The first glimpses of the new Mercedes S-Class Coupe have recently been released and it is looking good. With notable differences from the previous S-Class Coupe the new designs gives the car more aggressive styling and performance. The New S-Class is to replace the CL, the same engine that is used in the coupe is to be used in the Saloon. With further improvements to the Magic Body Control suspension the car will scan the coming road for any bumps, potholes and changes in terrain and change the suspension accordingly. With this the S-Class will now lean into bends, giving the driver more stability when driving round corners allowing the driver to steer faster and with more control and comfort. All of this sounds a little bit over the top and then you find out that you can upgrade your lighting system on the car to the 'Intelligent Light System', which will add 47 Swarovski crystals into the headlamps giving the driver 'Crystal clear vision'. As said before the styling is more aggressive than the previous model with long swooping curves down the length of the body and a meatier front grille and bonnet. Initially the car will be released as a 449bhp V8 that will propel the car from 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds. The S-class will also come with a restricted top speed of 155mph. All of this does come at a price. With a starting figure of about £100k for the S500 and in the region of £120K for the S63AMG it isn't the cheapest car on the market but then again, which car our there tilts into corners, predicts the terrain and has crystal lights.
