Mercedes S-Class Coupe review - pictures

The Mercedes S-Class is designed to be a seriously rapid, stylish coupe.

The sleek silhouette of the bodywork is based on a shortened version of the platform underpinning the S-Class limousine.

The interior is as stylish and luxurious as you'd expect.

The S-Class Coupe introduces Swarovski crystals in the lights - a world first.

This coupe is designed to rival the Bentley Continental GT.

The boot lid integrates a neat spoiler.

The Mercedes S-Class Coupe also introduces Curve Tilt function, which leans the car into bends to improve comfort.

The air suspension makes the S-Class Coupe ride beautifully.

The engines available are both V8's, and both hugely powerful.

The 7G-Tronic PLUS automatic transmission is smooth, but a nine-speed auto is coming to replace it.

The S-Class Coupe is handsome rather than beautiful.

The boot is a reasonable size.

Space in the rear is good for a coupe.
