[MichiB]

Can't wait to see Interior, Engines and Manufaktur options.

My goal is to buy & configure full specs next gen W224.

Current W223 With Olive Green exterior and Tobacco Brown & Walnut brown.

Have you pictures of your current W223?

2027 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Prototype Ride: New Tech, No Surprises

The Sonderklasse's mid-cycle refresh keeps the focus on the sedan's trademark chill.

A few details on an early ride from C&D. Looks like the S580 gets the new V8.

Oho, I thought it was just getting the M177 (with the M176-non-AMG variant being canned).
Maybe we'll get some more details of the powerplant sooner than expected. Exciting.

Those are nice cars as well.

And @MichiB
Which engines do you prefer in the 223?

At the bottom rung of the ladder is the S500, which relies on a super- and turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that should produce 442 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque, with an overboost function improving torque to 472 pound-feet for short bursts. Above that is the S580e, a plug-in hybrid that combines the aforementioned straight-six with a beefier electric motor and battery to produce 576 horsepower, 73 more than last year's S580e.

The current king of the non-AMG mountain is the S580, which adopts the latest iteration of Benz's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8. Here, it produces 530 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. There are a bunch of changes to what's under the hood, including improvements to the intake and exhaust ports, tweaks to the injection system, and—coolest of all—a freakin' flat-plane crankshaft. This is the model for our brief back-seat ride on the roads surrounding Mercedes's plant in Sindelfingen, Germany.

In the US market selfishly, they need to Batman the S580 and Robin the S500/580e when it comes to launch priorities. Thankfully, a majority of the clientele for S classes are still V8 or nothing. Not that the pre-FL was a slouch at 496 understated Hp, but 530+ is gets you very AMG performance of 10 years IRL without the AMG maintenance costs.

The I6 is an excellent motor, but is more fitting to the rest of the lineup outside the S/G. Even with the I6 G550 now some of the repeat clientele are skipping to the G63 now to get a V8.

Long as they buy a G and they’re buying the more expensive one, I don’t think they mind. The G63 was already the majority of G sales I’d read. They’re printing money with it I’m sure.

[Swissbob]

The G is already bonkers, therefore the G63 makes the most sense.

It’s understandable.

Regarding the S-class I’ve owned only V8 and V12 engined ones, those are the right engines for this car, I never cared how strong the 6 bangers were.

 

[MichiB]

Those are nice cars as well.

I'm a fan of six-cylinder engines. I've driven the current inline-six several times. But the V8 has its appeal too, especially since a friend of mine has been driving a V8 in a new Mustang convertible for a few months now.

Huge update for Mercedes S-Class to bring flat-plane crank V8

Mercedes is giving its flagship limo a NEW V8 – and it's got a surprise for you... | Autocar

We kick back in heavily updated 2026 limousine, which gains new look, tech and flagship engine

[AbsoluteUnit]

Oh so is the "new" V8 just a flat-crank variant of the M177? Or is there going to be an new engine code too?
Or is there going to be a separate 4.0L flat plane V8 for more performance applications?

 

[leylandi]

The ultra-luxurious Maybach S580 will follow shortly after, with the same engine cranked to 603bhp to replace the V12 it currently uses, which Mercedes will retire in Europe.

 

[Satanicom]

My bet - they're going to simplicity.

One engine - few variants.

530, 600, 700hp. (S580, S600 Maybach?, S63)

The Maybach will be show in March if i remenber well.

Will there be an S680 V12 this time around since they said they are keeping the V12?

I don't know, i will ask around.

This is pure stupidity. Regarding decisions.

But from a company who puts a 4 banger in the SL, and calls another 4 banger 63. What should we expect.
