Hot! Mercedes-Benz, What's Next?

According to this S-Class coupe will be back with extreme design

Regarding this.

Is the W224 design frozen already? Like it exists somewhere but hidden?

Yeah that occurred several months ago now.

Wish someone could get Ray-Ban Meta glasses & risk it by showing us the W224 already.

Hopefully, the car is designed in a fresh new style

Hopefully it’s something that’ll look modern even in the 2040s

I suspect that a good many elements of the design will bear the Gorden Wagener signature.

If so im suspecting the W224 will have a body like this ‘Iconic Rote Sau’ but with a front end similar to ‘Vision iconic’ ?

I can only guess that only very subtle, isolated design nuances of these concepts may actually appear on the series-production W/V224.

Less Rote Sau and more Iconic hopefully. I doubt we will see too much of a departure from the current model. That is not the S Class style and, frankly, I like it. I do hope the S Class EV and the S Class ICE do not differ from one another like the C Class EV and the current C Class Ice do in the body proportions and measurements. And, I hope they bring back the S Coupe! Or, a long rumored but never materialized, a S Class Four-Dour Coupe? I doubt how many folks are left in the market for that kind of product, but one can always dream.

 

[Dopebouy]

Will the W206 Mopf present it’s 2 AMG models this year or next year?

 

[Merc1]

I would expect the C53 to be shown at the same time or a few months after. CLE/GLC/C/E 63 all come next year imo. The C and GLC 63 are going to pop out no where I’m betting. Shock and awe style.

Big change over the decades.

 

[Merc1]

The AMG GT is not a replacement for the S Coupe tho.

Big change over the decades.

"Reduction and Commingling" are a sign of the times. Once popular (hence lucrative) market segments rapidly diminishing in significance and a clear objective of reducing and thus streamlining fundamental model categories. Premium and luxury brands also offer explicit "individualization" options-provided that a customer is willing to pay the often exorbitant surcharge.

Also interesting is how this illustrates how "evolutionary" M-B's design paradigm can be. Save, of course, the outliers such as the first-gen EQ sedans.

Can’t believe they sacrificed all these masterpieces to fund the EQ cars, Lame.

Also…What ended up happening to the C63R?

The AMG GTS was basically a C63R. But better. I guess they didn't see the need for a model in that space.

Makes sense. Would’ve been nice to see a C63 that continues the W204 Black Series’s legacy though.
