Just released today, concept photos of the new S600 Mercedes convertible. This thing just looks like fluid, like pure, aerodynamic, and sleek mayhem. And we mean mayhem in the very best sense of the word. The transformation from sedan to convertible makes the S600 versatile. Put the top up for class, and put it down for coolness and fun. A ...
