Mercedes-Benz's flagship S-Class line may soon see the return of a coupe variant, according to trademark filings discovered by Car and Driver. This development comes nearly five years after the discontinuation of the previous S-Class coupe and convertible models.

  • Trademarks filed with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO)
  • Filed by Swiss firm Robu AG, not Mercedes-Benz directly
  • Robu AG previously involved with AMG GT R SpeedLegend project

Possible 'Mythos' Connection:

  • Could be part of Mercedes-Benz's ultra-limited 'Mythos' model series
  • Mythos vehicles described as "ultra-exclusive collector cars"
  • First Mythos model: Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed (SL-based, limited to 250 units)

Design Details:

  • Two versions shown in patent filings:
    1. AMG-style with Maybach wheels and two-tone paint
    2. Maybach-badged with unique split rear window
Potential Revival of Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe
  • Both feature B-pillars, unlike past two-door S-Classes
  • Roofline similar to four-door S-Class, resembling two-door sedans

Historical Context:

  • Two generations of S-Class branded coupes/convertibles: C126 (1981-1991) and C217 (2013-2020)
  • CL-Class filled the gap from 1992 to 2013

While these trademark filings don't guarantee production, they suggest Mercedes-Benz is exploring ways to revive its flagship coupe in a potentially more exclusive form. The design departures from traditional S-Class coupes, combined with the possible Mythos series connection, indicate a new direction for the luxury grand tourer concept within the Mercedes-Benz lineup.
