally revealed! At least in pictures. It will have an official premiere at the Frankfurt International Motor Show this September. Elegantly and sporty, the new cabrio is actually the first open-top variant of the S-Class since 1971 and the sixth generation of the S-Class family.

    Next to its exclusive design and luxurious surfaces throughout the interior, the new S-Class also features cutting-edge technology like the comprehensive warmth and wind protection concept that features intelligent climate control for convertibles.

    Engine Range

    The V8 engine driving the S500 Cabrio produces 455 hp (335 kW) and peak torque of 700 Nm (517 lb-ft) of torque. The innovative 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission supports both a dynamic and a fuel-saving driving style.

    If you happen to be at the show you will be also pleased to see the Mercedes‑AMG variant of the S63 4MATIC Cabriolet. It will mesmerize you with its 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine and no less than 585 horsepower (430 kW) and peak torque of 900 Nm (665 lb-ft).

    There is more to that, ant it is the AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive with rear-biased torque split which is featured as a standard. And have I mentioned that the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h happens in 3.9 seconds. Well, that’s a pretty good number for a convertible, isn’t it?

    The S-Class Cabriolet is also extremely rigid due to the utilization of some innovative solutions like the luggage compartment bulkhead made of aluminium and magnesium as well as the aluminium rear floor. What is more, behind the rear head restraints there is a standard-fit roll-over protection system that includes pyrotechnic initiation of the actuators. The roll bars themselves are moved into position by a gas generator.

    Why Climate Comfort is Important?

    Mercedes-Benz has told us recently that has aims of building the most comfortable convertible in the world. So, this surely has to do with the climate comfort, too. First, the car includes an improved automatic wind protection system called AIRCAP. There is also AIRSCARF neck-level heating system, heated armrests and seat heating in the rear plus the intelligent climate control. They all contribute for the significantly enhanced comfort.

    The climate is of course controlled entirely automatically. But what does this mean? First of all, the driver does not need to select a mode for closed or open top, and secondly they do not have to save a temperature setting for the specific driving conditions.

    Well, we can’t wait to see it live in Frankfurt. How about you? And don’t forget to check out the huge gallery below!

  • Mercedes-Benz Announces New S-Class Cabriolet. To be Revealed in Frankfurt

    2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet Rear View Plus Interior ViewMercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet is going to be one of the main stars at Mercedes’ stand at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The open-top car is going to be revealed in its newest form. In addition, by revealing the picture above, the German brand is creating a strong anticipation. It is clearly visible that the cabin of the cabrio is luxurious but has also kept the classic appeal of the first S-Class Cabriolet.

    By the way, the first ever open-top S-Class was built through a 10-year long period: from the period 1961 to 1971. With its unmistakable and stylish design, high-quality materials and exclusive luxurious appearance inside and out, it made a furor among Mercedes fans.

    The latest S-Class cabrio is built around the same characteristics, even though 44 years have already passed. What is more, with this car Mercedes promises to create the most comfortable cabriolet in the world.

    Mercedes didn’t say much about the new vehicle they are going to introduce. The only information revealed is about the climate comfort. It will be improved through various means: automatic wind protection system AIRCAP, AIRSCARF neck-level heating system, heated armrests, seat heating in the rear and the intelligent fully automatic climate control.

    A Touch of History

    1961 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet Front View

    Through this ten-year production period Mercedes-Benz offered five different models in these model series: the 220 SE, 250 SE, 300 SE (W 112), 280 SE and the eight-cylinder 280 SE 3.5. There are exactly 7013 units of these five cabriolets manufactured.

    So this basically means that these cabrios are one of the most sought-after classic cars nowadays. An interesting fact is that in its estimation a 280 SE 3.5 from 1971, in condition 2 today has a value of around $290,000 USD. Ten years ago this price was estimated $115,000 USD. But if you have this model and have kept it in perfect condition, this means that you can auction it for up to $429,000USD. Such car was sold last August by RM Auctions for this amount of money.

    Another example is the last six-cylinder 280 SE model, which was produced back in 1969. In an excellent condition this model could be sold for at least $75,000USD, while ten years ago the pricing was $45,000USD. Early 220 SE models are estimated around $84,000 USD.

    Anyway, we are impatiently looking for the reveal of the latest S-Class Cabriolet, aren’t we?

  • Beautiful Drawing From Mercedes Team: S-Class Cabriolet Comes Our Way!

    2015 Mercedes S-Class Cabriolet - Rear Angle ViewMercedes-Benz has just released an image, that sets the stage for the Frankfurt Motor Show, which will take place next month. What I am talking about is a teaser drawing for the upcoming S-Class Cabriolet vehicle that will be unveiled at the festival.

    The S-class, brand’s flagship models since 1971, will now feature a special electric folding roof with numerous layers and configurations and it will remind the shape of S-Class Coupe, but at the same time it will be a bit larger, so the roof has its own place, when folded. As we can see from the picture, the vehicle contains all these Mercedes details and components, that make it one of the most distinctive and desirable vehicles today. But we also see that slight change at the back of the vehicle. It would be interesting to see the final result.

    The lineup will be geared with engines, known from the S63 and the S65 models, along with rear-wheel-drive system. But don’t worry. The luxury vehicle will also be offered with special 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system upgrade. As always, Mercedes team thinks for all the customers and their needs. It is also expected that the S-Class Cabriolet will deliver numerous more features, so it will satisfy every customer.

    What will happen next month at the festival we cannot say for sure, but we can at least expect high quality vehicle, that will become a honorable member of the S-class family.
