Mercedes Appears to be Working on New S-Class Coupes
New trademarks filed with the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) might point to new Mercedes-Maybach S-class coupes.
Two Registered Community Designs (RCD) were filed with the EUIPO in what appears to be a partner organization.
One application shows an S-class coupe with an S63 front bumper, while the other shows what looks like an S680 with a split-window design.
With the launch of the W223-generation Mercedes-Benz S-class, the brand announced that both the coupe and cabriolet body styles would be discontinued. One year after the launch of the current generation, Mercedes made good on that promise. Now, a pair of trademarks filed with the EUIPO suggest that Mercedes-Maybach may be looking to reverse course.
Both trademark applications were registered this week, with the first showing what looks like a Mercedes-Maybach S-class coupe with the front bumper from an S63. The wheel caps are adorned with the Maybach logo, and the rear decklid clearly sports the AMG badge. The second application looks to feature a Maybach S680 coupe complete with a split-design rear window. Both registrations are set to expire on January 8, 2030.
While neither trademark was actually filed by Mercedes, they still pique our interest. Further investigation shows that both new RCDs were registered by a company called Robu Aktiengesellschaft, the same company that filed a trademark in 2021 that turned out to be the Bussink GT R SpeedLegend built by longtime Mercedes partner HWA AG.
Considering how the 2021 RCD filed by Robu was eventually turned into the ultra-limited Bussink GT R SpeedLegend, it could be that Mercedes wants to use these new filings for its high-end Mythos program. The company announced plans in 2023 for a new series of Mythos cars in an attempt to close the gap between brands such as Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
The first model in the Mythos series (linked below) was the Mercedes-AMG PureSpeed, a 196-mph SL63 that ditched a roof in favor of an F1-inspired halo. Production of the PureSpeed was limited to just 250 examples for the whole world.
