Mercedes-Benz has officially unveiled the 2015 S600 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
Set to go on sale in March, the S600 is designed to be the pinnacle of automotive excellence and available exclusively as a long-wheelbase model. It comes with the LED Intelligent Light System, Magic Body Control with Road Surface Scan and a Driving Assistance Plus package including Active Lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, BAS Plus with Cross-Traffic Assist, Distronic Plus with Steer Control and Stop&Go Pilot as well as Pre-Safe Brake.
Motivation is provided by a twin-turbo 6.0-ltier V12 engine which produces 530 hp and 830 Nm of torque. Thanks to a start/stop system, the car returns 11.1 L/100 km (21.1 mpg US or 25.4 mpg UK).
"The S-Class has always been the embodiment of our claim to deliver the very best in terms of both technology and design" emphasised Ola Källenius, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Cars. "And our flagship model, the S 600, epitomises the focus of our development work, the 'Essence of Luxury', in a way that no other model can.
