Ahead of its India launch, Mercedes-Benz has revealed the UK prices for the S-Class Cabriolet. The convertible version of the S-Class was displayed in India during the Auto Expo and is expected to reach showrooms in the next couple of months.

Introduced in three options, the S500 is offered for £110,120.00, (Rs 1.04 Crores) the S 63 is offered at £135,675.00 (Rs 1.28 Crore) and the S 65 is offered at £192,805.00 (Rs 1.82 Crore) (All prices, on-road UK). Under the hood, the S 500 is powered by a twin-turbo 4.6-litre V8 engine that generates a power output of 449bhp of power, the Mercedes-AMG S 63 gets a 5.5-litre V8 twin-turbocharged engine that generates 577bhp of power and the top of the line S 65 comes with a 6.0-litre V12 twin-turbo engine that generates 621bhp of power.

While all the three models are electronically restricted to do 249kmph, they are quick off the line. The S 500 is capable of doing a 0-100 kmph in just about 4.6 seconds, while the S 600 clocks  100 from standstill in just about 4.2 seconds. The S 65 with a biggest engine does  0-100kmph dash in just about 4.1 seconds. To make things interesting, the S 63 and the S 65 gets optional AMG Driver’s package that helps the vehicle to do 299kmph mark.

Speaking on features and design aspect, the S 500 AMG Line comes loaded with satellite navigation with COMAND Online system including dual 12.3-inch TFT displays, AIRMATIC air suspension with continuously variable damping control, AIRSCARF neck-level heating, automatic boot separator, 19-inch alloy wheels, AIRCAP and  heated rear seats. The S63 and the S65 have even more features, mainly additional AMG detailing and performance oriented parts. In India, the S-Class Cabriolet will be introduced via the CBU route and we are expecting only the S 500 trim at the time of the launch. Owing to heavy customs duty, the price of this convertible model is expected to be around Rs 2.5 crore to Rs 3 crore.
