It’s official!

Moments ago Mercedes-Benz announced the date of the debut of the 2015 Mercedes S-Class Coupe. As we have reported earlier, the next-generation S-Class will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The 2015 Mercedes S-Class Coupe that will be featured in the event will be the S550 which is expected to carry a biturbo 4.7-liter V8 engine that can give off as much as 449 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque according to the report of LA Times. In addition, the power of the car will be distributed through its seven-speed automatic transmission via the 4MATIC all-wheel drive system.

On the other hand, the source noted that the other versions namely the S600, S63 AMG and the S65 AMG are expected to follow within the next 12 months. The article added that it seems like Mercedes-Benz won’t stop the lineup there.

We could be seeing a Black Series version later on after all the planned versions will be rolled out. In our previous report, we have mentioned that Christian Bokich of Mercedes USA stated that Black Series versions always come after a coupe version of a certain class is released. So, there is indeed a possibility for this.
