2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet teased; likely to be launched in a month
KUALA LUMPUR: A Facebook teaser by Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has sent us into a tizzy. It shows the silhouette of a Cabriolet, a big one for that matter. This is obviously the S-Class Cabriolet. We first saw this car at the Frankfurt Auto Show 2017.
We hope that Mercedes-Benz brings in the S-Class coupe in the S560 form. In this guise, the 4.0-litre Bi-turbo V8 engine makes 470 PS of power and a massive torque of 700 Nm. There is a 9-speed automatic transmission that also gets paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. Performance, needless to say, is scintillating with 0-100 kmph coming up in just 5.4 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 250 kmph.
While the engine is a stonker, the car is nonetheless a looker too. In this facelifted form, there are new LED headlights as well as OLED taillights, the plethora of fresh bumpers at both ends, new alloy wheel options, and dual tailpipes with chrome tips. The cabin too sees a host of improvements with new upholstery options, restyled steering wheel, and driver assist technologies.
There is also the possibility that there will be a AMG version coming in. This however, will be available without an AWD option as right hand drive markets are known to not get 4MATIC. The same 4.0-litre twin turbo petrol has been massaged to make 612 PS and 900 Nm of torque. There is also the bigger V12 engine with a 6.0-litre motor that makes 630 PS of power and a monumental 1,000 NM of torque. We are already salivating at the thought.
