The refreshed luxury coupe continues its road-testing programme hidden under thin layers of camouflage.
It may pass unnoticed, but it won't. Not for a car afficionado. We are talking about the facelift of Merc's flagship coupe, which, along with the aesthetical modifications, will also receive a new name, as part of the new badging strategy of the Stuttgart-based carmaker:the S-Klasse Coupe.
The 'somehow' new model will receive a new front air intake, slightly altered headlights with LED technology, LED daytime running lights integrated in the front bumper, and, last but not least, a new, sportier radiator grille with 2 chromed louvres.
The rear end will not be a complete surprise:in terms of appearance, the lights will mainly remain the same as those of the current CL, but they will most certainly feature LEDs. The old, round-shaped exhaust pipes will be replaced with fresh, rectangular ones.
Under the bonnet, the engines offered will remain the same as in the present. Note that the S-Klasse Coupe will also be offered in S 400 HYBRID version. It's practically needless to say that the forthcoming luxury coupe will borrow all the technologycal gimmicks from the S-Klasse Limousine.
Expect the new S-Klasse Coupe to be premierly displayed at the IAA Frankfurt 2009, with sales beginning towards the end of this year.
