Summary

The S 500 Retractable Coupe (RWD) offers a more classic driving experience and is slightly lighter in weight compared to the 4MATIC versions. This model is equipped with the MAGIC BODY CONTROL system (optional), which uses cameras to scan the road and adjust the suspension before it encounters potholes or irregularities. The 9G-TRONIC transmission ensures that the V8 BiTurbo engine works at optimum torque, reducing noise and highway consumption. Attention should be paid to the system of smart LED lights and to the maintenance of turbines, which generate high heat in the engine space. The interior space is crafted with the highest quality materials, including Nappa leather and wood or carbon detailing.
