On December 20, 2006, Mercedes unveiled pictures of the Ocean Drive concept slated for debut at the Detroit Motor Show on January 2007. Based on the V12-powered, long-wheelbase S 600 sedan, the car is essentially a topless W221 S-Class, The vehicle features an oversized grille, redesigned LED headlights and sleeker trunk/LED taillamp design, a revised air dam, cleaner flanks that eschew the controversial wheelhouse bulges, door handles that fit flush into the bodywork and Mercedes' neck-warming technology called AIRSCARF. The car also contains pillarless windows that provide a sweeping, unobstructed view for occupants when the traditional large soft top is down.
