*Sigh*...Stars EVERYWHERE.

Yeah, I figured.

That's closer to the Star Trek Star Fleet logo though. Hardly recognizable as the Benz logo at all.

but it is lol

Says who in this day and age of AI?

Still, it really bums me out. Elements, among others, that simply do not fit into my perception of what a Mercedes-Benz should really be. I also imagine that, from his vantage point, Bruno Sacco is not at all amused either.

Bruno Sacco died in 2024.

I am aware of that. My "vantage point" comment was more "esoterical".

Little recap of some official information shared by MB with journalists who attended the car’s pre-preview :

• New V8 Engine: The new flat-plane crank V8, named the M177 EVO, will debut in the S580. Specifications are approximately 537 hp and 750 Nm. It features a mHEV BSG (Belt-driven Starter Generator) hybrid system—meaning no full-electric coasting—and is fully Euro 7 compliant.
• S580e PHEV Updates: The plug-in hybrid will also see improvements. The 3.0L engine increases from 367 hp to 449 hp, and the electric motor receives a boost of about 10 hp, bringing the total output to 585 hp.
• Engine Lineup: The S350d, S450d, S450, and S500 models are confirmed. Both diesel variants will be equipped with an electrically heated catalyst.
• Major Investment: The Mercedes CEO mentioned a significant investment for this facelift, with roughly 50% of the components redesigned (approximately 2,700 parts).
• Design Changes: Aesthetically, the front grille has grown in size, and—as previously noted—the front and rear light signatures will feature three-pointed stars.
• Software: The MB.OS has been overhauled to provide a more "intuitive and personal" experience.
• Suspension: While the hardware of the E-Active Body Control system remains the same, it can now receive data from other Mercedes vehicles via the cloud (Car-to-X), allowing it to adapt preemptively to road surface conditions.

They removed configurator for W223. At least in EU.

The prices for the facelifted models would be interesting...

 

[Jacke]

The prices for the facelifted models would be interesting...

probably a 10% increase

 

[MichiB]

probably a 10% increase

Yes, it is to be feared that the guardians of the "sacred sheet metal" will once again strike hard.

 

[sako97]

probably a 10% increase

Careful - They might go full Porsche 992.2 with the cost increases within the same generation

 

[Mathmatic]

Seem like pretty much all power figures have been leaked except the S500. We know it will have 640nm of torque on overboost and 600nm in a normal context. Anybody has a power figure for the S500?

 

[Wunderkind]

Yes, the prices of top of the line S Class and Maybachs will become dangerously close to that of the Bentley Continental. It’s going to be tough.

Wasn't there a real nice leak just for minutes ?

Sad to mention that just the leak was nice, not the car...
