Mercedes S Class Coupe: all about the jewel in the crown of Stuttgart
1. Design . Mercedes-Benz has used a stunning aesthetic. He thinks we’re talking about a convertible 5 meters in length, which will start on the 180,000 € in prices, at least. Mercedes-Benz has tried to convey the elegance of the new Mercedes S Class Coupe Cabrio this, careful details such as the inclination of the rear boladizo. Or making the front has more character than ever, and even resort to the common features in the rest of the range with models like increasingly older stored together (something that we have long been criticized brands like Audi).
Mercedes-Benz have also taken great care waistline, the framework that defines the boundary between the body and its techod and canvas, with specific chrome.

3. canvas roof . As I said earlier, the Mercedes S-Class Cabrio will enjoy a canvas roof. Obviously it will have an electric opening and closing system, which can operate up to speeds up to 60 km / h and takes 20 seconds or so, to complete the process of opening or closing. The roof has been designed with a three-layer sound insulation for maximum comfort.

For optimum cooling, this system features 12 sensors scattered around the cabin, including sensors able to adapt the appliance to the intensity of sunlight attack us, and humidity sensors to prevent misting.
7. Construction light . Speaking of lightweight construction in a convertible two tons may seem like a joke, but it is not. Its closest relative is the Mercedes S Class Coupe, but the brand forward and we only share about 60% of chassis and body components. In the Mercedes S Class Cabrio they have been used completely new elements aimed at improving structural rigidity without imposing a detriment to the weight. Elements like a completely made of aluminum and many other reinforcements in the same base material.
For example, the luggage compartment has been reinforced pillars of aluminum and magnesium.

This system is not specific to the Class S Cabrio, and in fact is common in convertibles, but it will be the first time that Mercedes-Benz uses a device rollover columns based on a pyrotechnic device.
