Pursuing its North American diesel initiative, the Vision GL420 BLUETEC hosts a V8 engine that develops 290 horsepower and 515 lb-ft of torque. A fuel consumption average of 9.8 L/100 km is expected.

The GL420 BLUETEC gets a bigger front grille, flared fenders and 21-inch wheels.

The Ocean Drive is a design study that revives the tradition of large luxury convertibles that have disappeared from our roads. A four-door convertible, the Ocean Drive is Mercedes' interpretation of what the world's most comfortable and elegant convertible should be like.

The one-off convertible, based on the S600 sedan, is highlighted by a two-tone paint job, a large and upright grille, LED headlamps and taillights, and a soft power-operated top. The interior includes only the finest materials and bird's eye maple trim.
