[UPDATE: Official Interior Photos Added]
Recently, at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz boss Dieter Zetsche confirmed that the next-generation, 2014 Mercedes S-class would be revealed at a special event in Hamburg, Germany on May 15th.
Fortunately, and thanks to our very skilled spy photographers, we're able to debut the 2014 Mercedes S-class TWO months early!Here'sthe S-class in final showroom trim, during an official photo shoot!
Given the sedate look of the moderately camouflaged prototypes that have been recently spied, we weren't quite expecting the 2014 S-class to be a stunning car. However, now that we see the final product, as it will appear at the official debut, we've got to hand it to the Mercedes-Benz camouflage engineers as they've done a commendable job hiding what a handsome car the new S-Class has turned out to be.
Overall, the new Mercedes-Benz seems quite a bit more streamlined and smoothed out than the current S-class. An enormous grille, reminiscent of the one on the F700 concept, is gracing the 2014 model, along with some LED-bedazzled headlights. An equally impressive set of LED tail lights grace a much sleeker looking rear end.
Another big difference we see is the departure of the large, awkward-looking fender flares found on the current S-class.
Other details that jump out are the sculpted doors, with two strong character lines, a large glass roof, cross-drilled brake rotors and some very slim, integrated exhaust tips.
Just like the current model, the new S550 will get its power from a twin-turbo V8, and the S600 will feature a twin-turbo V12. For the AMG line, the S63 and S65 will also be released after initial launch, along with diesel and hybrid models. A diesel-electric plug-in hybrid variant may also be in the works.
In addition to the sedan in our photos, an S-class coupe and convertible will be offered. In an effort to replace the now defunct Maybach brand, an extended-wheelbase, high luxury S-class Pullman model will also join the lineup.

Last Minute UPDATE:
As we've seen here the S-Class has lost all of its camouflage, and surprisingly enough, a series of official Daimler photos of its interior have been released! These are darkly staged images, but we can already see the beauty and attention to detail of this sumptuous and impeccably made interior. A few lucky owners and lessees will get to surround themselves with these interiors, while driving this magnificent masterpiece of automotive engineering!
Enjoy!!
