The current reality is that two-door cars, such as coupés and convertibles, have low demand in a market dominated by SUVs.
Mercedes, aware of this, discontinued models such as the SLC, S-Class Coupé/Convertible, and AMG GT Convertible, and also unified the coupés from the C and E Classes into the new CLE.
However, new trademark registrations suggest the possible return of an S-Class Coupé, with AMG and Maybach versions. The Maybach design includes a split rear window, referencing the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury concept.
Interestingly, these registrations were made by a Swiss company called Robu Aktiengesellschaft, which has been involved in exclusive projects such as the Bussink GT R SpeedLegend. This raises questions about Mercedes’ direct involvement, but the model could become part of the Mythos series, which includes ultra-exclusive and limited-production cars like the AMG PureSpeed, a special version of the SL63.
Despite the expected high cost, the idea of a new S-Class Coupé is exciting, especially as a farewell to the V12 engine, which faces restrictions due to emission standards and the shift to electric vehicles.
Amid the dominance of SUVs, a new coupé would represent the continuation of Mercedes’ tradition of producing elegant and desirable two-door cars.
