The highly anticipated 2017 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Cabriolet convertible is headed to Mercedes-Benz of Buffalo in mid-2016, following a formal unveiling at the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show. “The new S-Class Cabriolet represents the sixth model of the S-Class family and is the first luxury four-seater cabriolet since 1971,” Mercedes-Benz said in a statement.
The S-Class cabriolet uses what Mercedes-Benz describes as the largest folding fabric roof to ever see series production. The fully automatic drop top has been styled to replicate the roofline of the S-Class coupe. To preserve its exterior line when the roof is lowered, the S-Class cabriolet also receives a large tonneau cover behind the rear seats. It opens at the press of button to accommodate the roof structure, stowing it in the forward section of the boot. Two initial engines are planned to see service in the new car, a twin-turbocharged 4.7-litre V8 in the S500 cabriolet and a twin-turbocharged 5.5-litre V8 engine in the S63 AMG cabriolet. Although it is yet to be confirmed, the S-Class cabriolet seems set to be sold with standard rear-wheel along with the option of Mercedes-
Benz’s 4Matic four-wheel drive system on at least one model. Inside, the new open-top Mercedes-Benz model provides seating for four, with the individual electronically adjustable rear seats separated by a center console.
