Autocar Says New Mercedes S-Class Coupe Shown In Display, We Shake Our Heads [Updated]

We're not saying it's impossible to be fooled by video shots and renderings, but sometimes it's not that hard to tell whether a car seen is a coupe or a saloon, which brings us to this cropped photo of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class' large display on the center console, courtesy of Autocar.

The British magazine claims that the car you see here is the first camouflage-free photo of the new S-Class Coupe (or perhaps next CL, if AutoMotorundSport's report is correct). The author states that, "the Mercedes S-class coupé has been revealed in a dashboard graphic captured during the car's development programme" adding that "the dashboard graphic appears to show a slightly modified front bumper from that fitted to the new S-class saloon."

New Mercedes S-Class Coupe May Keep CL Nameplate, will Premiere in Frankfurt as a Study

The recently revealed 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will have more versions than ever, with a coupe and convertible to be added to the lineup in 2014. While it has been widely believed that the two-door model will be called the S-Class Coupe, the big luxury coupe may keep its CL name after all, just like its previous generations.

This assumption is based on a set of spy photos published by German magazine Auto Motor und Sport where a tag linked to a prototype’s keys shows the name CL 127, with 127 being the internal code for the new CL.

Spied: The New Mercedes-Benz S-Class' Rakish Coupe Sibling

Two down, five more to go - we're referring to the body styles of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class family, as we already know that the German premium carmaker plans to expand the range of its flagship series to include a total of seven different models. This week, we witnessed the world premiere of the first two members of the S-Class clan, the regular- and long-wheelbase sedans.

So, what's next? Well, we've seen limousine style prototypes as well as the coupe variants that will replace the current CL-Class models, while the talk on the street is that we will see at least one four-seater convertible, possibly two if the rumors about a sedan-cabriolet turn out to be true. For the time being, we're going to concentrate on the new S-Class Coupe that our spies nabbed testing on public roads.

Future Cars: The All-New 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe

We have great news! Yes, for those if you who like to be seen driving an automotive symbol of superiority to their local yacht club, golf course or boulevard, Mercedes-Benz is prepping its latest chapter of luxurious transport - the 2015 S-Class Coupe.

Now I have to admit past large Mercedes coupes have never really grabbed my attention (well apart from the glorious CL 65 AMG), yet they have always looked nice in a vanilla sense. However, in recent spy-shots, Mercedes-Benz has managed to capture my attention in what appears to be a compelling piece of rolling sculpture. So rather than showing an image full of black and white circles on a prototype vehicle, I've rendered something far more visually stimulating for our readers below.

Spy Shots: New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe Takes Up Skiing Lessons in Sweden

There's a replacement for the current Mercedes-Benz CL-Class luxury 2+2 coupe in the horizon, and as you probably have heard already (we'll repeat it just in case you missed out), it won't carry the same name, as the Stuttgart-based carmaker has made the decision to use the S-Class Coupe moniker instead.

The well-camouflaged model seen in these latest photos was spotted undergoing winter testing in Northern Sweden. From these images, Benz's new upscale coupe appears to have a more muscular appearance than the current CL with pronounced rear fenders, a sweeping roofline, a rakish rear window and a strong front end.

New and Better Spy Shots of 2015 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe

Here's a fresh batch of spy photos of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe that will replace the current CL-Class luxury two-door model at the end of 2014 or in early 2015, as the Germans continue to shuffle up the brand's designations.

Mercedes-Benz may revert to the S-Class Coupe moniker that was last used in W140 generation from the 1990s, but the new model won't be just an S-Class with two doors, as it will feature its own distinct styling highlighted by the heavily arched roofline, the padded rear fenders and the lowered front end.

First Spy Shots of New Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe that Replaces the CL

Our spies have just nabbed the first ever scoop shots of the all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe while being driven at one of company's German facilities – notably, with much less camouflage than what you would normally expect for a car seen in this stage of development.

Similar to how the E-Class Coupe succeeded the CLK-Class, the S-Class Coupe will replace the CL-Class flagship coupe models in Benz's range. The CL nameplate was first used in 1996 for the W140 Coupes, which were originally called SEC.
