The new Mercedes S-Class Cabriolet features a sophisticated and well-insulated multi-layer soft-top giving all-round usability and folding electrically within 20 seconds. In line with the S-Class Coupé range, the S 560 replaces the outgoing S 500, and introduces a new 4.0-litre biturbo V8 petrol unit which produces 469 hp and 700 Nm of torque, and is mated to a nine-speed automatic gearbox. It has an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph, and can sprint from 0 to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds.
The AMG S 63 uses AMG’s hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol engine generating 612 hp and 900 Nm and powering the rear wheels via the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G-Tronic nine-speed gearbox. The S 65 uses a hand-built 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine which has an output of 630 hp and 1000 Nm. Both cars are electronically limited to a top speed of 155 mph, unless specified with the optional AMG Driver’s package which raises the top speed to 186 mph. The S 63 can travel from 0 to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds, while the S 65 takes just 4.1 seconds.
