Mercedes to show S Class based Coupe at the Frankfurt Motor Show?

The 2014 Mercedes S Class-based Coupé could be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show which commences on September 10th. Even if the production version is not shown, MB Passion reports that a concept called the ‘Concept S-Class Coupe’ would be shown at the forthcoming exhibition.

The upcoming S Class coupe will replace the Mercedes CL Class when it goes on sale, which is predicted to be sometime in March 2014. The final production version would be unveiled shortly before March at the 2014 Detroit Motor Show.

Mercedes has been testing the S Class coupe for quite sometime now. Thanks to Steve Cannon, we were able to show you this spy shot of the test mule while it was put to paces in the Death Valley, USA. While the exterior design would differ from the S Class limousine, the interiors of the coupe are rumored to be identical to that of the sedan.

Apart from the S Class concept coupe, Mercedes will world premiere the GLA crossover, the S500 Plug-in Hybrid, the S63 AMG, the E Class with the 9-speed automatic transmission, an E Class running on natural gas and a Nürburgring 24 hour race winning SLS AMG GT3.

2014 Mercedes S Class Coupe design sketches revealed! Debuts at Frankfurt

Official design sketches of the 2014 Mercedes S Class Coupe have just found.Mercedes will be world debuting the luxury-liner at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show on September 10th.

The S Class coupe will be replacing the CL Class, which is based on the previous generation S Class platform. Based on the design sketches, we conclude that the coupe will not look anything like the S Class sedan: the front fascia is far more aggressive, the swooping roofline is more like a grand tourer rather than a luxury coupe, and the sporty rear has the scent of the SLS-AMG.

Inside, the coupe would accommodate four adults in a 2+2 layout. The central screen, dashboard and the aircon vents resemble the 2014 S Class and we would naturally assume that only wood, aluminium and metal were used to craft the interiors. The steering wheel, which sports a three-spoke layout, is different from the S Class’ two-spoke steering wheel.

The S Class Coupe would be initially powered by a six-cylinder and an eight-cylinder engine outputting 306bhp and 455bhp respectively. AMG variants would later follow (whether Mercedes would use the V8 Bi-Turbo and the V12 Bi-Turbo for the coupe is something we do not know yet) as will a plug-in hybrid version like the S500 Plug-in, which has also been announced for Frankfurt.

New Mercedes Benz S-Class Sold Out Even Prior Launch

MERCEDES BENZ INDIA seems to hit sweet pot after sweet pot.

After spectacular hit of the Merc A & B class which still command a waiting period are a huge hit and the B class has done a great feat by hitting a milestone of 1 million cars worldwide.

Now they have become unstoppables. [gun]

2014-s-class-reveal-live-02-opt.jpg

They have achieved another feather in their cap. The S Class is already sold out even before it's schedule launch in Jan '14. The product which has been launched worldwide has already won many accolades.

Merc had fallen to No 3 spot in India as it has been lazy in launching new and young oriented models in the past few years, just like TATA has done in India. Never mind it was quick to pull up and launched more jazzy and youth oriented models and hence managed to pull back its sheen and climbed instantly to No.1 spot puching Audi and BMW to No 2 & 3 spots respectively.[clap]

I always love the Merc before others in the luxury spot and wish them a grand success. Hope one day I will be their client.

[cheers]

Rushlane has posted that Mercedes Benz has announced the launch of new S-Class on 8th January 2014. But, even before the car is launched, the new S-Class is sold out for the first three months.

Mercedes Benz S class-sold-out
For us in India, as much as 125 units of the new S500 have been allotted for domestic consumption, which should fulfil demand for the first half of next year.

Mercedes increases S-class production to meet soaring demand

Here is more interesting news:

While the world’s best car goes on sale in India on the 8th of January 2014, Mercedes-Benz is struggling to keep up with the demand of its all new S-Class, a vehicle which makes others in the segment look completely pointless. Not to take away anything from BMW and Audi but the 7-Series and A8 just can’t compete with the fifth generation S-Class, period. Mercedes-Benz has taken a giant leap and pushed the boundaries of engineering with its flagship, yet again. This has directly resulted in demand exceeding supply by a comfortable margin, a rare occurrence in the high-end luxury car space.

Re: MERCEDES S-CLASS sold out even before launch!

I am guessing a friend of mine has placed an order,but is keeping it in suspense, usually these orders are taken in good faith cos of the customers previous history with the showroom.
And yes the S has leaped so much in development,but i am sure we wont be seeing all the features and we are most likely to get petrol model first and later the diesel.
I remember reading some old Overdrive magazines where S class would sell 6 a month,times have changed.
