Rumorville: Mercedes To Have Approved Ocean Drive Production Version For 2011


While Mercedes-Benz was bluntly clear in its 2007 Detroit Show press release stating that the Ocean Drive Concept was a “one-off creation”, Motor Trend magazine is reporting otherwise. According to the American magazine, Mercedes has approved the S600-based Ocean Drive for production in the 2011 model year.

Last time we talked to Mercedes officials the Ocean Drive was nothing more, nothing less than a one-off study. Of course, the German carmaker could have had a change of mind due to the positive feedback from customers and dealers. However, allow us to play devils advocate here and note that besides the fact that four years from concept to reality is very long time, we can’t pinpoint a market segment for the Ocean Drive –a cabriolet version of the CL-Class would sound more logical. Bottom line, if we don’t see a second concept of the Ocean Drive over the next year, forget about it.
