Mercedes S65 AMG Coupe (Used to be CL65 AMG)

An exciting news from Mercedes, S65 AMG Coupe (Used to be CL65 AMG) is revealed. Why important? There is one reason,  S65 AMG Coupe is the only S-Coupe that features the Road Surface Scan with Magic Body Control technology. This technology scans the road and adjusts the suspensions before you hit any pothole or speeding bumps. 
Unfortunately, Road Surface Scan with Magic Body Control cannot be ordered with 4MATIC (all-wheel drive) system due to its settlement at the front axle. Magic Body Control is an extension of ABC (Active Body Control) system that adjusts the pressure of hydraulic fluid inside the suspension to improve the ride. However, the 4MATIC does not provide enough room accommodate this technology for ages.
If you are excited with S65 AMG Coupe, Road Surface Scan is the only nice thing. The rest is the same, heavy V12 engine with a heavy transmission, lack of traction to deliver the power and unbalanced weight distribution.
Despite these problems, Road Surface Scan is a ground-breaking technology. And still rear-end of the S-Coupe still looks like a Renault Laguna Coupe!
Specs of S65 AMG Coupe: V12 6-lt twin turbo petrol engine with 630 HP and 1000 Nm of torque. Engine is coupled with AMG Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatic gearbox. The top speed is limited to 300 km/h for US and 250 km/h for EU. 4.1 seconds is necessary to reach 100 km/h.

The New Mercedes S63 Coupe 4MATIC AMG

Mercedes S63 Coupe AMG and 4MATIC models were revealed last week or week before or before that. Anyway, I was too lazy to cover this story. Because, I find it boring! Mercedes S63 Coupe AMG means literally, nothing to me. Another Mercedes with lots of hormones! However, it is an exciting topic and I need to cover it. (This car used to be called, CL 63 AMG 4MATIC.)

Anyway, S63 Coupe AMG is available with rear-wheel and all-wheel drive options. If you are planning to do burn-out or show off to your friends go buy a rear-wheel drive. If you are planning to utilise the all engine power, go buy an all-wheel drive 4MATIC model.

You will have the same toys and gadgets on this AMG but if you order with 4MATIC, you cannot have the Magic Body Control, because the front differential consumers too much space and active body control system cannot be placed with 4MATIC models and it has been for ages like that.

Mercedes S63 Coupe AMG is powered by a 5.5-lt bi-tubo V8 with 585 HP and 900 Nm of torque. The engine is coupled with AMGSPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed automatic gearbox. Rear-wheel drive needs only 4.3 seconds to reach 100 km/h and 4MATIC all-wheel drive needs only 3.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h. Both models have limited top speed of 250 km/h.

Official Photos of New Mercedes S-Class Coupe

New Mercedes S-Class Coupe is officially revealed and I can official declare that, it looks good. Finally, Mercedes did something that looks nice and does not recall its conservative design philosophy and this makes my previous post regarding to S-Class Coupe a bit dull.

The new Mercedes S-Class Coupe looks like a large version of the CLA. Especially the front end of the S-Class Coupe shares common design bits but this is not something really bad, instead makes the S-Class Coupe look younger.

As usual, Mercedes S-Class Coupe features the all new safety technology from the sedan version and also offers a new technology called Road Surface Scan. As I understand from the press release, the new S-Class Coupe can tilt like pendolino trains and increase handling. This technology is not new, Mercedes was working on tilting wheels and chassis more than one-decade.

And the bit is; 47 Swarovski crystals for each headlamps for an expressive appeal. How is the designer director of the Mercedes S-Class Coupe and what she or he was thinking whilst placing Swarovski crystals inside the headlamps. Sorry, but this is the most epic and unforgettable moments of the automotive industry. Even Kim Kardashian will not do something like this.

There are no details about the engines but never buy a S-Class Coupe except S500! And I cannot miss the Super Sport steering wheel. Honestly, it is funny! If you are planning to drive a car for long journeys and don’t like to suffer from the adverse effects of driving, the new S-Class Coupe will be the best vehicle. Literally, it can drive by itself and quite comfortable but don’t expect to experience laser precise handling like a Ferrari.

By the way, never order with green colour!

Official Photo of the Mercedes S-Class Coupe (CL-Class)

New Mercedes S-Class Coupe or previous known as CL Coupe official photos are leaked, actually only one photo. As I expected the new S-Class Coupe does not look something really different and preserves the conservative look of Mercedes. Personally, I didn’t fancy the new S-Class Coupe. It looks nice but nothing really really special however, this is how Mercedes designs. Mercedes always try to keep the conservative look. 
So does the new Mercedes S-Class Coupe worth to buy against Bentley Continental GT, Ferrari F12 or Aston Martin Vanquish? Actually yes and no! 
If you are looking for a GT car that offers the highest technology for safety and user interface, go for the Mercedes S-Class Coupe. Because, the S-Class Coupe offers the highest safety technology on automotive world, literally the car can drive by itself if the law permits. Safety technologies of the new S-Class Coupe are amazing but, it may drive a bit boring and does not offer something really different in terms of design and heritage. You will not have the aristocratic feeling of Bentley or the wildness and selfishness of a Ferrari. If you buy the new S-Class Coupe, you will be owning the latest gadget on wheels.
If you are interested, you may find the all new features of the S-Class on this post. Probably, these features will be available with the new S-Class Coupe.
Engines? Probably the S-Class Coupe will not offer any diesel engines and compensate the gap with hybrid models.

Mercedes New S-Class Coupe | S-Coupe | New CL Photos

Mercedes S-Class Coupe or new CL-Class or S Coupe photos were released but they are concept vehicle photos. It won’t be on production. Concept cars are like haute couture, you cannot have them in daily life or they are not designed to survive in tough conditions. Therefore, concept cars look way better than the production cars. 
Yes and I am saying the same for the S-Class Coupe concept. I don’t fancy Mercedes for last ten years due to their addiction to plastic interior parts, über conservative design and lack of passion. However, they create really beautiful concept cars like S-Class Coupe.
However, S-Class Coupe looks very similar to CLA from the front-end :(
I don’t think Mercedes will ever put this design into production, however it is good to have a look and scare the competitors. But will you buy a S-Class Coupe over a Bentley Continental GT or Ferrari FF?

New Mercedes S-Class Coupe | New CL Coupe?

Today Mercedes released a video of the upcoming S-Class Coupe concept. The S-Class Coupe is not something new, it is going to replace the CL-Class. As the new branding strategy of the Mercedes, they started to use Coupe word like E-Coupe, S-Coupe and leaving the CLK and CL brands.
New S-Coupe or S-Class Coupe will be based on the existing S-Class with two less doors. They might be a diesel engine option but I don’t think so. Because, Mercedes is trying to compete with Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari and Maserati with S-Class Coupe and these competitors do not offer diesel engines.
Anyway, the S-Class Coupe concept looks like beautiful but it is not production vehicle, so there will be minor and major changes. And also, S-Class Coupe will not be as boring as S-Class thanks to different customer audience but still a Mercedes, not a Bentley.
