^ nice avatar..a good way to welcome the new baby.

Thanks Star&Car

There's a german Wikipedia article about the W222. There's nothing new, but a interesting summary of what we know. Maybe translate it with bing or so.

PS: Also in Russian.

I do not speak or read German or whatever laguage that is, but a WAG is

The new S-Class. Premiere.

Also what on the inside LaArtist?

I like how Mercedes continues to pretends those numerous leaked photos do not exist online and nobody has a clue of how the exterior and interior looks like. I don't remember the W221 having so many pre launch leaks.

Anyway for those who can't wait...here is the 1:18 scale model of the W222.

Thats freakin cool!

 

[ZicZachZo]

Can we count the 1:18 scale pics as the official launch press kit and call it a day?

 

[W201]

No.

I have never seen a bigger bunch of addicts than the people in this thread.

Still perplexed on why the exhaust tips look so squinty on the undisguised pictures of the Sport Model from March when the regular ones (if we are to trust the numerous spy pics and the 1/18 model above) look more conventional and essentially a carryover.

With this 1:18 model it seems that Benz's marketing team used about every single manner of leakage.

Who's product is this? Autoart?

 

[Christian-S]

I would say Autoart too.

 

[SCOTT27]

More like Norev.

Autoart?

It is made by Norev, which is an above budget model car manufacturer, but not in the same league as Autoart or Kyosho. Sadly model cars can't escape the cost cutting measures. For those who collect these things, you would have noticed BMW has also moved away from quality brands like Kyosho to Norev.

The S-Klasse still looks above the usual Norev norm.
I have a Prototype 1/18 BMW i3 and BMW i8 by Paragon in my department for evaluation before they make changes , they won't actually be available until mid- 2014. The S-Klasse looks to be available soon.

SCOTT27,

Did the 750Li F02 LCI go trough the check all ready? Or didn't kyosho finish it yet? Kyosho has announced the F02 and the X1 LCI in February. Or is it cancelled?

The new s-Class is made by norev, like all the new Mercedes models. The are doing a quit good job on them. Ok not as good as kyosho or auto art, but a better one then minichamps .

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Outstanding...

 

[burana800]

Take the kyosho talk somewhere else. This car though.. Paint it black and give it to me.. now!

 

[LaArtist]

Very interesting that 1:18 car..

That line that runes from the top of the rear lights to the rear door handle is news to me..i like it
