Mercedes-Benz is furthering its luxury image with the unveiling of the Exclusive Edition S-Class Coupe and Cabriolet. The German automaker has unveiled these exclusive vehicles at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show and has announced that the sale of the vehicles will start at the beginning of April 2018. The Exclusive Edition S-Class comes in either aragonite silver or rubellite red paint finishes, with the soft-top Cabriolet available in dark red or beige. The 19-inch alloy wheels will come in either aragonite silver or himalaya grey with thulium silver.
The interior of the Exclusive Edition S-Class will feature Asian hardwood, nappa leather seats, front and rear center armrests, and diamond-shaped perforated seat upholstery. Each model will also feature a LED Intelligent Light System with Swarovski crystals and special floor mats trimmed in either titian red or porcelain. Mercedes-Benz has yet to announce pricing for the Exclusive Edition S-Class, but it is expected to be considerably more than the standard 2017 Cabriolet.
