The Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is a pretty exclusive car in itself, and that's because you have to reach a certain level (or own a large number of cars) even to begin to think about a vehicle that's larger than most sedans out there, and yet only has two doors.
The German manufacturer describes the S-Class Coupe as combining "the classic proportions of a Gran Turismo with modern luxury and state-of-the-art technology." Looking at the largest two-door vehicle in the Mercedes-Benz range both inside and out, it's hard to argue with any of these two statements.
For those after true exclusivity, there's always the option of a Mercedes-AMG S65 Coupe, but that will strip you of around a quarter million dollars. For those looking for something less sporty and a little more down-to-earth, Mercedes-Benz is now offering the special "Night Edition" version.
By "now," we mean April 2017 for Europe and August 2017 for the North American market, with the order book opening on January 9, 2017. Those interested will have a choice between three different powertrains ranging from 367 to 455 hp with rear- or four-wheel-drive.
The "Night Edition" is available as an S 400 4MATIC Coupe in Europe, an S 500(550) Coupe, and an S 500(550) 4MATIC Coupe. A lot of high-gloss black elements will adorn the exterior of these vehicles, with the shiny dark surface covering the mirror housings and the inserts in the side sills, as well as the single louver crossing the distinctive radiator grille.
Rounding off the aggressive look are the AMG-styled front and rear aprons together with the 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels. The paintwork you see in the pictures is called selenite gray and, even at this level, is an option.
The same discreet approach was used inside the cabin where the choice between black/black or optionally crystal gray/black, saddle brown/black or Bengal red/black nappa leather will give the car's wealthy clients the mother of all first-world problems.
Prices have not been disclosed yet, but with so many elements coming from the designo manufaktur range, expect them to be pretty steep. However, the "Night Edition" sounds like it has the kind of understated opulence you would expect from a very expensive Mercedes-Benz.
