In premiering the Mercedes-Benz Concept S-Class Coupe at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, the automaker suffered no shortage of superlatives in describing what is expected to become the production S-Class Coupe. Within just the first 200 words of the company's lengthy press release, the following descriptors are used:

"Gorgeous"
"Spectacular"
"Truly exclusive"
"Defines the state of the art"
"Automotive masterpiece"
"A true design icon"

When the new S-Class Coupe arrives in showrooms, it will replace the existing CL-Class Coupe as the range-topping grand coupe of the lineup. According to Mercedes, the Concept S-Class Coupe's appearance revolves around the automaker's current design philosophy of "sensual clarity," which is rooted in what the company claims are core design values of tradition, emotion, and progressivism.
