Maybe the scale model of the W223 is already stay in the Design Center of MB...

Not sure if your kidding around, but W223 development won't start until next year and design work in 2015. The final W223 clay model won't exist until 2017-18, unless there are delays. That is one gripe I have with MB, as BMW at least tries to not finish a design too ahead of time, that it's on ice for nearly half a decade.
The current W221 went from this CAVE render by G. Wagener in 2001/early 2002 to this example by December 2002.

hi silkeye ,, mercedes have two different way first you can use the button and two you can remove the button and use the key

also in porsche you can use plastic key (like button in mercedes) and real key in your pocket

or you can remove the plastic key and use the real key

i think it is classic thing ,, and it is better to have two way to start your car better then only button

Those quilted seats seems to be standard..and they look kick ass

 

[HUTSUTAo]

really nice

 

[W201]

I prefer the good old fashioned key for starting the engine. Feels pure, somehow. More involving.

 

[Dawid21]

Beautiful! I like beige interior

 

[mini_cooper4]

Yeah...a standard key is more involving... when the topic is about a car that has AT only and almost drives itself...
The S-Class is NOT an involving car and never should be - it's the opposite and that's why it's best in what it does

Mercedes-Benz’s next-generation S Class, the W222, is set for its official debut next month, and with the reveal so soon it appears Mercedes’ engineers have become a bit lax with the amount of camouflage gear they use on the last of the prototypes. This latest example, spotted just outside Germany’s Nürburgring, is wearing the least amount of camouflage we’ve seen yet, virtually revealing most of the new car’s details. We can clearly see new LED daytime running lights and indicators, which on the new S Class appear to be at the top of the headlight. The grille is also completely revealed and appears much larger than the unit on the outgoing car.

Mercedes-Benz has already given us a preview of its new S Class’ interior, revealing a blend of modern and traditional elements. The most striking feature in the cabin is the new twin-spoke steering wheel design. Set to land in showrooms later this year as a 2014 model, the new S Class will continue the flagship sedan’s tradition of debuting the latest in automotive technology. However, it will also break with tradition by offering for the first time new coupe, convertible and extra-long Pullman variants, the latter replacing the discontinued Maybach line.

This will also be the first production model in history to feature fully autonomous control. We were recently able to test the new S Class’ autonomous system and found it to be very impressive. The aim of the technology, Mercedes says, is accident-free driving, which it hopes will become a reality within the next decade. Other new technologies include active brakes with cross traffic monitoring, rear accident injury minimization and new lane keep technology that can read broken as well as solid lines. The car will also be the first with LEDs used entirely, including even in the vanity mirrors.

The new S Class looks to be slightly longer than the outgoing model and should come packed with a range of fuel efficient engines as well as a new plug-in hybrid option, though this latter option is unlikely to be available at launch. While it's still too early to confirm any details, R&D boss Dr. Thomas Weber has previously stated that a series of direct-injected and turbocharged engines will make up the powertrain lineup for the redesigned car, which means you can expect a similar lineup to what’s currently on offer.

The new S550 should come with a 429-horsepower twin-turbo V-8, while the S600 should pick up a new iteration of the automaker’s twin-turbo V-12 with around 510 horsepower on tap. The eventual S63 AMG model will get a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V-8 with around 550 horsepower to play with. Weber has also previously revealed that the plug-in hybrid powertrain from the 2009 Vision S500 Plug-In Hybrid Concept will also appear in the W222 series S Class. The technology promises 0-60 mph times of less than 6.0 seconds but with fuel economy of 70 mpg or better.

As for the car’ styling, Mercedes is going with a more timeless look that some may find a bit conservative. The sweeping curves seen on its flanks, first previewed on Mercedes’ Aesthetics S sculpture, were designed to mimic the curves on iconic Mercedes models like the 540K. As mentioned, expect a reveal of the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S Class next month, with sales to start in the second half of the year.
