Mercedes-Benz has officially unveiled the 2014 S-Class. The world premiere event occurred in Hamburg, Germany, at the Airbus A380 Delivery Centre. Mercedes-Benz is hailing the S class as a flagship that will set new benchmarks for high-end sedans with its packaging of technology, safety features and luxury options.
The new S-Class will be launched this fall with a twin-turbo 4.7-liter V-8 that kicks out an impressive 455 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. Other versions will follow follow over the next year, including a hybrid model.
The interior of the S-Class is loaded with techno-gadgets and luxury features, including an energizing hot-stone massage, and a fragrance system. There is a heated steering wheel, front and rear armrests and rear seats. You’ll find a top-of-the-line audio system, a pair of 12.3-inch screens, and a large number of different wood and color themes. The exterior styling is sleeker than the previous model. LED lighting is used throughout the exterior and interior of the vehicle.
