Merc lets us take a peek at the gorgeous new S Class Coupé [gallery]

Mercedes-Benz S 500 4MATIC Coupé (C 217) 2013

Last year Mercedez-Benz introduced us to its brand new S-Class and while it’s packed to the hilt with cool tech, it only really makes sense if you’ve got a family or enjoy being driven around by a chap in a suit who goes by “James” whatever his actual name is.

That’s one reason the new S Class Coupé is so appealing. The other is that it looks absolutely flipping astonishing.

The two-door ultra Merc doesn’t just scream “you’ve arrived” it also says “and you’ve managed to do so without picking up a belly and a couple of kids along the way”. It manages to do so with the help of a 4.6l V8 biturbo engine. The S 500 Coupé apparently has a nominal output of 335 kW (455 hp) and its torque level peaks at 700 Nm.

Like its four-door sibling it features a slew of tech, including a two-part wide-screen format TFT display and a heads-up display unit which projects a virtual image, measuring around 21 x 7 centimetres, into the driver’s field of vision where it appears to float around two metres away above the bonnet.

The new S-Class Coupé will have its world première at the Geneva International Motor Show in March and is set to go on sale in the second half of 2014.
