Mercedes-Benz Ocean Drive

Conceptual Mercedes-Benz Ocean Drive revives old tradition of big magnificent cabriolets. The car is created on a platform of sedan S600 of last generation (W221). Solid enough open car with 5,5-liter V12 power 517 h.p. has as a result turned out.

From a usual S-class, except for "stuffing", conceptual Ocean Drive has inherited the sizes and the basic lines. In the rest it is absolutely new car. In comparison with S class the lattice of a radiator is more and some than other form. Among bright design decisions - absence of lateral racks, big windows and handle of doors. Forward and back headlights in concept car - from light-emitting diodes. Body Ocean Drive is painted in two tones, smoothly passing each other.

The soft roof simplifies and facilitates the car, the metal collapsible design would be extremely bulky and difficult. As well as all cabriolets, Mercedes-Benz Ocean Drive looks better without a roof which is removed in the special compartment made of a maple tree. The innovative heating system аirscarf (an air scarf), directing on passengers a warm stream of air, built in in all four seats, will allow to enjoy driving even in cold days. Probably, there will be aesthetes in whom Ocean Drive will cause inconsistent feelings. But it also is intended not for all. In fact the big four-seater cabriolet should draw not so much attention, how many designates the status of the owner. Anyway, the cabriolet has turned out exclusive and aristocratical. For the present, the truth, as concept.
