What does that say? X-ray anyone?

Since it's Euro spec, it's an S500.

So George, would you do a swap for the new tail lights or you'd keep your original?

 

[VroomVroom]

Looks like it says S 530

But its most obviously S500

 

[coolraoul]

It says S500 for me, so Euro-specs 550.

If it has chrome strips, maybe, otherwise I'll just keep it as is.

Think you should defiantly update the headlights, the old ones are going to look soo dated compared to these!

Dealer told me that a new S-Class model will go on sale in August in the U.S. It is the new S520 with a new 5.2L, twin-turbo, DI, camless V8. HP will be 455hp with a U.S. fuel econ of 30 MPG.

Camless?

Now that would surprise me a lot, even BMW (who advertized it quite a lot) did not managed to do it (it was supposed to be the F01's main features)...

Would be awesome, however. Imagine the FL with camless engine and Pre-Scan suspensions... Okay, stop dreaming now!

S 560

I am not sure If my eyes are not deceiving me, but I see on the bootlid S560. I do not know, but I thought, that the new engines will come only with the new CLS. Why would they present the new E class with the old engines?

 

[bum-man]

^S-class always gets the new stuff.

Ok let me stop this before it gets too far out of hand........I was kidding in my earlier post about engines....

Motortalk.de user "Manuel-c180k" posted these pics, he saw the car near Frankfurt. Had no time to take pics of the front, but managed to take these...

It was being filmed, notice the guys in the Vito.

The car had LEDs DRL.
It's a 600 it seems.
Looks sleeker than the current model!

First time we see ther ear lights uncovered!! .

Carchecka, from Motortalk.de, posted these (AMG package):

Many thanks to both of them!

Just as I said once, not chrome strips just the "U" shape push over

Looks soo much better now

Also looks like they are doing the Promo videos for the official release

Love this S 600!! Looks perfect, especially the exterior colour!!

And just look at the Van in front of the E60!! Looks like an official shooting or so!!

 

[Tarek]

Love the exhausts

I miss the chrome strips, the rear needs something to break up those voluptuous lines. Hopefully the rear has a more dynamic appearance with the rear lights turned on.
