S-Class (W223) [Official] Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W223)

[fan_of_642]

Always a great fan because of their interior.

I would prefer the W220 with the interior of its predecessor - and now, extremely again with W223.

 

[Special]

Wow totally disagree there. The W223 is very clearly an S-class to me and doesn't suffer in the presence department imo.

The rear is not S-Class at all.
All S-Class had a one-piece rear light, that was a typical S-Class design “Merkmal” as the Gernans says. And also the 140, 220, 221, 222 had them upright and not horizontal and specially not 2-piece.
Because now we have this shame, which you cant find even in a Kia:

Previous S500 - 320kw +16kw (0-100 in 4.9sec)
New S500 - 330kw +17kw (0-100 in 4.7sec)

^^
That's Merc giving Euro 7 regs a middle finger.

The same adjustment in the Swiss configurator. Does that have anything to do with an improvement in the 6-cylinder engines, which will also be introduced with the new E-Class W214?

 

[Rolf]

I think this is Mercedes counter with the S450 to the new BMW 740i (US Spec), which has also 280kw of power. I guess the S350d and S400d will eventually get an upgrade with mild hybrid added soon. I am sure the S580 and S580e will get power upgrades soon also to match the respective M760i and M760e models.

I'm hearing that the 580 V8 will be uprated to the 520-540 hp range soon or at FL. I didn't get a timeline from dealer so didn't want to hedge my bets and wait longer for the increase.

Same for the UK spec

 

[Special]

For me, still the most beautiful Mercedes and S-Class: the vor-mopf C217, non-AMG with those 20” original Rims and in Silver. Looks like a sculpture. Just Breathtaking.

 

[Mick Briesgau]

^ Both the coupe and the sedan of that generation are fine specimen of good Mercedes-Benz design. I put them on the same level as C126 coupe and W126 sedan.

You need a few redbulls to keep you awake in the Thomas 2hr mega episodes.

So you're happily going to ignore C215 and C216?

Mercedes does big coupes so, so well. I like this pair even more than C217, but hey, it's subjetive

 

[Mick Briesgau]

Yes, my friend, they do coupes very well. Take a look at this fine exemple @Gianclaudio

In action

The front of both these were cohesive. The biggest and possibly only complaint I have of the C217 is it’s catfish like front, but we can thank pedestrian legislation for that. Other than that niggle, it’s automotive porn
