How much more luxurious can the S600 be? We saw the S65 already and that is suppose to be the most expensive model of the standard S-class range.

CAR Magazine claims the S 65 AMG touchpad comes to all S starting in February, thus confirming MB Passion rumors.

CAR Most Wanted of 2014: Mercedes C-class

@ Wolfgang; do you have any information about HUD coming in all S from march 2014 on? March because S65 will be on market by then and it'll have HUD as far as I know.

 

[Wolfgang]

Mick, HUD is option code 463 in the EPC for the S 65 AMG and also listed for other 222 models, but may be optional.

In this picture taken from the EPC number 290 designates the head-up display controller in the dash:

^ Thanks Wolfgang. Informative as always

 

[Wolfgang]

Gladly.

Further "investigations" revealed an optional HUD may be presently in the pipeline for the new S-Class, the new S-Class Coupe,
the M-Class and GL-Class SUVs, the M-Class/GL-Class Coupes and, of course, for the new 205 C-Class.

MB Passion posted these pics, which show how to switch it on (right most button):

And how to configure it via the instrument cluster / steering wheel buttons, as expected:

I saw the new S Class today first time in South Africa and it looks great especially the front with new grill. It is better looking in real life than in the pictures!

Thanks a stack Wolfgang for the awesome pics. Do you perhaps have the copy of the performance sheets (with acceleration, weight, internal dimensions and sound levels) as well as the last page of test with points breakdown?

^ Good idea. Here's a start with some pics from that AMS test.

It is annoying to see that the acceleration of the Audi A8 is incredible and even better than that of the S 63 AMG.
Hopefully the 9G will change that.
