S-Class (W222/C217/A217) [Official] The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupé (C217)

[Monster]

I am not sure what it is, but I am seeing more and more S coupe and convertible around. Perhaps owners are realising how special their car is enjoying their car more than ever.

Still as stunning as ever. Biggest regret not getting one at the time.

 

[Shellshock]

so its official that Mercedes will make another S class coupe?

Is it "official" ?

That would really surprise me. But maybe a very limited production, exorbitantly expensive "Mythos" 2 door verhicle. Perhaps something on the foundation of the AMG.EA electric architecture.

Just musing here, of course.

There are some test mules that look very much like a chopped W223.

Its not official, but there's speculation and strong evidence.

Lets hope some form of W223 Coupe eventuates.

Even if it's a low volume product, Mercedes need a big 2+2 cruiser. They're as iconic to the brand as the S class.

I can tell you, that at least in Switzerland they’re not using it as a dailydriver anymore.

It became a weekend toy.

Gen Z will think this is an ai render or concept car but it’s a 10 year old merc.

Yes, this is the ultimate masterpiece by our Slovenian Robert Lešnik, who is also an honorary member of our Mercedes-Benz Club.
A timeless design—personally, I consider it the most beautiful modern Mercedes-Benz.
It’s simply stunning, and nowadays you can find one starting at €40,000 and up, which is an excellent price for such an exclusive and beautiful car. I’m even considering buying a used one myself.

I would go for the 500, not the 560, because Dr. Storp (the father of the C217 and all other S-Class generations) said that, in his opinion, the pre-facelift 500 engine is the best choice. It offers nearly the same sound as the 63, but in a more refined way, the chasis is more comfortable and the 4.7-liter engine is significantly better than the 4.0-liter in the 560.
And when the man who literally created this car says so, then it must be true (from 2:45 to 3:35).

If you spot me the cash, I'll go out and buy one right now lol.

I dream about owning this car one day.

@mr.Mister
I had the opportunity to test both engines. The 500 with 4matic is the perfect choice.

Unfortunately this combination wasn’t available with the convertible.

As a RWD, traction is an issue, he’s right about the suspension, the AMG is much stiffer than the normal S-Class.
The 4.7 isn’t significantly better than the 4L, but it’s a different animal. The 4.7L M278 drives like a classic Mercedes Benz V8, lot’s of torque at low rpm, the 4L is a classic AMG engine, big turbo lag but it loves to rev.
I prefer the M177 63 because of the 4matic, it’s still not very harsh over bumps, although you feel the road.

I also prefer the convertible, it feels special.

It’s interesting that people have no ideal such a car ever existed, they know it’s a Mercedes Benz, but the question is which one.

For me personally it’s one of the best cars ever made.

I'd skip the M278 every day of the week just to avoid possible bore scoring in the cylinders. Give me that M176/M177.

 

[Design FIRST]

I've always preferred this...

From 2015 it’s not an issue.
The M157 on the other hand, has still this problem.

The German engineering price to pay out of a warranty though:

God, I want one of these so badly...

Just sensational. The coupe facelift is extremely rare, made for only 1.5 years. This S65 AMG V12 facelift with full options is just......wow

Turn on auto translate, it's worth a watch for the fans!

C217/A217 is as a Mopf for me personally peak Mercedes Benz, but I prefer the 63 4m to the 65 because of 4matic.

I don't, the S65 is a drifting maniac.

I love auto translate. It's brilliant for watching videos on cars that don't have recent or much content in English. Sure the translation isn't perfect but I have found most videos to be watchable.

 

[Swissbob]

If you drive this car, the last thing you think about is to drift it.

It’s a powerful cruiser, you glide along, ride the torque wave.

For spiritual driving it’s way too heavy.

I test drove the 500, even this had issues with the traction, the 63 however pulls like a train.

It’s a perfect car for the autobahn.
