Distinctive. Sensual. Exclusive. Or We
can say only one word for all : “ The Cabriolet”
The new Cabriolet is
the sixth variant of the current S-Class family
and the first open-top luxury four-seater from Mercedes-Benz since
1971. It offers a distinctive, sensual and exclusive design, the cutting-edge
technology of the S-Class and a comprehensive warmth and wind
protection concept which includes intelligent climate control for convertibles.
And it’s body engineers have achieved two essentially
contradictory aims: in terms of torsional stiffness, the S-Class Cabriolet even attains values on a par with
those of the S-ClassCoupé which was superseded last year, while at the
same time the bodyshell weight of the current closed sister model has been
maintained. With a Cd value of 0.29, aerodynamics world champion Mercedes-Benz sets
a new benchmark in this segment with the S-Class Cabriolet.
Heart of Cabriolet:
Now we r talking
about the heart of Cabriolet means Engine, The V8 engine of the S 500 Cabriolet has
an output of 335 kW (455 hp). The displacement stands at 4,663 cc and the
engine produces peak torque of
700 Newton metres from 1,800 rpm. In NEDC combined mode the Cabriolet gets by on 9.1-8.5 litres of premium-grade petrol per 100 km, with CO₂ emissions of 212-199 g/km. The innovative 9G-TRONIC 9-speed automatic transmission supports both a dynamic and a fuel-saving driving style. The Mercedes-AMGS 63 4MATIC Cabriolet offers a 5.5-litre V8 biturbo engine with an output of 430 kW (585 hp) and peak torque of 900 Newton metres, AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive with rear-biased torque split as standard and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds

Enhanced Design and climate comfort.
Mercedes-Benz lays claim to building the world’s most comfortable
convertible. When it comes to climate comfort, numerous features ensure that
this is indeed the case – the enhanced automatic wind protection system AIRCAP,
the AIRSCARF neck-level heating system, the heated armrests, the seat heating
also in the rear plus the intelligent climate control, which is premiered in
the new S-Class Cabriolet and which in future will provide for
ideal climate comfort coupled with maximum user-friendliness in all open-top
vehicles from Mercedes-Benz.
In contrast to
conventional systems, the climate is controlled fully automatically.
The rear end
underscores the impression of width with flat LED tail lights and muscular
shoulders. The closed soft top with glass window blends harmoniously into the
rear view. The soft top compartment lid is framed by a wide chrome trim
element. The rear bumper with diffusor-look lower section, two visible tailpipe
trims and a horizontal chrome trim element add a sporty finish. Inside,
the S-Class Cabriolet boasts a luxuriously sporty design
idiom and fine materials, conjuring up an exceptionally classy interior setting.
The soft top opens up to create an open-air lounge that
exudes a yacht-like atmosphere. The carefully matched choice of colours and
materials and the high-quality controls in real metal or in chrome look
underscore the vehicle's highly exclusive character.
S 500 Cabriolet:
Fuel consumption combined: 9.1-
8.5 l/100 km;
combined CO₂ emissions: 212-199 g/km.
Comfortable
with Safety.
Like the S-Class Saloon and Coupé, the new Cabriolet is
available with numerous new assistance systems that make driving even more
comfortable and safer. Intelligent Drive systems include PRE-SAFE Brake with
pedestrian detection, DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot,
Brake Assist BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist,
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus and Night View Assist Plus. In addition to a
distance and collision warning function in conjunction with Adaptive Brake
Assist, which offers collision protection from speeds as low as 7 km/h, the
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS system installed in even the standard vehicle
also features an additional function: when a danger of collision persists and
the driver fails to respond, the system is able to carry out self-governing
braking at speeds of up to more than 100 km/h, thereby reducing the severity of
collisions with slower or stopping vehicles. At speeds of up to around 50 km/h,
the system also brakes in response to stationary vehicles and is able to
prevent rear-end collisions at up to around 40 km/h.
The PRE-SAFE preventive occupant protection system has been
upgraded to PRE-SAFE PLUS. PRE-SAFE PLUS can recognise an imminent rear-end
collision and warn following traffic by flashing the rear hazard warning lights
at a high frequency. When a danger of collision persists, the system can “lock”
the brakes of the stationary vehicle prior to a rear-end collision and activate
the PRE-SAFE belt tensioners immediately
before impact. This action minimises the risk of whiplash injury by reducing
the forwards jolt caused by the impact and ensuring that the occupants are in
the best possible position.
On detecting an
impending danger of the vehicle rolling over, the airbag control unit sends a
corresponding signal to the standard-fit roll over protection system. This is
quickly extended behind the rear head restraints, helping to maintain a safe
passenger compartment. The roll bars are extended not by spring force, but –
for the first time in a Mercedes-Benz –
by pyrotechnical means, using a gas generator.
