Though it may appear that the prototype has a hardtop, it’s actually being used to conceal the fabric soft top underneath. Expect the convertible model to share powerplants with the coupe variant. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class convertible will compete directly with the BMW 6 Series convertible, Aston Martin Volante and Maserati GranTurismo convertible.
