  • We take a glimpse at the new S-Class machines. Here’s what would happen at Geneva Show

    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. As always, high expectations meet the high ambitions. 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

    2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet

    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!

  • Gipsy King by Vilner: brand’s latest styling project is here!

    2016 Vilner Mercedes-AMG S 63 Gipsy KingArt Studio Vilner presents its latest creation: The Gipsy King. The super exclusive project that takes the S-Class even further in luxury and refinement. And it definitely catches the eye. Both with refinement and quality. So, let’s see what Vilner clients want to drive, shall we?

    First of all, the fine gentleman and Vilner client has chosen a rather powerful base model: a 585hp S-Class with all that Mercedes-Benz has to offer as additional equipment. However, even this is not enough for him and there is just one thing to do: as Vilner engineers and designers for some help with tuning and improvements.

    2016 Vilner Mercedes-AMG S 63 Gipsy King

    And as always, our friends and master of luxury has done what must be done: a masterpiece. There is fine black leather and Alcantara wrapping, white and contrasting stitching, Alcantara dominated central console are just some of the refinements in the cabin.

    SEE ALSO: Above and Beyond: Vilner’s unique 20th Anniversary project is finished. And it simply stunning.

    Further improvements include Alcantara and Nappa covers for the steering wheel, top and even the back of the rearview mirror. How cool is that? Other super-stylish improvements include black-covered metal buttons, black piano finish for the wooden components in the cabin. In fact, the idea of the customer was to create a small kingdom of black and leather. And as we see, the design team has done the job perfectly. As always.

    2016 Vilner Mercedes-AMG S 63 Gipsy King

    In fact, pretty normal for Vilner, the drivetrain system remains untouched and with the same settings as it left the Mercedes-Benz building plant. The original vehicle is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG that delivers a total of 585hp (436kW) and 900Nm of torque. This engine system is paired to a 7-speed automatic gearbox.

  • 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.

Almost all parts are covered in gold including air vents, speaker covers, door handles, air vents, emblems and the steering wheel-mounted buttons.

The seats, center console, both armrests as well as the door panels and the dashboard are covered in crocodile skin.

    Carlex Design has turned the interior of the new S-Class in a place that can shelter princes and princesses without any concerns.
