The concept of a modern-day Mercedes-Benz S550 convertible is absolutely fantastic, in large part because there hasn’t been one available for purchase in decades. Yes, it has been 46 years since the American car-buying public has been graced with the muscular beauty of a cabriolet so lovely and powerful, and thanks to the good people at Mercedes-Benz, that all is about to change.
The 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 Cabriolet looks a lot like the standard Mercedes-Benz S550, so those purchasing the drop-top will enjoy all the same aesthetic beauty with a 100 percent increase in sunlight and wind in their hair.
Some new features of the vehicle include a brand-new intelligent climate control that keeps drivers and passengers comfortable by using 12 sensors and 18 actuators that adjust automatically to exterior temperatures, whether the top is up or down.
Lavish optional add-ons include features like a multi-contour massaging front seat or a Burmester 3D sound system that integrates 24 high-def speakers and the best audio engineering to make music sound crystal clear, even when the roof has been retracted and acoustics no longer apply.
The engine, like in its non-convertible version, is a twin-turbocharged V8 capable of generating upwards of 449 hp, ideal for Fields Motorcars customers that like to punch it on Lakeland, FL roads.
This new Mercedes-Benz car will be made available here in the coming months, so if you’re interested feel free to give us a call or stop by any time and we’ll be happy to get you behind the wheel for a test drive. You’ll be glad to drive a fantastic luxury convertible that makes its triumphant return after almost five decades!
