Mercedes-Benz is preparing a replacement for its two-door flagship CL-Class model which will be appropriately named the S-Class Coupe when it is released.

The face lifted version will include LED daytime running lights, LED tail lamps and a newly designed front bumper.

Unlike the prototype in these photos, the grille of the production vesion is expected to feature just a single chrome bar across it, giving more prominence to the Mercedes badge sitting in the middle.

The AMG version is also expected to sport a much more aggressive look, reinstating the S-Class Coupe as the brand’s luxury performance flagship.

The S-Class Coupe 63 AMG promises to deliver more power while being more fuel efficient at the same time by utilising more composite materials and improved engine management.
