S-Class (W222/C217/A217) [Official] Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222)

[Sonder]

I am a Mercedes fan, but that Eames looks more inviting

eames is just a legend - its a 'must have' in every flat or house, its stil gorgeous and timeless.

 

[Wolfgang]

The Eameses also inspired MB. Remember?

 

[W201]

Hm, the CD Player looks Bang & Olufsen inspired? Who is the man behind the wheel?

Sometimes, I feel like the R Class was too much ahead of its time (in terms of coming to market). Wonder if it will ever be brought back. I'm really sorry for this off-topic.

The biggest IDIOT in MB history! That's who.

Yes, the stereo is Bang & Olufsen inspired. It's Professor Jürgen Hubbert at the wheel, also called "Mr. Mercedes" at the time, an engineer who chaired Mercedes-Benz (not Daimler) for many years until he retired in 2004.

@ Mr. Mercedes. You are thinking of Jürgen Schrempp..

Hahaha

I also thought Mr Merc thought about Schrempp, however when I googled him, different man came in the pics...

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Haha my bad!

But at least we all know the name of the biggest idiot in MB's history, even if we don't know what he looks like. Maybe just as well...imagine if one of us ran into him...

Mercedes to offer an S-Class EV - report

Likely several years off
In a recent interview, Dr Uwe Ernstberger revealed Mercedes will offer an S-Class EV.

Speaking to Top Gear, Ernstberger confirmed "a complete electric car will be done in the future." However, the model is likely a ways off as he explained "We have to work on the capacities of the batteries to get a better package in the car because you do not want to lose all the comfort features of an S-Class for transporting a battery only."

Ernstberger also revealed the S-Class is a natural candidate for an advanced autonomous driving system but the company is still debating on how far they can push the technology in the short term.

While Ernstberger declined to talk about additional S-Class variants, Mercedes design chief Gordon Wagener said "We already have such a big beautiful coupe [the S-Class Coupe], so let rumors of an S-Class Cabriolet rise."

An update.

gloss black poplar wood trim (729)

designo metallized ash wood trim (H06)

Availability for additional wood trim of the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class from June 2014

As of July 2014 wood trim will become available more easily for the new S-Class: designo brown gloss sunburst myrtle wood (code 727), as well as gloss black poplar wood trim (729) and designo metallized ash wood (code H06) are available. So far, these decorative elements were only available in limited quantities, due to delivery problems at the supplier. The designo packages in conjunction with carbon or myrtle, poplar or walnut wood are still not yet available. Also available from June 2014, the nappa leather and Exclusive nappa leather, which were also restricted so far.

So will the designo woods not have the additional charge on them in MY15?

 

[Wolfgang]

^ The above only concerned availability and may not change pricing I believe. Admire your interior.

I have a thought that I can't post on another forum........Is it me, or does every attempt from an aftermarket vendor to change the body of the 222 in some way just destroys the car...??? It seems MB designed this car with such precision and thought, that any attempt to alter is an epic fail.... I have seen at least 10 companies try to add a body kit, and they all just don't work.....

I agree, the analyst in me wonders how many kits they are selling? Why are so many vendors trying to change the car? Anything from spoilers (which are no improvement over the MB spoiler or are much worse than the MB spoiler) to skirts, nose jobs, etc. IMO all of these kits just cheapen the look of the car, haven't seen one yet that makes any improvement.

So do I. There is no kit that looks better for me than the original one. Sometimes I have a thought, how strange it is that so popular vendors with their reputation manage to do so ugly cars from the beauty W222
