Mercedes-Benz S-Class


Overview

    The S-Class has long been one of the premier luxury cars in the world. Although several Mercedes-Benz models bore the S label from the late 1950s, the first sedan family officially named "S-Class" debuted in MY1973. Since then, it has been redesigned only four times. S-Class models have long been early pioneers of emerging automotive technologies. Initially overshadowed somewhat by the 600/Pullman sedans, the S-Class became the Mercedes flagship upon the Pullman's retirement in 1980, and remains so to this day (DaimlerChrysler's resurrected Maybach brand notwithstanding). Over the years, the S-Class line has been equipped with engines ranging from six-cylinder diesels to twin-turbocharged vee-twelves. S-Class models have primarily been sedans, although coupes were sold for some time before being spun off as the CL-Class.
