If you feel like spending the price of a house (most places) on a very fast and comfortable German luxury sedan, then you're in luck. The configurator for the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe is ready and waiting, and it's not cheap to buy this much opulence.

The standard S550 4Matic Coupe rings up for $119,900 (* plus an additional $925 destination fee on all of them) and gets buyers a 4.7-liter twin-turbo V8 rated at 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. If that's not deemed to be enough, then the S63 AMG 4Matic is $160,900 with a 5.5-liter twin-turbo V8 pumping out 577 hp and 664 lb-ft of twist. While not currently listed on the configurator, Autoblog editor Jeremy Korzeniewski is on hand at the model's official launch, and tells us that the S65 AMG Coupe with its 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, good for 621 hp and 738 lb-ft, starts at $230,900 for customers who think that other two are a bit underwhelming.

As with many Mercedes, the options list for these coupes is huge, including pricey add-ons like carbon ceramic brakes for the S63 AMG for $8,950. The S550 goes get a few bundles, as well: the Sport Package for $5,900 adds a body kit and different wheels; the $3,500 Premium Package includes a HUD and massaging seats, and there's the Warmth and Comfort Package for $1,990 that adds heaters to the rear seats, armrests, door panels and steering wheel. Both models are offered with a Driver Assistance Package with safety systems like cross-traffic assist, blind spot assist and lane keeping assist for $2,800.

We expect to have more info about these new Mercs soon. Until then, head over to the configurator, and see how expensive you can make one of these Autobahn cruisers.Mercedes S-Coupe configurator running, $119,900* base price originally appeared on Autoblog on Tue, 14 Oct 2014 11:31:00 EST.
