Last time we saw a spy shot of the new S-Class coupe, it was coming at us. But like many thins in life, we’re not ready to like something until we see the rear end. The S-Class Coupe will feature redesigned bumpers, new grille and LED headlights, and also the taillights will be replaced with LED units
While call this car the new “S-Class coupe” its really an update to the CL-Class. Mercedes is simplifying its naming structure (that’s why the CLK is being replace by the E-Class coupe). So fans of the CL cars won’t miss much in the “new” S-Class coupe.
Because you want to look like a pimp (in the fur coat and “give me my money” way, not the cool high schooler way), but Fab Design’s Maybach 57 is a out of your price range. Carlsson is offering to use everything it has in its arsenal to “upgrade” your Mercedes S-Class.

Mercedes is working on an update to the S-Class, and where the sedan goes, the its CL-Class sibling will follow. Only this time its rumored that Mercedes may drop the CL name its been using for over a decade in favor of calling the cars "S-Class coupes".
The spy shot is of the AMG version, and will likely share many of the upgrades expected on the S-Class sedan. This includes a new front bumper treatment, new side mirrors, LED daylights, quad exhaust pipes and cross-drilled brakes.
We know Mercedes is working on a mild touch-up to the S-Class. Here’s the latest spy shot, this time of a hot-rod-with-etiquette AMG version. Although the S-Class isn’t currently showing its age, BMW has its new 7-Series, so Mercedes doesn’t want the sun to settle on its flagship car.
The engine lineup isn’t expected to change, but the design is supposed to take cues from the Ocean Drive concept. This S63 AMG should arrive with new bumpers similar to SL65 Black Series, new side mirrors, LED daylights, quad exhaust pipes and cross-driller brakes.
All of this should be confirmed by September when the car will be shown at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
We have high expectations when we get behind the wheel of a car that costs $100,000. If a sedan costs as much as a house, or at least a good down payment, then it has to be a cut above. In fact, if a sedan costs four or five times more than a regular sedan shouldn’t we expect it to be at least four or five times greater in every way?
At this price point we expect no compromises. We want to be pampered in luxury while not losing any feel of the road. We want to look smart arriving at social occasions, but not be so flashy that we get nervous parking on the street. Mercedes has specialized in this type of car for over fifty years. Our expectations are high.
