My disappointment was immeasurable when I heard Mercedes-Benz gave the axe to the S-Class couple following the production of the C217 that wrapped up in 2020. Hard to believe there would be no S-Class coupe after it existed in one way or another beginning way back in 1937. One would think it would make a perfect candidate to be fully electric the same way Rolls-Royce is going with their new Rolls-Royce Spectre set to hit roads for the 2024 model year, but I guess not. So if you want the last S-Class coupe, here you go.
Today’s car, a S560 up for sale in Portland, Oregon is as classic as it comes. Black over black leather. It’s a pure grand tourer for 365 days a year thanks to 4MATIC all-wheel drive and still can play in the big leagues with the Bentley Continental GT and the Rolls-Royce Wraith. I want one.

This was the last year Mercedes produced this model. In 2021 the S560 Coupe and Convertible body styles were discontinued, so this is the time to acquire one of Mercedes’s flagship autos, with less
than 8,800 miles, blending the best of sports car power and leather-wrapped luxury.Equipped with the Drivers Assistance package, which includes Distronic Cruise Control, Active Lane Change Assist, Speed Limit Assist, Route Based Speed Adaption, Active Steering Assist, Automatic Speed Takeover and Keylesss go.

This is a magnificent car, The only upgrades have been the tires and dark window tinting. See photos.
The important thing to note with the facelift examples of these C217 is they have a new twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 that replaced the twin-turbo 5.5-liter M157 V8 that was around for a while. I say that it is important because those M157s are starting to have issues with camshaft position sensors, camshaft adjuster magnets, timing cover leaks, and some other scary things you dread dealing with without a warranty. No, thank you. Hopefully, this new M176 solves all this.
Truth be told, I want one of these. I drove a pre-facelift one last fall and thought it was totally perfect for my duties of long drives on the highway and not really commuting. The tech is great, it is reasonably quick, and most importantly, it is extremely comfortable. $90,000 is of course expensive, but this is the S-Class coupe. What did you expect? I think this will come down a little as they age, but I don’t expect these to ever be a $30,000 car no matter how much I wish.
