The new Mercedes S-Class Coupe, which replaces the CL as Mercedes’ top luxury coupe, weighs over 2 tons, most of which is due to all the technology features packed in it. This car has systems dealing with situations you didn’t know existed. It’s an overkill, this car, and it’s awesome!
The tech overload in the Mercedes S-Class Coupe means you are paying for gimmicky features that you don’t really need and that you have to carry a lot of unnecessary weight around. But it also means the car is at the top of its game.
In this video AutoExpress takes an S63 AMG Coupe for a spin, mainly to check out all the gadgets:
There is not much to talk about the way Mercedes S-Class Coupe drives, even in the hot S63 guise. The car is a big luxury coupe. It gets down the road with the elegance and majesty of a super yacht, and it’s utterly comfortable and quiet. The term ‘effortless performance’ was probably invented for this car. What it’s not is sporty and engaging, which is fair enough. It is not supposed to be like that.
