The Mercedes-Benz S Class was once referred to as “Sonderklasse” or “Special Class”. This 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550 Cabriolet is certainly special. It is a gorgeous, well optioned, low mileage, dealer-maintained example of the largest and most luxurious convertible offered by Mercedes. The performance capabilities of its 449-hp twin-turbo V-8 combined with its ultra luxurious refinements make this a joy to drive.

This beautiful S550 Cabriolet began life in August of 2016 as a dealer vehicle at Bloomington Normal Auto Mall in Normal, IL. It was acquired by its first owner in March of 2018 through Mercedes-Benz of Brooklyn. By January of 2023, our good friend and client Fred Marcus of El Paso, TX acquired the Cabriolet from Mercedes-Benz of San Antonio in San Antonio, TX where the S550 was acquired in January of 2023 by its current owner and our good friend and collector, Fred Marcus of El Paso, TX. Mr. Marcus has owned numerous Mercedes and a variety of automobiles and is known for the care and maintenance of his collection.

This Cabriolet’s livery is stunning in Selenite Gray Metallic with beautiful luster and shine and shows nearly as new. The beautiful Burgundy canvas convertible cloth top is a gorgeous complement to the gray metallic livery. The convertible top will open or close in 20 seconds at speeds up to 37 mph and is nearly new in appearance. The top may also be operated using the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob. This Cabriolet comes complete with the optional 20” cast wheels which are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero radials. The exterior of this S550 is in gorgeous condition as would be expected from a dealer maintained, 25,000-mile example.

The interior is as beautiful as the exterior in this true four-seater convertible. Upholstered in diamond stitched black Napa leather, the seats are sumptuous and beautifully finished. The piano black wood accents along with the instrument cluster and countless details make the interior something to behold. This Designo Edition Cabriolet is well optioned with the amazing $6,400 Burmester audio system and the $3,500 Premium Package which includes massage seats, surround-view camera and heads up display. The overall interior is in near new condition throughout.

The engine compartment is in beautiful condition overall as expected from a low mileage, dealer-maintained example. This Cabriolet comes with an intercooled, DOHC, 449 hp, twin turbo V-8 which propels this S550 from 0-60 in just 4.4 seconds with a top speed of 132 mph. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels through its 9-speed automatic transmission which operates flawlessly.

This gorgeous Cabriolet comes complete with the Operator’s Manual, the glove compartment Cross pen and the CARFAX report.
