S-Class [Official] Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupé Facelift (C217) 2017-

It is incredible to realise the SLR is now 20 years old, and it is getting better with age.

Exterior yes, interior not quite as much as the quality of materials wasn't what it is today. And it's not bespoke enough, looks like an SLK or something.

The problem with the SLR interior is it looks like a silver spray painted SL interior. They had identical airvents and HVAC controls and very similar instruments graphics, but with different colours.

silver spray painted

The best analogy.
A common practice in those years in the cheapest brands in their most basic lines!
Rare is a brand that makes an eternal Icon on the outside did not realize the short life and cheap appearance on the inside, it seems that they spent all the ideas and money designing the exterior, the most beautiful car in the world, with that interior and everything

Spotted this stunning S 65 coupe on the streets today. The design is nearly 10 years old now and it has not aged at all.

One for the modern classic garage @Merc1

 

[dalab]

A classic from now on, more beautiful with the years

This and an S600 Maybach cabriolet and I'm set for life.

Spotted another S65 coupe on the road,

This one has the gold brake callipers for the carbon brake system.

Still stunning at 10 years old.

How bad will this be over time in terms of reliability? Seriously considering one

It’s one of the best Mercedes designs in the last 30 years.

I have seen a number of S560 coupes in tbe last few weeks and they are still a stunning looking cars. One of the best looking Mercedes coupes ever.

The C217/W222 are very strong from a reliability standpoint - I’ve had a C217 since 2019 and owned a pre-facelift S63 more recently as my daily. Aside from regular maintenance, Ive had no serious issues with either. Both have been a pleasure to own.

Service records are key when on the market. Try to stay away from tuned examples, as the engine can suffer from premature wear.

The C217 is a car I’ll never sell - shame MB has replaced it with the EQ eggs with inferior build quality.

Beautiful car. The owner must’ve paid a fortune for it when new with the taxes down your way.

I was admiring this gorgeous S65 Cabrio I saw the other day. Very rare over here:

What a beautiful car. Hard to believe Mercedes stopped building this stunner and replaced it with the not so lovely CLE cabrio and SL.

I don’t get why people keeping saying this. The CLE is the new CLK and has nothing to do with replacing the S Coupe. The price difference alone says this. The SL isn’t a replacement either. Both a CLK/E Coupe have always been around and so has the SL along with the S/CL Coupe. I don’t see how they’re replacing anything.

You right, but unfortunately there is no true replacement for the lovely S/CL Coupe/Cabrio and potential buyers have no choice but to buy the CLE or SL if they want a sporty/cruiser coupe/cabrio. I do believe in future Mercedes will bring back the S coupe again. It has a long history line that cant be ignored. 280SE coupe/450SLC/500SEC are legends and fondly remembered by Mercedes enthusiasts.

Farrah and Lieberman recommended it to one of the viewers on recent podcast.

If they do make a new one I hope they don't butcher the design.

As many have waxed lyrically about, the C217 is on of the best looking cars ever made. I know a lot aren't a fan of the Panamericana grille, but honestly, I think it suits it just fine.
Anything does. It's just such a beautiful shape. Elegant, yet muscular. Captures the vibe of the 560SEC widebody, but with modern flair.

Only change I would make to the design is more modern headlights and to remove the silly crystals.
Gorgeous, inside and out
