Alongside the sporty S-Class Coupe and the individual sedans from Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Maybach, the German car maker has launched the new convertible, which is the sixth variant of the globally successful S-Class. The new convertible is the first open-top luxury four-seater from Mercedes-Benz since 1971. It builds on the tradition of the 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet. With its multi-layer soft top, top-level technology from the S-Class and a sophisticated climate comfort concept, it sets the new benchmark for convertibles in the luxury sector. With the top up, it is the quietest convertible in the world. And with a cd figure of 0.29, it is also the aerodynamic benchmark in the segment.
The Mercedes-Benz S 500 Cabriolet is driven by a 455bhp, 4.6-litre V8 biturbo engine and it also gets 900Nm of torque. It allows the all-wheel drive variant to accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 3.9 seconds before hitting an electronically-limited top speed of 250 kmph.
