Summary

The S 500 Cabriolet (A217) stands out for its air suspension system and AIRCAP technology that deflects air current over the cabin to keep calm even at high speeds. The V8 BiTurbo engine delivers a smooth and powerful performance, making it ideal for cruising. Attention should be paid to the 3-layer textile ceiling system, which is extremely insulated but requires regular control of the insulation tires. Also, the Intelligent Light System with Swarovski crystals (optional) is a special but expensive aesthetic element to replace in case of damage.
