Andy_Bangle Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 The brand-new MY2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class saloon launch yesterday was nothing short of spectacular, with the automaker flying in its flagship model from its birthplace in Stuttgart to the Airbus A380 Delivery Centre in Hamburg, Germany, on an Airbus A300-600 DHL cargo plane. The new S-Class looks pretty good on the outside with its CLA / CLS-esque profile and roofline and prominent front grille (not sure about those headlights yet, though) mixing sporty lines with elegant cues, and even better inside. In fact, regarding the latter, I would go as far as saying that Merc's designers outdid themselves bringing the classic dashboard styling of older S-Class models into the 21st century. The W222 is slightly bigger than the car it replaces at 5,116mm long, 1,899mm wide, and 1,496mm tall for the regular wheelbase version, and that the initial range will include the following versions: The S350, which is fitted with a 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel rated for 255hp (258PS), the S500 powered by a 4.7-litre turbocharged petrol V8 with 449hp (455PS), and the S400 Hybrid featuring a 3.5-litre petrol V6 and an electric motor, that develop a combined 302hp (306PS). http://youtu.be/jREghQI4-MQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
