Re: Mercedes to Launch Four-Door Cabriolet At Detroit

Say hello to your S convertible! Concept Ocean Drive:






At least they could have made the concept to look good, but this here, IMO, looks horrible...

Re: Mercedes to Launch Four-Door Cabriolet At Detroit

Quick translation using freetranslation.com:

Optically the 5.29 meter of long original quotes models younger at the same time out of the own group. The stern seems to come of the current CL, that and the two color varnish reminds of the small Maybach and the face comes of the S-class whereby the cooler grill clearly grew and carries now four Querlamellen to total line. Flanking head floodlights, that are carried out like the back lamp in LED-technology, come, to the use. The long seitliche disks opening is interrupted cabriolettypisch of no B-column and no disks frame. In order around to be able to secure the conventionally marred doors, was preserved a Stummel of the B-column. Car body stiffenings in the ground group should breathe also the open S-class standing stability.

3.2 Square meters of material

The Highlight of the Ocean Drive is natural the oversized material covering. At the push of a button and within 20 seconds, the 3.2 square meter of material large piece folds itself skillful and fully automatically into the covering box behind the foundation passengers. That out of the SLK well known into the seats integrated Airscarf-heating provides also in open covering for comfortable temperatures on all four places. Surfaces in noble wood and leather form a luxurious ambience. Even the cover of the covering box carries bird eye maple. Further luxury-Features are screens in the front head supports, a DVD-unit as well as a champagne specialty between the foundation seat.

Under the sheet metal, the technology of the Mercedes S600 strikes. for propulsion provides such a 5,5-Liter-V12 with 517 HP and a maximal torque of 830 Nm. For the power river on the back wheels, Mercedes harnesses a five gear automatic control mechanism. Load work page it leaves the Cabrio however in a Stahlfeder-ABC-load work with 9X21 customs large rims ahead and 10X21 customs-wheels at the rear axle. The tire formats amount to all around 275/35. to the Sicherheitsaustattung of the Ocean Drive belong among other things a brake assistant, Pre-safe and a Distronic with Radarsensorik.

Their translation ain't the best, but it can help i guess...
