A true test of a car’s look comes when photos start being taken from angles other than the standard ones used by manufacturers when they build up their base of press shots. However, when it comes to Mercedes’ new S-Class Coupé, they really have nothing to hide, and as you can see in the video posted below, it looks just as good as in the press footage and galleries.

Thankfully, it was scooped during the day by YouTube poster SuperCarsAllDay, so all of its design details and angles become very apparent in the natural light. The car is fully uncovered, with the exception of the rear badge that gets the black tape treatment.

This is the first ever example spotted out on the street (that we know of) and you can check it out by scrolling down to after the virtual jump. Shots of the interior are also included, but they are captured from outside – the clarity is not helped by the noticeable window tint seen on this car, so they are not the greatest…
