S-Class (W222/C217/A217) [Spyshots] Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W222) Facelift Spy Pics & Info

4.0. Same as E63 s

Might as well not call it the 63 AMG anymore then?

Branding...The 6.3 carries history. Here is something that will blow your mind. The M156 which started this whole 63 revival was not a 6.3 liter either...

I wish they kept the 5.5 for the S and SL family.

the smaller 4litre engine is actually more capable than the old 5.5

 

[multiflex]

I believe that will be confirmed 5.5 liters
or they will be forced to increase the power of the 12 cylinders 65 because otherwise they would have powers too similar
sorry for the English, but I'm Italian

Yes yes I know my friend, its just that the 5.5 sounds a lot better IMO, and the bigger displacement suits these types of vehicles.

That 6.2L was all sorts of ace. Seriously one of my favorite V8's in the last 10 or so years. Such theatrical noise.

 

[domleo999]

They may be able to exhibit more power and me more efficient - but the emotion of the big displacement na V8s will never be replaced...

a render or the real deal?

Guessing this will have an April reveal, but what is going to happen with the next generation? Will this run just 3 years or 4 years for a total life-cycle of 8 years?



I had to glance a second time, as I had initially read that as "terribly sexist" and then wondered the S-Class was somehow more sexist than 7er. (And no I do not have far-farsightedness lol)

If w222 had a 7 year cycle, we would have seen w223 mule now, because the first 222 mule we saw in February 2010

I think we normally start seeing prototypes of the next generation about 6 months after the face lift version of the current car is launched.

front- and rearbumper are completely wrong: it's a render.

 

[SKY]

The headlights are the current ones and the front bumper does not have the creases of the pre-FL one.

But they do more computer based testing these days, so that timeline may not be as accurate anymore.

Judging by the amount of new technology put into the new FL w222, I won't be surprised if it goes for the 8 years lifespan.
