S-Class [Official] Mercedes-Maybach S600 (X222)
- Thread starter Star&Car
- Start date
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, formerly known as Sonderklasse, is a series of full-sized luxury sedans and coupés produced by Mercedes-Benz. The S-Class is the designation for top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz models and was officially introduced in 1972 with the W116, and has remained in use ever since. The S-Class is the flagship vehicle for Mercedes-Benz, being positioned above the other Mercedes-Benz models.

Regarding the Maybach grille, I don't understand the logic in using it at this level. The W222 chassis has been out for almost 5 years, and the front fascia with the classic Mercedes grille has become so familiar that trying to add a very different grille won't be that easy to digest, especially when the replaced piece plays a very important part in defining the car.
Maybe if Mercedes used this "waterfall" grille when the car debuted it would be easier to accept, but this doesn't matter that much, as the customers of the car will decide if they like such a move or not.

Weird that they didn't even bother to change or upgrade the lights on the Coupe at all. It gets the older lights with older technology.
I think MB engineers are still testing these new lights and won't be in production until the next S class arrives.

hmm, this is going to take some getting used to.Are theses changes optional or is this now standard for Maybach?

No, they don't exist, it's a photoshop.

Stuttgart/Geneva. The future of car light should start soon for selected Mercedes-Maybach customers: the revolutionary headlamp technology DIGITAL LIGHT with virtually dazzle-free main beam in HD quality and a resolution of more than two million pixels should be entering small series production in the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. DIGITAL LIGHT is celebrating its world premiere in the updated top model from Mercedes-Maybach at the Geneva Motor Show. Selected fleet customers are expected to take delivery of the first vehicles equipped with it in the first half of 2018.
”With a resolution of over one million pixels per headlamp, DIGITAL LIGHT not only creates ideal light conditions for every driving situation; it also extends the visual support from our driving assistance systems”, says Ola Källenius, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and responsible for Group Research and Mercedes-Benz Cars Development.
The revolutionary DIGITAL LIGHT headlamp technology with outstanding performance facilitates pioneering driving assistance and communication with the driver and can create the ideal light conditions in every driving situation. DIGITAL LIGHT offers even higher precision than the MULTIBEAM LED headlamps, minimising the risk of other road users being dazzled. DIGITAL LIGHT delivers an important contribution towards improving safety in road traffic - as an integral part of the overall INTELLIGENT DRIVE strategy.
In the new HD-quality headlamp there is a chip at work with over a million micro-reflectors, i.e. a total of over two million per vehicle. Cameras and sensor systems in the vehicle detect other road users, powerful computers evaluate the data plus digital navigation maps in milliseconds and give the headlamps the commands for best possible adaption of the light distribution in all situations.
High Definition headlamps with innovative features[1]
With the innovative software-controlled DIGITAL LIGHT technology symbols can also be projected onto the road in HD quality. This not only gives the driver information directly in their field of vision: in a second step it could also make communication with the surroundings possible.
An overview of the DIGITAL LIGHT functions:
Guide lines
When driving through a construction site, two trails of light corresponding to the entire width of the car are projected onto the driver's own lane. These guide lines help the driver with orientation.
Extended pedestrian mark
If a pedestrian is detected in the danger zone near the road, an arrow pointing towards them appears on the road surface. This is in addition to the mark already made by the Adaptive Highbeam Assist.
Distance mark
This function supports the driver in setting the standard proximity appropriate for certain situations. When the driver activates the DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control or changes the standard proximity, an appropriate proximity mark appears on the road.
The car with DIGITAL LIGHT technology can also warn the driver about certain dangers and give relevant information on the road. For example if the car is in danger of leaving its lane and entering the oncoming traffic, a lane-keeping symbol is projected onto the road.
The following symbols are available as small series production starts:

"If a pedestrian is detected in the path of the vehicle, the combined total of 2 million pixels focus several megawatts of power, such that the pedestrian is immediately vapourised in the vital moments before they might otherwise impact the front of your Maybach.
Engineers from Mercedes-Benz successfully tested this technology on Princess Leia's home planet of Alderaan, with great success"
