[Yaz]

I thought the W223 only came in LWB in all market.

9 out of 10 S class produced are LWB.

It is always weird for me when I see a SWB S-Class (mostly when I visit Europe).

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

9 out of 10 S class produced are LWB.

9 out of 10 S classe's in Australia are SWB and self driven. Talk about an egalitarian society.

The discount on build to order S class has risen to 10% in Germany. That includes the AMG S 63.

Global sales of the W223 have been surprisingly steady given the delayed facelift.

Damn 6 years for a facelift, has it ever happened like this

The cycle is comparable to the W126. It debuted in 1979, its facelift came in 1985 and it was then built until 1991. There has rarely been a car that has aged so little. In my opinion, the W223 is similar - it's not for nothing that I call it "the goddess".

Love the LWB,
compared to SWB or Maybach the LWB looks like the main Design proposal,
which than finally was agreed.

Electrification strategies tipped the scales. It extends the life of companies' existing models. It is said that the Audi A8 will receive a second facelift.

I saw this beast in the wild finally this Saturday, driving out of the parking of a hyper car show at a private garage in my neighborhood. The S 63 was Magno Black designo exterior and its exhaust sounded very loud. It actually made a difference in the perception of this vehicle IRL. Gone is the vibe of a luxo-barge and instead this codes like a muscle car, a nice looking and surprisingly compact-for-its class one. I am not sure whether the exhaust was stock, but I have nothing to compare it to. The specs make or break this vehicle. Boring colors work against it, whereas this Magno Black one was chef's kiss.

Moments before I drove opposite the new M5 (also the first time I see in the wild, leaving the same event), and my impression was, "Wow, that is a LARGE vehicle!" In fact, if I did not know what it was, I could have easily pegged it for a 7-Series, at least size wise. I am willing to bet, if the S 63 and the M5 are side by side, the M5 looks bigger. The road in question is in particularly bad condition and the body movement was telling. The movements were controlled but one could tell how heavy the vehicle is by just watching. (This was not the same, interestingly, with the S 63 in the same stretch, though my impression is not scientific by any means).

I am not surprised by Rokenr's conclusion that the S AMG is quicker than the M5 and feels more like a next-gen E63 in feel.
