Style, luxury and (most importantly) technology, the S-Class has constantly been the benchmark other automakers aspired to surpass.
Mercedes-Benz’s S550 4Matic packs a 4.6-liter Bi-turbo V8 under the hood, sending 449 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque to all four wheels by way of a seven-speed automatic transmission.
The silhouette of the S-Class is unmistakable across the globe, and the S550 carries on the tradition of maintaining that presence, modernizing the car with minor tweaks, like a larger grille and flowing shape.
There isn’t a single light bulb to be found on the exterior or the interior. Fifty-six LEDs illuminate the road ahead while 35 LEDs make up the tail lights. Throughout the inside, there are nearly 300 of them performing various tasks including setting the mood with the ambient lighting package.
Behind the steering wheel sit two 12.3-inch high-resolution TFT screens where much of the techno-magic happens. One replaces traditional analogue gauges with a fully digital set that also communicates radio, navigation and phone info while it’s in use.
The neatest trick this screen has up its sleeve is the Autoliv night-vision system that brings an extra element of awareness to the car. The night vision displays itself between the gauges, near to the driver’s eye line. This display gives an enhanced black-and-white view of the area in front of the car and is also able to identify pedestrians at low speeds.
