It takes three extraordinary letters to crown a new S-Class: AMG, the fastest way
to the top. High-performance technologies which have earned their spurs in motor
racing are matched with systematically deployed lightweight materials. The result
is a unique combination of luxury saloon and super sports car: the new S 63 AMG.
As it is with the technologies, so it is with the materials: only the best, the truly special
are used. Carbon-fibre, for example – a material that, thanks to its minimal weight
and extreme rigidity, is extensively deployed in Formula 1 racing. Precisely fashioned
and finished by hand, it gives the interior of the new S 63 AMG an air of exclusive
sportiness.

Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive.
Look ahead. Think ahead.
Welcome to the automotive future. Which arrived a long time ago as far
as the new S-Class is concerned. Lay your hands on the steering wheel
and all your senses will link up. The cutting-edge on-board and external
sensor systems will see ahead for you, draw conclusions for you, react
at lightning speed and thereby prevent accidents. Thanks to a stereo camera,
powerful processors and technical assistant systems. And years of
unstinting research. A further milestone from Mercedes-Benz along the
path towards greater safety and comfort in road transport and a significant
step towards autonomous driving. What will the future bring? The more
research we do, the more perspectives that open up. That’s how it is with
visions. There comes a time when you need a new one. Of and for the
future.
32
Just a second!
33
Everyone has a view on whether it’s possible to predict what’s coming.
Impossible, many would say. A challenge, is what our R&D people reply. But
actually, our engineers were not happy with just seeing what’s about to
happen: they had the crazy idea of wanting to influence the future through
actions in the present, for in this way they could help to prevent accidents
ever happening. You’ve surely been there before: you are concentrating on
the road ahead, when suddenly a shadow catches the corner of your eye...
In those few critical seconds you’re best off benefitting from the results of
many years of research. We have developed technologies that allow the
vehicle to keep an eye on everything around it. It can see things coming that
we can at best only guess at – for example, by calculating where moving
objects will move to, and when. Using a stereo camera system that can view
things three-dimensionally, in other words spatially. Just like a human can.
But can then compute this data so quickly that it is analysed in real time, and
can forecast, for example, the future position of a cyclist. That is impossible
for a human and unique in a car – i.e. typically S-Class.
34
Masterpiece of chassis engineering.
35
What do you call something that’s ground-breaking? Something that’s prepared to leave
the tried and trusted behind, to reinvent it. Knowing that the real challenge always lies
ahead of one. Revolutionary? Innovative? Visionary? We call it magic – MAGIC BODY
CONTROL. This newly developed chassis technology sets itself up in advance to deal
with the road conditions ahead. One could almost say, it relieves the road of its pock-marks
and imperfections. This view of the immediate future is achieved through a stereo
camera positioned behind the rear-view mirror, which observes the road from two
perspectives. The huge amounts of data created are transferred to and processed by the
control unit for the chassis, in real time. With an accuracy of one to two millimetres
at 120 km/h and 25 images per second. The chassis accordingly regulates the amount
of oil needed in each of the separately controllable spring struts. In this way the bumps
in the road can be almost completely absorbed. At a speed of 130 km/h. Even when
cornering, the system always knows what lies ahead. If you’ve experienced it, you’ll
want to write letters of thanks to our engineers – which you can do, on the back seat of
the car, at speed, with a fountain pen. Thanks to MAGIC BODY CONTROL.
36
When you’re driving in the new S-Class, arriving is almost incidental. Both for you, and our
engineers too.Their aim for every journey is to create a space which becomes yours
when you move into it. In a seat that cools you or warms you as desired, and gently tilts
backwards until, relaxed and stretched out in the back, you rediscover the meaning of
generosity. The measure of all things, which adjusts itself to you, supports your legs and
bolsters your back. From the six massage programmes available, you select 15 therapeutic
minutes – relaxing you after what has been, reviving you for what’s still to be done. In an
exclusive workplace that offers you all you need to make you independent. You will find
the unobtrusive technologies at work here, which turn your trip into one of incomparable
comfort, intuitive to operate. And when you do get out, you are not just getting out of a car,
but of a space specially created for you: the new S-Class.
First Class Business Class.
38
Light has never been so directed.
39
There is not much we don’t try in our quest to revolutionise every
area of automotive engineering and be the first to bring new
technologies to the street. So why not put light in the spotlight,
and work on it until it is efficient and intelligent enough to be fit
for an S-Class? And we don’t just mean that the new LED-based
lighting technology must illuminate the road surface better, the
light temperature must be agreeable and the lights must use up
to 25 percent less energy compared to conventional headlamps.
S-Class lighting must do more than that. It must interact with the
various sensor and assistance systems, such as the optional
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus. With the result that if an oncoming
vehicle or a vehicle ahead is detected, the area it occupies
is simply blanked out in the main beam light cones of the LED
headlamps. And when at a standstill, at traffic lights for example,
the brake light is automatically toned down so as not to dazzle
anyone behind. The more than 190 single-chip LED diodes ensure
even greater comfort and safety in traffic. So, light can do a whole
lot more than just be illuminating. In a Mercedes-Benz at least.

Diesel and petrol engine.
The rule of the road today: you can’t have refinement without efficient technologies. Mercedes-Benz diesel and petrol engines are therefore lighter and measure out fuel extremely
precisely. In this way they bring together a sense of responsibility and commitment, without compromising on driving enjoyment – no matter what drive system you opt for.
6-cylinder V-engine. The S 350 BlueTEC brings together
frugality and performance in one engine. This is made
possible thanks to systematic use of lightweight materials
deploying aluminium parts and precise, spray-guided
piezo injection. The new S-Class with a V6 engine and
output of 190 kW (258 hp) as well as maximum torque of
620 Nm consumes a mere 5.5 l per 100 km. The CO2
emissions stand at only 155-146 g/km. What’s more, the
BlueTEC technology significantly reduces the nitric oxide
emissions from the 6-cylinder engine – almost down to
the level of a petrol engine. In this way the S 350 BlueTEC
already satisfies the strict requirements of the Euro 6
emissions standard.
8-cylinder V-engine. Refinement, driving pleasure and
responsibility – embodied by the petrol engine with 335 kW
(455 hp). Thanks to twin turbocharging and intercooling,
the S 500 has huge reserves of power and can accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.8 seconds. The engine may
give off its typical, unmistakeably sonorous and cultivated
sound, but fuel consumption stays unusually low.

S 400 HYBRID.
This particularly efficient, environmentally responsible drive system combines a 6-cylinder petrol engine with a compact electric motor. The highlight is its
specially-developed lithium ion battery. It is fed in part by a kinetic energy recuperation system and is very light despite the high energy density.
Environmentally responsible, comfortable and dynamic, all
at the same time – that is what is expected of a drive system
for the luxury class. And of course, of an environmentally
friendly drive system. In the S 400 HYBRID, in addition to
an enhanced 6-cylinder petrol engine, an electric motor is
installed which is compact, lightweight and torquey, and
which is driven by a high-capacity lithium ion battery. The
interaction of the engines is controlled by high-performance,
intelligent electronics. If the vehicle brakes, the electric
motor becomes an alternator and produces electricity for
the lithium ion battery. If the vehicle stops, at traffic lights
for instance, the ECO start-stop function turns the combustion engine off. To start up again, the S 400 HYBRID uses
the stored kinetic energy. The current flow of energy between
the two engines is displayed in the instrument cluster.
A boost function can combine the power of both engines
for short periods of time. That increases for a short time
the already impressive agility of the luxury saloon further still.

Transmission.
The consumption and efficiency-optimised 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission stands out for its high level of efficiency, ultra-smooth gear changing,
dynamic response and reduced noise levels.
7G-TRONIC PLUS. This 7-speed automatic transmission
system combines a high level of driving comfort with
driving enjoyment and efficiency. The seven forward gears
provide a wide gear ratio range, but with small engine
speed step-ups between the individual gears. This leads to
ultra-fast gear changing with pleasantly smooth transitions.
As 7G-TRONIC PLUS can skip over individual gears, multiple
downshifts are possible, to give powerful spurts of speed.
The driving modes “Economy”, “Sport” and “Manual” allow
the style of changing – from economic to dynamic – to
be selected. Using the “Manual” mode, drivers wishing
to adopt a more sporty style of driving can change gear
manually via the DIRECT SELECT steering wheel shift
paddles – just as motorsport drivers do.
DIRECT SELECT. The DIRECT SELECT gearshift system
includes the DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering column,
with which the transmission can be changed between the
shift modes “P”, “R”, “N” and “D”. In addition to this, the
gear can be selected manually via the DIRECT SELECT
shift paddles.

Chassis & suspension.
The new S-Class is fitted with the latest-generation, enhanced AIRMATIC suspension system as standard. The innovative MAGIC BODY CONTROL – a technological
milestone, premiered in the new S-Class – is available as an alternative.
AIRMATIC (standard). Working in combination with a stepless damping control system, this air suspension system
ensures superlative road roar and tyre vibration characteristics and driving dynamics. The damping is adjusted on
each wheel to the actual driving situation and can be set
to be comfortable or sporty, as desired.
Crosswind Assist (standard). In strong, gusting crosswinds,
the vehicle is in danger of being thrust off course. The
Crosswind Assist system can recognise this and help the
driver to stay on course. Using the ESP®’s sensor system,
the brakes can be actuated automatically to correct the
vehicle’s direction. These braking interventions are performed
on the wheels on the side of the vehicle exposed to the
wind. The resulting yaw response around the vertical axis
counters the crosswind disturbance. The track offset
experienced by the vehicle is considerably reduced as
a result. Crosswind Assist therefore increases the driver’s
feeling of safety and, in particular, helps to prevent
inappropriate reactions to sudden gusts of wind.
MAGIC BODY CONTROL (option). This suspension system
provides unparalleled comfort, as it adjusts for undulations
and unevenness in the road before the car passes over them.
This is made possible by the combination of the active
springing of the suspension system with the ROAD SURFACE
SCAN function. With the aid of a stereo camera the condition of the road surface ahead is captured in detail. From
the data gleaned the system calculates in a split second
the correct strategy for adjusting in advance the damping
of each wheel so as to deal in the best possible way with
the unevenness ahead.
AIRMATIC air suspension ensures comfort and agility through its ability to
raise and lower the suspension settings as required.
Crosswind Assist improves handling by actively influencing the wheel forces.

Integral safety concept.
We are driven by the vision of accident-free driving. Our integral safety concept takes us a step closer to achieving this. It is a comprehensive approach which paves
the way for new, synergy-based technological solutions, a case in point being the “Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive” system which combines comfort and safety.
As the inventor of the motor car we feel a special responsibility for road safety. Thatʼs why we became the first car
manufacturer to develop an integral safety concept that
seamlessly combines active and passive safety measures
to provide comprehensive protection. The holistic approach
is divided up into four phases and offers safety solutions
for every situation. These include systems for safe driving,
which help prevent hazards by providing timely alerts and
assistance. Our unique PRE-SAFE® system is triggered in
response to danger and activates anticipatory measures
to protect the occupants. If a collision should occur despite
these precautionary measures, other technologies provide
the required protection. We have also considered the time
immediately after an accident by developing solutions
that can prevent serious injury and enable the emergency
services to provide rapid assistance. A selection of these
technologies for the “Safe driving”, “In the event of danger”,
“In an accident” and “After an accident” phases is presented
on the pages which follow.
Safe driving: Driving Assistance package Plus (option).
This package is made up of many safety and assistance
systems, including DISTRONIC PLUS with STEER CONTROL,
the PRE-SAFE® Brake with active pedestrian protection,
BAS PLUS Brake Assist with Cross Traffic Assist, Active Blind
Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and PRE-SAFE®
PLUS. These Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive technologies
help to take the burden off the driver, reduce the risk of
accidents and improve protection for the vehicle occupants
as well as other road users. DISTRONIC PLUS with STEER
CONTROL and Stop & Go Pilot helps the driver to maintain
a safe distance between him or herself and the vehicle in
front and to stay in the middle of the lane. The Tailback
Assist system therefore provides a high level of relief, particularly on long journeys and in traffic jams. In urban driving
in particular, BAS PLUS Brake Assist with Cross Traffic
Assist and the PRE-SAFE® Brake with active pedestrian
protection can help reduce the risk of accidents at junctions,
DISTRONIC PLUS with STEER CONTROL and Stop & Go Pilot takes the strain off the driver in both moving and stop-and-go traffic.
Safety
in stop-start traffic or involving pedestrians. Active Lane
Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist support the driver
if he or she inadvertently drifts out of or changes lane, risking
a collision with another vehicle. Through brake actuations
on one side of the vehicle, they help to manoeuvre the car back
into its lane, or to prevent an accident. Last not least, PRESAFE® PLUS is an enhancement to the preventive occupant
protection system PRE-SAFE®, containing protection
measures in the event of an impending rear impact collision.
Safe driving: Night View Assist Plus (option). Only
20 percent of all traffic travels at night, yet 40 percent of
fatal accidents occur during this time. Night View Assist
Plus makes it possible for the driver to spot people or animals
sooner in the dark. They are clearly shown up in the multifunction display in the instrument cluster. The spotlight
function causes pedestrians on either side of the road who
might be at risk to be drawn to the driver’s attention quicker,
by flashing them four times in quick succession, which
also makes the pedestrians themselves aware of the
hazardous situation. The night vision screen switches itself
on as standard if a risky situation has been detected.
Active Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas around the vehicle, issues a warning

In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® system (standard).
The system can recognise critical driving situations in
advance and activate measures to protect the occupants
if there is a risk of an accident. This includes activating
the reversible belt tensioning or the automatic closing of
open windows.
In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® PLUS (option, part of
the optional Driving Assistance package Plus). This enhancement to the PRE-SAFE® system can activate additional
preventive measures to protect the vehicle occupants if
there is a risk of a rear end collision and the vehicle is
at a standstill. This includes warning the traffic behind by

consequences of accidents.
means of the rear hazard warning lights flashing at a higher
frequency and locking the brakes if the driver indicates that
he wishes to remain stationary.
In the event of danger: BAS PLUS with Cross Traffic
Assist (option). This anticipatory system can reduce the
risk of rear end collisions and accidents at junctions. If
the system has registered a dangerous situation and the
driver activates the brakes, BAS PLUS can increase the
brake pressure appropriate to the situation, so as ideally
to avoid a collision with another vehicle or a pedestrian.
In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® Brake (option). The
PRE-SAFE® Brake helps the driver with the traffic in front
of (both moving and stationary vehicles) and behind him/her
by reducing the danger when there is a risk of a rear end
collision. The aim of the PRE-SAFE® Brake is to draw the
attention of a driver who was unaware of the danger to
the fact there is a risk of a collision occurring. PRE-SAFE®
Brake gets the information on the vehicle’s surrounds
from the long and close-range radar sensors installed in
the vehicle.
BAS PLUS with Cross Traffic Assist assists the driver with braking when it identifies a hazard to the side as well as in front of the car.
Safety
In an accident: PRE-SAFE® impulse (standard). Both the
driver and front passenger are exposed to great stresses
in a frontal collision. In the early phase of the collision,
PRE-SAFE® impulse tightens the safety belts for the front
seats. The front occupants are therefore moved in the
opposite direction to the crash direction and pulled deeper
into their seats. At the point of greatest stress the energy
is reduced in a controlled manner and the belt is loosened
again. This pre-acceleration and force limitation momentarily
remove the occupants from the force of the crash. In this
way, PRE-SAFE® impulse considerably reduces the risk of
injury.
In an accident: airbags (standard). The new S-Class has
eight airbags in total. In addition to the impact bags, there
are sidebags and windowbags for the driver and front
passenger. There are also sidebags in the rear and optional
beltbags for the outer rear seats. The beltbag, a type of
inflatable seat belt strap, reduces the strain on the chest
in a collision. If there is an accident, the beltbag strap
inflates to some three times its normal width. This spreads
the force impacting on the occupants over a greater area,
thereby reducing the strain to the chest area.
PRE-SAFE® impulse: the front seat belts can propel the front occupants away
A total of eight airbags can protect you and other vehicle occupants in the
from the collision direction in the early stages of impact.
event of an accident.
After an accident: Mercedes-Benz emergency call system
(Mercedes-Benz Connect technology, part of COMAND
Online). The system can send an automatic emergency call
via an operational telephone connected to the vehicle as
soon as the restraint system detects an accident. At the same
time GPS positioning data and other information on the
vehicle are transmitted to the Mercedes-Benz emergency
call centre. A voice connection is then established, and
the subsequent conversation can be held in the occupants’
mother tongue in nearly all cases. This makes it easier
to initiate measures to save, recover or tow the vehicle to
a Mercedes-Benz Service Support Point quickly.
Measures after an accident. In order to reduce consequential damage and, where necessary, to support the
rescue of the occupants, Mercedes-Benz has developed
further measures. These include the automatic engine
cut-off or the activation of the hazard warning lamps and
the emergency interior lighting. The central locking also
opens automatically, and crash joints between the door
and the wing make it easier to open the doors after an
accident. In addition Mercedes-Benz makes Guidelines for
Rescue Services available; helpers can download them
in different languages all over the world from the internet
at www.mercedes-benz.de/rettungsleitfaden. As you can
see, at Mercedes-Benz consideration has been given to
safety in every situation.

Assistance systems.
The new S-Class does not just influence its surroundings – it records them, with short and long-range radar, stereo and infrared cameras and ultrasound sensors working
together to give all-round vision, thereby making driving safer and more relaxing.
Stereo camera (option). This can capture objects and
pedestrians passing in front of the car and calculate the path
they will take. Intelligent algorithms evaluate the data and,
for a large area of vision, can recognise and allocate in terms
of space vehicles, pedestrians and different types of traffic
signs and road marking that are oncoming, moving ahead
or crossing the path of the car.
360° camera (option). This system allows you to park and
manoeuvre, giving you an all-round near real-time view
using four networked cameras. The vehicle and its surrounds
can be displayed in a bird’s-eye view in the COMAND
Online display; and obstacles below the level of the windows
are also displayed to the driver.
A stereo camera, close and long-range radars and all-round sensor systems form the basis for numerous safety and assistance systems in the new S-Class.
54
Parking package (option). Active Parking Assist with
PARKTRONIC and a reversing camera makes finding a parallel
or car park parking space and parking in it easier. If so
desired, it will automatically control the vehicle in parking
spaces and spares the driver the steering and braking
actions. If the driver selects reverse gear, and accepts the
space suggested, Active Parking Assist automatically performs
the required steering movements to manoeuvre the car
into the space at a speed of up to 10 km/h. All the driver has
to do is operate the accelerator and brake pedals. The parking
manoeuvre is completed in a maximum of seven moves.
Traffic Sign Assist (part of the optional COMAND Online
system. Traffic Sign Assist is set up to be country-specific.)
This assistance system can recognise speed limit and no
overtaking signs as well as the signs indicating the restriction is lifted and show these in the instrument cluster and
the map view of the COMAND display to inform the driver.
If the vehicle turns into a street displaying a no entry sign,
a visual and audible warning message is displayed/issued
in the instrument cluster (wrong-way warning).
LED Intelligent Light System (option). So as to give the
best possible view on country roads and motorways, when
turning into side roads, on bends and in fog, the low-beam
headlamps of the LED Intelligent Light System adapt automatically to weather, light and driving conditions. In main
beam mode, Adaptive Main Beam Assist Plus allows the road
surface to be illuminated in the main, without dazzling any
other road users. Part of the light cone is blanked out for
oncoming vehicles or traffic ahead. But the sides of the
road remain illuminated by the main beam. Adaptive Main
Beam Assist Plus dims itself for road signs that reflect its

these ways the LED Intelligent Light System makes an
important contribution to safe driving. This efficient technology is impressive for its low energy usage, its longevity
and for its pleasant white light, which is close to the daylight

Sitting in the new S-Class is not just comfortable, it can also increase your ability to keep driving well. Quite apart from individually climatised seats plus 60 possible
settings from the seating area through to the steering column, there is a massage function and a special relaxation cushion for the rear seat.
ENERGISING massage function (option). Six different
programmes are available, including two hot relaxing massage programmes, which can relax, stimulate or mobilise
you according to your wishes; and can be selected for both
the front and the rear seats. “Strong” or “weak” intensity
levels can be set. The speed and effect varies according to
programme. Each programme lasts between 12 and
15 minutes.
Climatised front and read seats (option). Thanks to active
ventilation, on hot days the seat ventilation can cool the
surface of the seats down quickly to a pleasant temperature.
The seat heating can be switched on on cold days to provide comforting warmth. Seat ventilation and seat heating
can be set at three levels independently of each other by
means of a switch.
Memory package (option; standard for the S 500). If there
is a frequent change of driver or front passenger, the
Memory package makes life particularly convenient. Up to
three different positions for the front seats, steering
column and exterior mirrors can be set electrically and
saved, and recalled at the touch of a button.
Executive Seat (option). With the Executive Seat, the rear
passenger on the passenger side can enjoy long journeys
as well in total relaxation. At the touch of a button, the seat
moves into a comfortable reclining position. Through
a combination of leg and foot supports, a comfortable
surface for lying down is created.
Chauffeur package (option). The front passenger seat can
be moved forward electrically by a further 77 mm. This
makes the journey for the rear passenger sitting behind
a great deal more relaxed. The appreciably larger footwell
makes it easier to find a position in which to rest; this is supported further by a footrest that can be electrically extended.

Light and climate control.
Perfection means attending to everything, even the air. The AIR-BALANCE package ionises the air and cleans and scents it with one of four atmospheric scents,
if so desired. In this way, it does not need to be down solely to the ambient lighting to create a first class relaxing or stimulating S-Class atmosphere.
Ambient lighting (option, standard for the long wheelbase
version and the S 500). With its pleasant and indirect
light, the ambient lighting creates a unique feeling of wellbeing throughout the whole of the interior. Seven different
colours and five dimming levels are available to create
a personalised lighting ambience.
AIR-BALANCE package (option). The vehicle interior can
be given a very individual scent with the AIR-BALANCE
package. Four different and sophisticated scents are available to choose from according to your personal taste.
Over and above this the air quality can be improved through
ionising with oxygen and filtering the air from outside
the vehicle.
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control (standard).
With two climate zones and three air flow settings, the
automatic climate control creates an individual climate of
well-being on board. The driver and passenger can set
their temperatures independently of each other. There are
five different and separate settings for the temperature
of the footwells in the front. An active carbon filter for fine
dust keeps dust, soot and pollen at bay and reduces smells
and pollutants in the air.
The AIR-BALANCE package, which is inclusive of ionisation, air filtering and scenting, provides first class S-Class air quality.

Roof systems and privacy.
The roof systems and tinted side windows on the new S-Class provide the ideal conditions for working and relaxing. If so desired, the panorama roof will open up
in stages to reveal the sun. The tinted panes of glass keep both its heat and the unwanted attention of people outside the vehicle at bay.
Panoramic sliding sunroof (option). With its large glazed
areas, this roof system provides a particularly bright and
friendly ambience in the interior. It consists, in the rear, of
a fixed panoramic glass sunroof; and at the front of an
electrically operated outer sliding glass roof. In addition,
two electric roller blinds afford the passengers some
shade when the sun is shining strongly. Two practical features
of the panoramic sliding sunroof ensure a high degree of
drive comfort. The glass roof automatically adjusts the
height at which it is raised to the current vehicle speed. At
higher speed the glass roof lowers itself, thereby lowering
the noise level and air circulation. The opposite occurs at
low speeds. The panoramic sliding sunroof also reacts by
itself to rain: if it is open at the time, it automatically goes
into the tilt position and stops water getting into the interior.
When the vehicle has been switched off, the panoramic
sliding sunroof can be opened and closed from outside
the vehicle. The “summer opening” and “convenience
closing” functions can be activated by the electronic ignition key, by pressing the appropriate buttons for longer.
If the interior has been heated up by the sun’s rays, this
function can be used to ventilate the vehicle prior to getting
in. To do this, the side windows open and close in addition
to the glass roof. The panoramic sliding sunroof has an
obstruction sensor to prevent a hand, for example, being
caught in it. If the system senses something in the way, it
immediately ceases closing the roof and retracts it a little,
along with the sunblinds, if appropriate.
Tinted heat insulating glass (option). Tinted heat insulating
glass for the rear windows protects passengers in the rear
from unwelcome attention and/or direct sunshine. At the
same time the tinted glass emphasises the sportiness
of the vehicle.

S 63 AMG exterior.
Power, endurance and speed are the calling cards of the S 63 AMG – as is evident from the first glance. Where the exclusivity of the new S-Class is taken to an even
higher level by the expressiveness of AMG.
The S 63 AMG is powered by a V8 biturbo engine with
430 kW (585 hp) output and 900 Nm of torque. It is recognisable from the “V8 biturbo” lettering on the wing. Its power
is controlled by an AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports
transmission system with a Controlled Efficiency drive mode
and a stop-start function. An AMG sports suspension for
the long wheelbase version based on AIRMATIC ensures
maximum comfort even when driving dynamically.

S 63 AMG technology.
AMG means having a drive system that will surpass itself time and again. Take the new S 63 AMG, for instance: lower emissions, lower fuel consumption, increased performance
with 430 kW (585 hp) and 900 Nm torque. And on top of all this: the AMG drive system is available for the first time in conjunction with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
The systematic use of lightweight materials has resulted in
the S 63 AMG being 100 kilograms lighter than its predecessor. This was achieved through using carbon-fibre and
innovative materials, a lithium ion battery and weight-optimised wheels and tyres. This has resulted in lowered consumption, lower emissions and even more dynamic driving
characteristics. As a technical highlight, the performanceoriented AMG 4MATIC all-wheel drive system is available
exclusively for the S-Class long-wheelbase version for the
first time. Front to rear axle power distribution of 1/3 to
2/3 provides the high level of driving dynamics and the huge
amount of driving pleasure so typical of an AMG model.
It also improves handling on wet road surfaces, and effortlessly transfers the enormous AMG power to the road in
dry conditions. The AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports
transmission with a wet clutch helps to boost performance
and is designed to be driven sportily – without any compromises on comfort.
Systematic use of lightweight materials and intelligent detailed solutions have made the new S 63 AMG even sportier yet more economical than its predecessor.

The many appointments and equipment options offered by
the AMG Performance Studio serve to make the S 63 AMG
even more exclusive. An AMG ceramic high-performance
composite brake system is available for the first time for
the S-Class, for example. It not only ensures the shortest
of stopping distances and the greatest creep strength, but
also offers braking performance normally to be found in
motorsport. The AMG carbon-fibre engine cover and red
brake callipers also add to the sporty look and feel of
the car. The AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre package gives the
S 63 AMG a sophisticated appearance with many highquality carbon-fibre trim elements, such as the inserts in
the front and rear aprons, side skirts and exterior mirror
housing. The AMG twin-spoke forged wheels in high sheen
titanium grey are equally expressive; alternatively, they are
available in a 10-spoke design with a polished titanium grey
finish or a matt black finish, in all cases with 255/40 R 20
front tyres and 285/35 R 20 rear tyres and elaborate

Equipment & appointments
For an ambience with a maritime feel to it, into which captains
of industry would also be glad to sink, there are appointments in deep sea blue/silk beige1, 2, 3 which are exclusively
available for the Edition 1. The diamond-patterned seats
with contrast stitching and piping are finished in deep sea
blue nappa leather. The centre console, instrument panel,
doors and roof lining in silk beige provide an aesthetic
contrast to the dark-coloured leather. The high-gloss sunburst brown myrtle trim4 calls to mind high-quality musical
instruments.

From the very first glance, the crystal grey/seashell grey
colour scheme is characterised by simple elegance.
The light-coloured trim in designo metallised ash wood
and the elaborate pattern on the seats are all touched
by the breath of luxury. Even the steering wheel and centre
console are in light-coloured leather, thereby stopping,
along with the seats, the onslaught of heat and making
the new S-Class an optimal business saloon, even on
days of high summer.

Genuine accessories.
A Mercedes-Benz is more than just a car. It can be a travel companion, an office, a living space. And this diversity is reflected in the Mercedes-Benz genuine accessories range.
Enjoy your travels even more – that’s the motto of the
Mercedes-Benz genuine accessories programme for the new
S-Class. Four scents are offered for the optional AIRBALANCE package, which will ensure a pleasant atmosphere
in the interior. The distinctive rear spoiler and 5-spoke
19-inch alloy wheels1 in high-sheen tremolite metallic, with
245/45 R 19 front tyres and 275/40 R 19 tyres for the
rear are available to make an even more striking entrance –
their design is a real eyecatcher, and not just when stationary. To transport all you need for your leisure activities you
need a convenient carrier system. The New Alustyle basic
carrier is a flexible option for transporting sports equip-
ment and items of luggage, for example. Combine the basic
carrier with a range of different roof attachments, such as
the “Comfort” ski and snowboard holder. This offers space
for up to six pairs of skis or four snowboards. Its practical
pull-out function facilitates loading and unloading.
The four scents in the AIR-BALANCE package sweeten the air in the new S-Class.

Roll up those sleeves and get stuck into the job to be done –
while sitting in the lap of luxury. Roll up the garage doors on the
grey light of dawn ready to work hard – step out onto the red
carpet at night ready to play hard. View the rising sun from the
driver’s seat – and the setting sun from the reclining seat in
the rear. The new S-Class brings together the worlds of work
and leisure at a hitherto undreamed-of level. The choice of
materials, the degree of perfection and exclusivity in the interior
surpass expectations for a vehicle of this class. And it is simply
in the new S-Class’s DNA to shine with technical innovations
hitherto unseen in a car. The ultra-intelligent chassis seems to
flatten down the road ahead; the lighting, using new technologies
and a 360° sensor system, illuminates the surrounds with
a speed and precision never seen before. You will see it, sense
it and experience it for yourself: the new S-Class shows the
way ahead – to the future of autonomous driving.
