Swiss agency Robu Aktiengesellschaft has registered the design of two Mercedes S-Class Coupes with the European Union Mental Property Workplace.
When Olla Kallenius took the helm at Mercedes, he instantly set about streamlining the vary and determined Mercedes had too many coupes. So the C-Class Coupe and E-Class Coupe have been changed by a single mannequin known as the CLE, and the CLS and S-Class Coupe disappeared with no successor.
Surprisingly, nonetheless, the Mercedes S-Class Coupe is making a comeback because of a Swiss firm, Robu Aktiengesellschaft, which has registered the design of two Mercedes S-Class Coupe fashions, one beneath AMG model and the opposite beneath Maybach model, with the European Union Mental Property Workplace.
Curiously, the design has been patented by a agency that’s supposedly unrelated to Mercedes. However, it’s odd {that a} agency that has no reference to Mercedes would register a design derived from the Mercedes S-Class.
Mercedes ditched the S-Class Coupe as a consequence of low gross sales and to channel its growth funds into the brand new EQS/EQS SUV luxurious electrical vary. However the careers of those two fashions are on a downward slope regardless of Mercedes attempting to spice up gross sales by providing many costly choice packages free of charge.
Within the new period of SUVs and coupe SUVs, the probabilities of a standard coupe are low. That’s why a potential Mercedes S-Class Coupe would solely make sense within the new Mythos vary of very costly limited-edition fashions, which debuted with the brand new AMG Pure Velocity.
The design registered by the Swiss agency exhibits two fashions: an AMG and a Maybach with a break up window.
The Swiss agency’s patented design proves that there shall be a brand new S-Class Coupe constructed by Mercedes or a 3rd occasion. A future S-Class Coupe based mostly on the present S-Class W223 S-Class and produced in a restricted sequence could possibly be prohibitively costly.
The present Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Efficiency limousine with the brand new V8-powered PHEV system prices 210,029 euros in Europe ($187,350 within the US), and the Maybach S 680, the one Mercedes with a V12 beneath the hood, begins at 238,488 euros in Europe ($241,650 within the US).
Since coupes are at all times costlier, anticipate the S-Class Coupe to be much more costly.
