2007 Mercedes-Benz S-Class |
The interior of the S-Class is as opulent as ever and roomier. Mercedes' answer to BMW I-Drive and Audi MMI systems is called Command Controller. Making sure not to be outdone by its major rivals, Mercedes has created their own not-so-user-friendly interface for vehicle controls.
Powering the new S-Class are a 388 hp 5.5L V8 for the S500 and a 517 hp twin-turbocharged V12 for those that love the smell of burnt rubber. Also available will be a 224 hp 3.2L V6 Bluetec diesel engine. All V8s will inherit a 7-speed automatic transmission whether or not it is mated to Mercedes 4-MATIC AWD system. The V12 retains the 5-speed auotbox.
