Following shortly after our international drive of the new S-Class Coupé, this luxury Coupé range is now available in South Africa.
Mercedes-Benz will offer three models in the range. It starts with the S500 Coupé priced at R1 921 619. As is the case with the S500 sedan, the Coupé is equipped with the 4,7-litre, biturbo V8 engine developing 335 kW/700 N.m. The claimed dash to 100 km/h is dealt with in 4,6 seconds.
Next in line is the S63 AMG Coupé at R2 511 105. Under the curvy bonnet is the 5,5-litre, biturbo V8 engine delivering 430 kW/ 900 N.m. Sufficient power to propel the car from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 4,2 seconds.
The top-of-the-range model comes in the form of the S65 AMG, priced from R3 087 014. The 6,0-litre, biturbo V12 with 463 kW/ 1 000 N.m manages to propel this beast in a claimed 4,1 seconds to 100 km/h.
