Mercedes-Benz S-Class Review (2007)

Mercedes-Benz S-Class : 2007 Review:Parents prefer small class sizes to large class sizes in their childrens’ learning institutions because instructors are free to spend more one-on-one time with students when they have 10 pupils rather than 30. All things considered equal, as the students from the small schools with limited class sizes mature, they leap ahead of peers from large schools with overflowing class rooms, attending advanced placement courses in gifted child programs, landing scholarships to Ivy League colleges, and launching more lucrative careers with Fortune 500 companies. Then they buy Mercedes-Benz S-Classes, an icon of achievement which competes in a small class of premium luxury sedans, and with its 2007 redesign sits right up front, the apple of every engineer’s eye.
It would be easy to dismiss the Mercedes-Benz S-Class’s near perfection, considering the $104,475 price tag on the window sticker of our Mercedes-Benz S550 test car. After all, for that kind of money, a car should be as close to perfect as possible. During the same week we drove the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, however, we also had a Bentley Arnage R and a Rolls-Royce Phantom in the parking lot, vehicles priced more than double and triple, respectively, the price of our Mercedes-Benz S550. Yet, the Mercedes-Benz was the best car of the trio. It was more comfortable, more pleasing to drive, and more sophisticated. It lacked the old-world British charm of the Bentley and Roller, sure, but the quality of the Mercedes-Benz’s materials was nevertheless up to par with both of the more expensive machines.
Let’s not discount the Mercedes-Benz S550’s direct competitors, either. Lexus has a new LS sedan rolling into showrooms this fall, and it features some slick technology not found on the Mercedes-Benz, not to mention it will be available in hybrid form and likely priced below our test Mercedes-Benz S-Class’s six-figure price tag. BMW, too, has a new 7 Series sedan in the works for the 2008 model year. Audi’s beautiful A8 is no slouch, and Jaguar’s XJ provides premium luxury sedan buyers with the same English character that Bentley and Rolls-Royce possess – just dialed down a few notches.
Ron Perry drove the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class last January in Arizona, and you can read his story for all the specifics on key technologies like Night View Assist and updated features like Distronic Plus and Pre-Safe.

People who enjoy driving might wish to wait for the upcoming Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, which gets a full sport-tuned tweaking including a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine making 604-horsepower and 738 lb.-ft. of torque. If sublime cruising is the preferred method of travel, the Mercedes-Benz S550 gets a 382-horsepower, 5.5-liter V8 while the Mercedes-Benz S600 receives a 510-horsepower, 5.5-liter twin-turbo V12. Based on our test drive, the Mercedes-Benz S600 and Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG are overkill, because the Mercedes-Benz S550’s engine is more than powerful enough.
That’s the model we drove, with a base sticker price of $87,175 including the $775 destination charge and a $1,000 gas guzzler tax. The EPA says the Mercedes-Benz S550 will get 16 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway: we averaged 16.1 mpg during a week of driving the car all around the Los Angeles and Orange County regions. Our Mercedes-Benz S550 was loaded with just about every factory option, for an as-tested price of $104,475.
That included the Premium II Package ($2,850) with heated and active ventilated front seats, Sirius satellite radio, Parktronic park assist, and Keyless Go locking and ignition. Our car also had the Rear Seat Package ($2,900) with heated and active ventilated power rear seats, and a four-zone climate control system. Additional features on our test car were an Active Body Control active suspension that automatically limits body pitch, dive, and roll ($3,900); Distronic Plus adaptive cruise control that works in stop-and-go traffic ($2,850); and Drive Dynamic multi-contour front seats with four-stage massage function that has side bolsters that automatically inflate when the car is turning to add support for the driver and front passenger ($1,800).

Mercedes-Benz S600 Sedan Reviews ( 2001 )

Mercedes-Benz S600 ,this car is unbelievable, it rides like no other and is as solid as tank, the V12 pulls great for a 5700lb car. the styling is more than average but could use some better wheels. it handles and surprisingly well even at 100+mph. the cost of ownership is quite high, only due to the fact that any engine components need to be replace in twelves, not in sixes or eights. the gas mileage runs about 13 to 15mpg on premium unleaded.

My 2001 Mercedes-Benz S600 just turned over 106K miles and rides almost like it did when it was new. Although its louder when you are outside the car, the ride inside is pretty much the same. Maintenance costs are brutal. If you buy a used Mercedes-Benz S600 with over 80K miles, plan on spending about $4500 in maintenance at least twice a year. Parts are very expensive and labor is worse. I consider getting rid of it at least twice a year but then do the math and keep on driving it. Cant justify the price of a new one when this one rides and looks so good.

This car is the absolute definition of luxury. ABC Active Body Control has been needed on a few occasions had water pump replaced at 52K had extended warranty (yea!!) otherwise no!!!! issues. I always here people complaining about the S-class, and I say to you how about trying preventive maintance. That means on a regular basis, like oil changes every 3K to 4K miles.

2010 Mercedes Benz S-Class Hybrid

After three years of the current S-Class, Mercedes-Benz is launching the restyled 2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class in August. With the very latest technology for even greater safety, as well as trailblazing innovations in comfort and drive technology, the Mercedes-Benz flagship is reasserting its leading position as the brand's innovation platform and benchmark for luxury sedans.
In the 2010 S-Class, Mercedes-Benz has improved the renowned safety level even further with a unique combination of innovative camera and radar-based driver assistance systems. These include Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Lane Keeping Assist and the PRE-SAFE® brake system linked to the proximity regulating radar, which intervenes autonomously before an impending rear-end collision and acts like an invisible crumple zone. Other innovations in the 2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class include the Attention Assist driver drowsiness monitor and Active Body Control with automatic crosswind stabilization.The new Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid is also celebrating its debut. As the first series-production Mercedes-Benz passenger car with hybrid drive, this S-Class model is the world's most economical luxury car with a gasoline engine. Its estimated combined fuel consumption of 29 miles per gallon sets a new worldwide benchmark in this vehicle segment."The Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid is a major milestone on our road towards emission-free mobility", says Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of Daimler AG and CEO of Mercedes-Benz Cars. "Our first series-production hybrid passenger car exemplifies the long-term, sustainability-oriented development strategy of Mercedes-Benz, which has a clearly defined aim: economical and environmentally compatible premium automobiles, with no compromises in terms of safety, comfort and a superior driving experience." The Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid is also a trailblazer where energy storage is concerned: the new luxury sedan is the first series production car in the world to be equipped with the very latest lithium-ion battery technology. "In this way the S-Class and the Mercedes-Benz brand are doing important pioneering work for the electrification of the automobile."The new hybrid model combines a low fuel consumption and a high level of environmental compatibility with superior performance: the internal combustion engine and the hybrid module develop a combined output of 295 hp, and a combined maximum torque of 284 lb-ft. (The electric motor contributes 20 hp and 118 lb-ft to the powertrain).With 270,000 units sold world-wide since its launch, the W 221-series S-Class is the world's most successful luxury sedan, and seamlessly continues the success story of the flagship model in the Mercedes-Benz lineup. Since 1951, when the model 220 began the direct lineage of the S-Class, Mercedes-Benz has delivered around 3.3 million passenger cars from this model series to customers. The U.S. line-up includes the Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid, the 382-hp V8-powered S550 and all-wheel-drive S550 4MATIC as well as the high-performance 518-hp Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. V12 offerings include the 510-hp Mercedes-Benz S600 and the top-of-the-line 604-hp S65 AMG. The 2010 Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be in U.S. showrooms beginning in August.

Mercedes S400 Hybrid Review

Well, I've just driven the world's first mass-production automobile that employs a lithium-ion battery (the lithium-ion-using Tesla Roadster being a low-production affair). No, it isn't a full electric vehicle as Dr. MacCready would have preferred. But there, tucked in the corner of the Mercedes-Benz S400 Hybrid's engine bay, was a 32-cell, 120 volt, 0.9 amp-hour, lithium-ion battery about the size of shoebox.
For lithium-ion's first foray into mass production, the finicky battery type (dogged by YouTube videos of burning laptops) is getting kid-glove treatment. The most important kindness given it is cooling, performed by the AC system's refrigerant which is circulated by an electric motor (this required to provide air conditioning while the engine is shut down.) To give you an idea how pampered this battery is, when we asked how long it'll endure before replacement, Mercedes' engineers responded, "It'll last as long as the car itself" That's become a common claim about nickel-metal-hydride batteries, but I suspect both Tesla's and Chevy's Volt engineers are blanching at that proclamation being applied to lithium.

Mercedes-Benz W221 (2007)

The all-new Mercedes-Benz W221 was introduced in the autumn of 2005 at the Frankfurt International Motor Show, with export to other markets beginning in 2006. The Mercedes-Benz W221 S-Class made its North American premiere at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in January. The latest S-Class is slightly larger in all dimensions than its predecessor, and it features three newly developed engines with up to 26% power increase. The interior is completely new, all materials have been upgraded and make for a more luxurious ride, and the center console transmission gear lever has been replaced with a column-mounted shifter.
Models sold in North America are the S450 (2008-,SWB and Canada only), S550, S600, S63 AMG and S65 AMG; other models to be sold outside North America include the S280, S350, S300, S420 CDI and S320 CDI. The first Mercedes-Benz W221 model released in North America and Japan was the S550 (called S500 outside North America and Japan), with the Mercedes-Benz S600 arriving in the following spring. Notable features on the W221 include: the 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission (standard, except on V12 engines, where the 5-speed Sequentronic is used as the 7-speed cannot handle the power of the AMG V12). 4MATIC four wheel drive arrived in the fourth quarter of 2006.
The brakes continue to become more advanced with the new Brake Assist Plus system monitoring for an impending collision and increasing braking if needed, while the Distronic Plus cruise control can now bring the car to a complete stop.This system works in outdoor conditions; a test demonstration by Mercedes-Benz in a crash-test hall resulted in embarrassment for the company when a new S-Class crashed into the back of a stationary Mercedes-Benz W220 S-Class, an incident later attributed to radar-confusing steel in this hall.
Upscale department store Saks Fifth Avenue offered 20 special-edition Mercedes-Benz S600 sedans for sale in its 2005 Christmas catalog. All 20 cars, priced at $145,000 each, sold on November 22, 2005 in under seven minutes. The Saks-edition Mercedes-Benz S600 sedans were finished in a mocha black exterior with an almond beige interior and were the first examples of the Mercedes-Benz S600 to be sold to private owners. The S600s came with nearly every option standard. In 2007, Automobile Magazine named the W221 S-Class as one of its 2007 "All-Stars" over rivals from Lexus and BMW,and Car and Driver selected the S550 as the winner in a five-way comparison test of flagship luxury sedans.The Mercedes-Benz W221 S-Class was also the recipient of several other motoring awards (see following).
Standard features of the Mercedes-Benz S550 include air conditioning w/dual-zone automatic climate controls, interior air filter, Tele Aid assistance system, navigation system w/voice recognition, power tilt/telescopic leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated 14-way power front seats w/lumbar adjustment, memory system, heated power mirrors w/driver-side automatic day/night, power sunroof, premium sound system, 6-disc CD changer, saatellite radio, wireless cell phone link, universal garage door opener, automatic day/night rearview mirror, and power rear sunshade. The Mercedes-Benz S63 adds on heated/ventilated and massaging multicountour front seats w/automatic body-securing side bolsters, keyless start, power side sunshades, and power trunk closing. The Mercedes-Benz S65 and Mercedes-Benz S600 add on night vision, heated wood/leather-wrapped steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, power panoramic sunroof, rear dual-zone automatic climate controls, 8-way power-adjustable heated/ventilated rear seats w/lumbar adjustment, alcantara headliner, and rearview camera. Options for less expensive S-Class models include Night View Assist, power panorama sunroof, power side sunshades, heated steering wheel, upgraded leather upholstery, rearview camera, multicontour massaging front seats w/automatic body securing side bolsters, 8-way power adjustable heated/ventilated rear seats w/lumbar adjustment, rear dual-zone automatic climate controls, power trunk closing, and ventilated front seats.

Mercedes-Benz W220 (1999)

In late 1999, the Mercedes-Benz W220 was introduced. The Mercedes-Benz W220 S-Class was completely restyled, with a body that was slightly smaller and lighter than its predecessor. Unlike its predecessor, the Mercedes-BenzW220 was not the first model to feature the company's new design theme for the next generation of Mercedes-Benz. This honor was given to the A-Class when it launched in 1997. The new S-Class incorporated the new styling cues first introduced on the Mk I A-Class the year before (for example, the dashboard carried over the new styling details first seen in the A-Class). Despite being smaller, the W220 S-Class offered more interior space than the Mercedes-Benz W140. Production of the Mercedes-Benz W220 S-Class totaled 485,000 units, slightly more than the production totals from the W140.
As with each new S-Class, the Mercedes-Benz W220 brought in new innovations such as Airmatic air suspension and Active Ventilated Seats (which used miniature fans in the seats to move air through perforations). A navigation system with center console-mounted screen display was introduced, along with the COMAND input control system. Other options included keyless entry and ignition, a radar-controlled Distronic cruise control system and a cylinder shut-off system called Active Cylinder Control. The 4MATIC all wheel drive system was introduced to the North America market S-Class for 2003.
Consumer Reports classified the Mercedes-Benz W220 model's reliability as "poor," its lowest rating, and declared it one of the "least reliable luxury cars."Build quality, however, was generally considered to be good. For instance, Forbes described the W220 S500 as "built remarkably well." Early Mercedes-Benz W220s were recalled for issues with the trunk spring and the hydraulic fuel line; there were no recalls for the 2005 or 2006 model years.
In 2002 Mercedes-Benz introduced the world's first preemptive safety system on the Mercedes-Benz W220 with its first iteration of PRE-SAFE.
In 2003, the Mercedes-Benz W220 S-Class received an exterior refresh with updates to the front fascia. The grille angle was adjusted to a slightly more upright position, and the xenon-discharge headlamps were given a new transparent housing, replacing the earlier opaque versions. The front bumper's lower air intakes were also restyled. In 2005, the S-Class was the first vehicle to receive a TÜV Institute environmental certificate from the German Commission on Technical Compliance for environmentally friendly components.

Mercedes-Benz W140 (1991)

In 1991, Mercedes-Benz W140 series replaced the Mercedes-Benz W126 line in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, and the first production model of the latest S-Class rolled off the assembly line on August 6 of that year. As with its predecessor, the Mercedes-Benz W140 was the first of the "next generation" of Mercedes-Benz models to feature the company's new design theme. Following S-Class tradition, the car was available in two wheelbase lengths along with the shorter-wheelbase W140 coupé. Production totaled 406,532 units, the reduced total reflecting the inroads made by the newly introduced Lexus LS into the key US export market.
The Mercedes-Benz W140 S-Class is often known as the last Mercedes-Benz to be "overengineered," a company trait which was costing Mercedes-Benz in product delays and overbudgeting. For the consumer, the Mercedes-Benz W140 cost a considerable 25% more than the preceding Mercedes-Benz W126. Intense pressure from competitors such as Lexus and Infiniti led to the addition of more features and options as to set the Mercedes-Benz W140 apart from the rest and to justify the higher price. The Mercedes-Benz W140 introduced new innovations such as double-pane window glazing, self-closing boot lid and doors, electric windows with a jam-protection feature (lowering back down when encountering an obstruction), rear-parking markers (which appeared on the rear wings when in reverse), and a heating system which emitted warm air even after the engine was turned off.
In 1993, Mercedes-Benz model nomenclature was completely rationalized, with the SE/SEL/SEC cars becoming the S-Class and alphanumerical designations inverted (e.g. the both 500SE and 500SEL became S500 regardless of wheelbase length). In 1995, following the new Mercedes-Benz tradition of mid-life facelifts (first with the W126 in 1986), the Mercedes-Benz W140 received a minor facelift. The clear turn signal indicator lenses on the front and rear were the most obvious changes. Headlamps were fitted with separate low and high beam reflectors. Following the mid-year facelift, the Mercedes-Benz W140 coupé and sedan were each fitted with Electronic Stability Control. The Mercedes-Benz W140 was to feature an air suspension as an option, but Mercedes-Benz was still perfecting the technology and chose to launch air suspension as an option in the next generation S-Class in late 1999.

Mercedes-Benz W126 (1979)

The Mercedes-Benz W126 series premiered in late 1979 as 1980 model (and 1981 in USA and Australia). The Mercedes-Benz W126 line introduced a host of new safety features, and ushered in the next phase of Mercedes-Benz styling. The Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class was also the first luxury car to win the prestigious Car of the Year award from Australia's Wheels Magazine, which it did in 1981. The Mercedes-Benz W126 line lasted from 1979 through 1991, a production run of over twelve years. Total sales of the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class sedans reached 818,036 units, with an additional 74,060 coupes sold. These sales figures make the Mercedes-Benz W126 the most successful S-Class line in Mercedes-Benz history.In 1981, the Mercedes-Benz W126 introduced the modern airbag, as patented by Mercedes-Benz in 1971, to the world as an additional measure of occupant protection. Other safety innovations on the Mercedes-Benz W126 included passenger side airbags (in 1986), seat-belt pretensioners, and traction control. In the cabin, additional courtesy and reading lamps, along with heated seats and a more advanced climate control system, added to the luxurious interior environment. A four-speed automatic transmission was standard.
Although the top of range Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 of the previous generation was not directly replaced, the Mercedes-Benz W126 carried forward the hydropneumatic suspension of the 6.9 as an option on the 500SEL. A new cruise control system was offered as well. Abandoning the roadster based coupes, the Mercedes-Benz W126 introduced a two door variant, the SEC coupé. The longevity of the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class model cycle was aided by a mid-cycle update in 1986, an upgrade which previously was not done in S-Class generations. During the update of the Mercedes-Benz W126 model S-Class, a facelift was performed and engine upgrades occurred.

Engines

Powerplants on the Mercedes-Benz W126 S-Class included straight-6 and V8 engines. Most sales came from the diesel model in the United States and straight-6 models in Europe, although the V8 models were praised by contemporary journalists. During the W126 mid-cycle update in 1986, both the straight-6 and V8 engines were upgraded in several models to different displacement levels (six-cylinder upgraded from 2.8L to 3.0L, eight-cylinder upgraded from 3.8L to 4.2L, and 5.0L to 5.6L).
Notably, the 500SEL has an interesting place in US history, despite not being offered in that country. American demand for this particular car drove the establishment of a large grey market. The detuned, yet very expensive standard US specification 380 SE/SEL/SEC/SL was underpowered, according to contemporary reports, so 25,000 units per year of the parallel import vehicle were sold in the early 1980s. That prompted then Mercedes-Benz of North America to lobby for the elimination of parallel import in 1988.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class W116 (1972)

The Mercedes-Benz W116 series, produced from 1972 through 1979, was the first Mercedes-Benz model to be officially designated the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The Mercedes-Benz W116 S-Class featured a four-wheel independent suspension and disc brakes. The 280, 350, and 450 (4.5L version) models featured SE and SEL versions. Production of the W116 totaled 473,035 units.
The Mercedes-Benz W116 models were large luxury sedans. The Mercedes-Benz W116 was larger on the outside than the W108/W109 series it replaced, but had similar interior capacity, as the additional bulk was driven by new theories on car safety and occupant protection in a crash. It was one of the first cars to be available with ABS, a driver's airbag supplemental restraint system, or a turbo diesel engine.
The 450SE, then the most powerful model in the Mercedes-Benz W116 lineup, was awarded European Car of the Year in 1974. Starting in 1975, the Mercedes-Benz W116 was upgraded with a new fuel injection system in order to comply with revised exhaust emission standards in European markets. A slight power reduction was a result of this update, but in 1978, a series of further engine upgrades restored original performance levels under the new fuel injection systems.

Engines
The most notable Mercedes-Benz W116 was the high-performance, limited-production 450 SEL 6.9. This 8-cylinder model boasted the largest engine installed in a postwar Mercedes-Benz up to that time. Every 450 SEL 6.9 featured a self-leveling hydropneumatic suspension, and offered the ABS anti-lock braking system as an option from 1978 onwards. Also, in the United States and Canada only, Mercedes-Benz introduced the economical but powerful 3.0 liter 5-cylinder turbodiesel in 1978, sold as the 300SD.

Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG

Another vehicle the Lexus IS Coupe will have to come against is the Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG. With a huge 6.3-liter V8 engine under the bonnet the top model, Mercedes Benz CLK offers a truly memorable driving experience. The Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG eclipses the power and torque figures of any other model in this segment with a maximum output of 481 hp and 465 lb-ft of peak torque.

The AMG 6.3-liter V8 engine offers a truly explosive performance: the Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG Coupe sprints from standstill to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. The electronically limited top speed is 155 mph. The majestic power delivery of the Mercedes Benz -AMG V8 engine permits either electrifying acceleration or relaxed cruising in a high gear with ample power reserves. This unique 6.3-liter V8 engine from AMG is the first in the world to mix the high-revving concept and a large engine capacity. Developed exclusively by AMG, this high-performance engine offers 20 % more torque than comparable naturally aspirated engines with a similar power rating.

This exclusive mixture of a fast-running design and a large displacement accomplishes the best of both worlds: exhilarating high-revving flexibility accompanied by high pulling power at low engine speeds. The decidedly sporty character of the Mercedes Benz CLK 63 AMG manifests itself in the form of tremendous agility and dynamic responsiveness across all engine speed ranges. The new AMG V8 delivers 350 lb-ft of torque to the crankshaft as low down as 2000 rpm, while the maximum of 465 lb-ft is on tap at 5000 rpm.

Mercedes-Benz S600 Sedan

These days everyone thinks that a 4x4 is the only way to go in the snow. Lots of misguided yuppies have sacrificed comfort and style for the illusion of reliability and performance. In the old days, of course, the best way to get around during the Christmas season was by sleigh. These days it's in a Mercedes-Benz S600. This is the biggest, most luxurious sedan that Mercedes makes. Powered by one of the world's few V12 engines and with 420 lbs.-ft of torque, this limited-production beauty will blow the back doors off of any reindeer wagon on the road. It can't fly through the air or land on the rooftop but it does have plenty of cargo space for when you are feeling especially Santa-like. The Robb Report named the Mercedes-Benz S600 "Best Luxury Car" and Consumer Reports named it the "Most Comfortable Car." The Mercedes-Benz S600's MSRP is $132,250. Ho-ho-ho.

S-Class concept vehicles

Ocean Drive concept

At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in 2006, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the Ocean Drive concept, a convertible based on the W221 S-Class. There has since been speculation that this vehicle might see production. The Ocean Drive concept combines both retro and futuristic elements; an outsize, more prominent grille hearkens back to past Mercedes-Benz models, while flush body panels and doors, along with sculpted side flanks and LED lights, are new design cues.
Other design features include Mercedes-Benz's "Airscarf" system, which debuted on the SLK roadster and circulates hot air around the seats and occupant necks. A pillarless window design is similar to the current CL coupe and thus offers occupants an unobstructed view. Bird's eye maple wood trim and a champagne exterior color were featured on this Mercedes-Benz S-Class concept.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a series of the largest sedans produced by Mercedes-Benz, a division of Daimler AG. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a product of nine lines of Mercedes-Benz models dating since the mid-1950s, is the world's best-selling luxury flagship sedan. As the foremost model in the Mercedes-Benz lineup, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has debuted many of the company's latest innovations, including drivetrain technologies, interior features, and safety systems (such as the first airbag supplemental restraint systems, seatbelt pretensioners, and electronic stability program). The latest generation, the W221 S-Class, premiered in 2006 as an all-new design. As in previous iterations, the latest S-Class is sold in standard and long wheelbase versions and offers V6, V8, V12, and diesel powertrains.
The name "S-Class" derives from the German word "Sonderklasse" of which "S-Class" is an abbreviation. Sonderklasse means "special class" (or rather: "In a class of its own"), and in automotive terms thus refers to "a specially outfitted car." Although used colloquially for decades, the "S-Class" designation was first officially applied in 1973 with the debut of the W116 model line. Since then, five generations of officially-named Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans have been produced.
Past two-door coupe models of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class were known as SEC and later S Coupe. In 1998 they were spun off in a separate line as the Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, however it will be re-designated as the S-Coupe when launching the mid-generational facelift/refresh of the C216 later in 2009 as a 2010 model.

Mercedes-Benz World

Mercedes-Benz World is a facility at the Brooklands motor racing circuit in Weybridge, Surrey, UK. It opened on 29 October 2006.
Mercedes-Benz World has five courses for learning advanced skills and trying out an AMG. . The adjacent Brooklands Museum has a large collection of early motorcars, motorbikes and airplanes associated with Brooklands, as well as a cafe, a restaurant and a kids' area. Entry to the Mercedes complex is free to the public, for a small fee visitors can enter Brooklands Museum and view a fantastic collection of historic cars and aircraft, including Concorde.
Mercedes-Benz World offers driving lessons to anyone over 1.5m tall. This means children as young as 8 or 9 can drive on part of the original Brooklands Circuit.
The building is spread over three floors with over 100 cars on display, including a 300SL Gullwing as well as the McLaren Mercedes SLR sports car.
