Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe revealed with curve tilting function, headlights with Swarovski crystals

Debuts in Geneva next month

Mercedes-Benz has officially revealed the S-Class Coupe production version, following a leaked photo which surfaced the web a couple of days ago.

The CL-Class is being phased out as Mercedes-Benz unveiled today the S-Class Coupe, a stylish and sleek two-door coupe which will be publicly introduced next month at the Geneva Motor Show. The model's design combines a long hood with a low greenhouse and muscular wheel arches hosting rims in sizes ranging from 18 to 20 inches. The vehicle hosts a 2945mm wheelbase within an overall length of 5027mm, an 1899mm width and 1411mm height.

Step inside the premium cabin and you will immediately notice it's mostly carried over from the sedan but with a "Super Sport" steering wheel and the analog clock has been removed. In the back there are two individual seats while the interior can now be had in new saddle brown, Bengal red and porcelain hues. There's also an optional head-up full-color LED display projecting the virtual imagine with relevant details into the driver's field of vision to avoid distractions.

Previewed by the stunning Concept S-Class Coupe concept, upon launch it will be available as an S 500 Coupe model equipped with V8 4.7-liter engine delivering 455 HP (335 kW) and a maximum torque of 700 Nm (516 lb-ft). Other variations will follow, including an S63 AMG Coupe model packing a twin-turbo V8 5.5-liter outputting 593 HP (436 kW) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft).

With the S-Class Coupe, Mercedes-Benz is introducing an evolution of the MAGIC BODY CONTROL system now featuring a curve tilting function allowing the car to "lean into bends in a manner similar to a motorcyclist or skier." The function can be active as one of the three driving modes between 19 mph (30 km/h) and 119 mph (180 km/h) and has been designed "to produce a more pleasant motoring experience" by reducing the lateral acceleration felt by the passengers. Within the windscreen there is a stereo camera which detects corners and works together with a transverse acceleration sensor. The air suspension's hydraulic damper units modify the rate of firmness and crucial base point individually for each damper and can incline the body of the car by up to 2.5 degrees.

Another interesting feature is the availability of optional headlamps with 47 Swarovski crystals, with 17 angular ones forming the flare-shaped daytime running lamps while the other 30 are round and form the turn indicator lamps.

Mercedes-Benz has announced the 2014 S-Class Coupe will hit dealerships in the second half of the year.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
