The S 500 Coup\u00e9 has a nominal output of 335 kW (455 hp), its torque level peaks at 700 Nm. The sporty motoring experience is significantly enhanced by the emotional sound produced by the exhaust system.<\/p>\n<p>MAGIC BODY CONTROL, the first &#8220;suspension with eyes&#8221;, had its world premi\u00e8re in the S-Class. With the curve tilting function the Coup\u00e9 introduces a further world first for series-production cars: The Coup\u00e9 leans into bends in a manner similar to a motorcyclist or skier. The lateral acceleration acting upon occupants is reduced in a way akin to when driving in a steep curve, and passengers sit more firmly. On country roads in particular, the new curve tilting function enhances motoring enjoyment and comfort.<br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-b879dp-c98d080151c554bd061cae5534d80006\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-b879dp-c98d080151c554bd061cae5534d80006{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-b879dp-c98d080151c554bd061cae5534d80006 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-b879dp-c98d080151c554bd061cae5534d80006 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-b879dp-c98d080151c554bd061cae5534d80006 av-special-heading-h2  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_heading '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Safety<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>Like the S-Class Saloon, the new Coup\u00e9 is available with numerous new assistance systems that make driving even more comfortable and safer. The &#8220;Intelligent Drive&#8221; systems include, among other things the PRE-SAFE\u00ae brake with pedestrian detection, DISTRONIC PLUS with Steer Assist and Stop&amp;Go Pilot, BAS PLUS with junction assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive High-beam Assist Plus and Night View Assist Plus. COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS features an additional function apart from the adaptive brake assistant, which provides collision protection from a speed of 7 km\/h: if there remains a danger of collision and the driver fails to respond, the system can carry out an autonomous braking manoeuvre at speeds of up to 105 km\/h, thereby reducing the severity of collisions with slower or stopping vehicles. The system also brakes in response to stationary vehicles at a speed of up to 50 km\/h, and is able to prevent rear-end collisions at up to 40 km\/h.<br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-9vvxn1-a7ab4f38307ffa1f95243f5270715697\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-9vvxn1-a7ab4f38307ffa1f95243f5270715697{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-9vvxn1-a7ab4f38307ffa1f95243f5270715697 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-9vvxn1-a7ab4f38307ffa1f95243f5270715697 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-9vvxn1-a7ab4f38307ffa1f95243f5270715697 av-special-heading-h2  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_one_half '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Exterior<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n<p>The view from the side is marked by the dropping line in keeping with the emotional character of the vehicle. It underscores the brand-typical proportions like a signature. The lines are deliberately reduced to the basics. This creates a sensual, timeless purity.<br \/>\nThe creative interaction of diverse design elements lends the S-Class Coup\u00e9 a superior, self-confident front: in the centre of the vehicle front end is the further-evolved three-dimensional diamond radiator grille, whose structure is defined by rectangular, chrome-plated elements. It incorporates the central Mercedes three-pointed star and one louvre.<\/p>\n<p>The full-LED headlamps with their iconic eyebrows as daytime running lamps lend it an extremely self-assured and distinctive gaze. On the S-Class Coup\u00e9 the eyebrows have been further refined with a semi-circular counter-curve. In combination with the standard LED Intelligent Light System, unique headlamps with no less than 47 Swarovski crystals are available. 17 angular crystals form the flare-shaped daytime running lamps, with 30 round-shaped crystals making up the turn indicator lamps.<\/p>\n<p>The side profile is defined by the dome-shaped stretched roof line and the frameless doors. An elegant 3D continuous chrome frame surrounds the glass areas that are uninterrupted by B-pillars. This underscores the Mercedes-typical coup\u00e9 look.<br \/>\nA muscle above the rear axle extending from the side wall generates a sense of lightness and dynamic spirit even at a standstill. The positively arched surfaces and lines of the side walls flow into the rear end with a dramatic tapered effect.<\/p>\n<p>The rear end with its surfaces, broad shoulders and distinctive character lines rounds off the emotive overall appearance. Moving the license plate mounting to the lower part of the rear bumper is a particularly striking modification. It allows the boot lid to be made especially sleek in this area. The three-pointed star is, so to say, free-standing and can thus be made more prominent for greater effect. In addition it pivots outwards in order to locate the reversing camera and the optional 360\u00b0 camera in an elegantly functional manner.<\/p>\n<div  class='flex_column av-7um47x-6b162e14669e8d2e73d64cfbfddf8583 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ir0ml-39545624e789258ae1d1731144567cb0\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-ir0ml-39545624e789258ae1d1731144567cb0{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-ir0ml-39545624e789258ae1d1731144567cb0 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-ir0ml-39545624e789258ae1d1731144567cb0 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-ir0ml-39545624e789258ae1d1731144567cb0 av-special-heading-h2  avia-builder-el-5  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Interior<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>The interior design of the new S-Class Coup\u00e9 is an expression of the Mercedes-Benz design idiom \u2013 sensual purity.

The dashboard is divided into a very clear top-layer section with an expansive &#8220;wrap-around&#8221; effect extending to the doors, and an extremely low, sculptural &#8220;floating&#8221; lower section. This striking architecture was made possible by repositioning the airbag to a completely new low location. This concept enables the large, two-part wide-screen format TFT display to be placed in a prominent &#8220;hovering&#8221; position in front of this trim surface. In addition, it is stylishly highlighted with an ambience lighting corona. Under the display, the sporty elevated centre console extends to the vehicle rear.
