START AT SUPERLATIVE.
Even with the most diverse array of models it's ever offered, the S -Class expresses itself
in unequivocal terms. Its countless innovations in performance, safety and comfort are
each worthy of such superlative terms as groundbreaking, exclusive and exemplary. All
six sedans embody style, craftsmanship and elegance that are beyond compare. And yet,
examined one by one, they each reveal an unexpected pairing of virtues. There's a clean,
quiet diesel that delivers breathtaking acceleration. A highly advanced, supremely low -
emission hybrid that also makes a refreshing value statement. A commanding twin - turbo
V-8 of compelling efficiency. A V-12 that exercises its authority with consummate grace.
And two AMG models that fuse a racing pedigree with a luxury legacy. Their engineering
leadership, undeniable presence and unparalleled substance are superlatives that every
S - Class has in common. But they're only the start of what they share with no other car.
The S 350 BlueTEC. Refreshing in many ways, the
advanced clean diesel V- 6

The S 400 HYBRID. A silky gasoline V-6 teams up
with a near- silent electric motor, a first- of- its -kind
lithium-ion battery and a smooth 7- speed automatic.
With up to 25 highway mpg

and 0–60 in 7.2 seconds,
its super-low emissions come with yet another bonus:
no price penalty over its gasoline - only equivalent.
The S 550. With a 429-hp Direct Injection twin -turbo
V-8 and your choice of rear-wheel drive or 4

all -wheel drive, the S 550 accomplishes every aspect
of performance with confidence. Generating more
power and torque from less fuel, it can reach 60 mph

Standard 18" alloy wheels,
as well as 19" and 20" options, add to its enthusiasm.
The S 600. Seamless, and seemingly endless, thrust
is the calling card of this flagship among flagships. Its

510-hp twin-turbo V-12 sends a staggering 612 lb - ft
of peak torque to its rear wheels through a robust,
paddle - shifted 5- speed automatic. Advanced Active
Body Control (ABC) conducts every move of its 19" or
optional 20" wheels
with near - supernatural grace.

The S 63 AMG. Raw, race -bred power proves a most

super sedan. Its handcrafted biturbo V-8, 20" wheels
and AMG - calibrated ABC are evidence of unyielding

attention to every detail. While it can rush to 60 mph
in 4.4 seconds,
it'll cruise all day in relaxed comfort.

The S 65 AMG. Even superlatives struggle to describe
the most powerful, lavish and advanced sedan ever to
emerge from the thoroughbred stables of AMG. With a
handcrafted 621-hp biturbo V-12 and 20" forged -alloy

wheels,

it races to 60 in 4.2 seconds
virtually every measure of what an automobile can be.
