Spyshots: 2015 Mercedes S-Class Coupe Nurburgring Testing

Take one last hard look at the Mercedes CL-Class, because it's going to a better place. Its replacement is on its way, a brand new car spawned from a brand new idea for Mercedes. Rather than make a new CL, they've simplified the naming system will offer a two-door version of the S-Class intend.

As this is such a big change for Mercedes, the S-Coupe is expected to be delayed by at least another year, even though the S-Class sedan is already revealed.

This prototype is still heavily camouflaged, but we can tell the overall shape of the body is a bit more athletic than the CL, with a lower roof and rakish windows.

The same MRA platform used by the new S-Class is going to set the benchmark in the luxury coupe segment. Weight reduction, improved ride and handling are all on the table.

We expect the engine range to go a little lower than it did with the CL-Class by offering the new 400 model, which is powered by a new 3-liter twin-turbo V6. Other than that, expect the usual mix of big V8 and maybe even the V12 which is still offered in the ultimate SL and G-Class models.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
