Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet previewed in official render
Debuts at IAA
Mercedes-Benz has released a teaser image previewing its upcoming S-Class Cabriolet bound to show up at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show.

Billed as the company's first flagship-level luxury four-seater since 1971, the open-top S-Class (A217) will use an electrically retractable folding fabric roof featuring a multi-layer configuration and a large glass rear window. The roof has been designed in such a way as to mimic the looks of the S-Class Coupe even though the rear end will be longer and with a different shape necessary to store the roof when folded.

The engine lineup will be largely carried over from the coupe and there's also going to be S63 and S65 versions, but these are expected to come out early next year. Rear-wheel drive will be standard, but Mercedes-Benz will offer several engines with an optional 4MATIC all-wheel drive setup.

Since the S-Class Cabriolet will be introduced in mid-September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, chances are an online reveal will occur before the end of this month.

I'm sure you are ready to put your order in.

Nah lol, my next car will likely be the W213 E-Class to replace my IS250.

I sense the SL will be in trouble.

I sense the SL will be in trouble.

Actually yes!

If MB offers both an S-Class Coupe and a Cabrio, what's the point of the SL?

 

[lukeswiss]

I hope they make an AMG GT- cabrio.

 

[Merc1]

Come on guys, really? The SL is a 2 seater, the S Cabrio is not. It is the same reason why the E Cabrio, SL, SLK, and every other Benz convertible exists along with the SL. The upcoming C Cabrio won't eliminate the SLC.

That said, the SL is already in trouble. Clearly that is the only reason why there is no AMG GT Cabrio. Mercedes basically admitted it.

Even if there was a GT cab. The SL will still stand. A GT cabrio will be way too sporty for your average SL owner.
I guess you guys have also forgotten how the SL survived the SLR & SLS Cabs.

Well fair, both of those cars were more expensive than your average SL. Mercedes will need to make some interesting decisions on what the next-gen SL will be like.

[Mr. Mercedes]

GORGEOUS! But not enough rear legroom?

 

[Merc1]

OMG...!!!!!

[Yaz]

Yummy.

 

[Merc1]

I hope we don't have to wait much longer for the full reveal. This car is going to KILL it. If they follow this up with a stunning new E in January I'm coming back to a new Mercedes-Benz.

That would look right at home cruising along the Pacific Highway in Southern California or the French Riviera. Considering this is the boulevardier in the line-up, I wonder what changes will be made to the next-gen SL to further differentiate each other.

 

[alexschoen]

Now, hoffmeister_fan's reference to SoCal reminded me of it: Finally, after 8 years of wait, we got what we were hoping for when they presented the Ocean Drive concept back in 2007!

 

[ikaram]

Wow

 

[vios1]

A four door cabrio S-Coupe will solve the customer who need extra leg room at the back.

Are they TVs in the headrests !! This car is so decadent.

Looks like the air scarf system fans. Looking forward to the full reveal of this car.
