Vision accomplished. The 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 in the
morning 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 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 car of this class.
And it is simply in the 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 surroundings with a speed and precision never seen
before. You will see it, sense it and experience it for yourself:
the S-Class shows the way ahead – to the future of mobility.

“The office awaits” – a promise with a pleasant undertone. For even
when it comes to the matter of work the S-Class is an oasis. With an
air of a purity reminiscent of the coast or forested mountain slopes.
Pollutants have to stay outside; ionisation enriches the air in the interior of
the luxury saloon. You inhale freedom. Even if you currently find yourself between a handful of skyscrapers and two important appointments.

When can a moment not be surpassed? Or a car? Intense light showcases the immaculate trim.
Richly contrasting materials blend to form harmonious surfaces. Exclusive design sparkles with
optimum functionality and a predilection for detail. Your glance sweeps through the generous
space and your hands rest for a few seconds on the timelessly classic leather of the seats. Before
you alight, sure in the knowledge that the perfect day is simply a question of the right vehicle.

Driven by petrol.
And electricity. And a wealth of innovations.
The PLUG-IN HYBRID technology in the S 500 e serves up a mix of 325 kW
system performance, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds
and combined fuel consumption of 2.8 l/100 km. Thanks to the intelligent
interaction between the internal combustion engine and the electric
motor, the luxury saloon achieves fuel consumption figures that would have
scarcely been thought possible just a few years ago. Without having to
make compromises on the drive power that is a hallmark of this segment.
20
21
As comfortable as you would expect from an S-Class. The
operating and driving modes of the S 500 e can be conveniently
controlled via two separate switches in the centre console.
And because the climate should also leave nothing to be desired
in this comfort zone, the pre-entry climate control sets the
interior temperature to the required level before the driver
even gets into the car.

It takes three extraordinary letters to crown an 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 Mercedes-AMG S 63.
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 Mercedes-AMG S 63 an
air of exclusive sportiness.

31
success. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class delivers perfect proof
of your ability to combine outstandingly high-quality work
with the more pleasurable things in life. For many, the true
definition of luxury.

The greatness of a vision becomes apparent in reality.
The Mercedes-Maybach S 600 Pullman is more than the continuation
of a splendid and unique history. It is the renewal of a prestigious saloon
of historic proportions. With an overall length of 6.49 metres the new
Mercedes-Maybach S 600 Pullman leaves everything in the shade and blends
the most discerning standards regarding exclusivity and individuality with
spaciousness that couldn’t be more comfortable.

Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive.
Looking ahead. Thinking ahead.
Placing your hands on the steering wheel connects you with all the senses.
The sophisticated on-board and exterior sensors look into the immediate
future for you, draw their conclusions, can react with lightning speed and
are thus able to prevent accidents. Thanks to radar sensors and a stereo
camera, powerful processors and high-tech assistance systems. And years
of relentless research. Another Mercedes-Benz milestone for more safety
and comfort on the road and an important step on the road towards
autonomous driving. What will the future bring? The more we research, the
more new perspectives open up. That’s how it is with a vision. There
comes a time when you need a new one. For the future.
36
Masterpiece of
chassis engineering.
37
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. Revolutionary? Innovative? Visionary? We call it MAGIC BODY CONTROL. This
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.
On the basis of these image data and the information on the driving conditions, the system
calculates the appropriate strategy in a fraction of a second – that is, in real time. To an
accuracy of one or 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, bumps in the road can be almost completely absorbed. Up to
a speed of 130 km/h. Even when cornering, the system always knows what lies ahead.
38
When you’re driving in the 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 true meaning
of spaciousness. The measure of all things, which adjusts itself to you, supports
your legs and bolsters your back. From the six massage programs 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 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 out of a space specially created for you: the S-Class
39
First-class business class.
40
Light has never been so focused.
41
There is nothing we won’t try in our quest to revolutionise every
area of automotive engineering and be the first to bring new
technologies to the road. 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 LED-based lighting
technology must illuminate the road surface better, the light
temperature must be agreeable and the lights must use up less
energy than conventional headlamps. S-Class lighting must do
more than that. It must interact with the various sensor and assistance systems, such as optional Adaptive Highbeam Assist.
The result: if an oncoming vehicle or a vehicle in front 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.

3 June 1934 marked the beginning of the Silver Arrows legend in the International Eifel Race at
the Nürburgring. Today this legend is more alive than ever: in 2015 the Silver Arrows works team
MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS won the Formula 1 constructors’ and drivers’ titles for the second
year in a row. The value of these successes extends way beyond the race track: every mile raced
advances the development of lightweight materials and hybrid technology, among other things,

Diesel and petrol engines.
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 your driving enjoyment – no matter what
drive system you opt for.
V6 engine. With an output of 190 kW (258 hp) and a
maximum torque of 620 Nm the S 350 d has a consumption
from a mere 5.3 l per 100 km. The CO2 output is just
155–139 g/km. Where the petrol engines are concerned
the S 400 4MATIC, with an output of 245 kW (333 hp)
and a maximum torque of 480 Nm, has a consumption
from 8.4 l per 100 km.
V8 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 emit its
characteristic, unmistakeably sonorous and accom
plished sound, but fuel consumption stays exceptionally low.
V12 engine. At the summit of the engine range the
V12 biturbo engine combines fast responsiveness with
environmental awareness: it meets the requirements
of the Euro 6 emissions standard and features the ECO
start/stop function. This is how the V12 engine saves
fuel – yet is generous with superlatives: 830 Nm of torque
is on tap from below 2000 rpm. Its 390 kW (530 hp)
accelerate the car from a standstill to 100 km/h in a mere
4.6 seconds.

S 300 h and S 400 h.
The particularly efficient and environmentally responsible hybrid drives combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. The interaction of the engines is
controlled by high-performance, intelligent electronics. During each braking procedure the electric motor produces power for the battery – this further reduces the fuel
consumption.
Responsible, comfortable and dynamic at the same
time – these things are expected of a drive system for a
luxury-class car. In the S 300 h Mercedes-Benz combines
the 150 kW 2.2-litre 4-cylinder diesel engine with a 20 kW
hybrid module (204 hp + 27 hp). Combined fuel consumption can be as low as 4.3 litres per 100 km. These figures
are possible thanks to efficiency-enhancing measures
such as intelligent lightweight construction, tyres with low
rolling resistance and a cd value of 0.23.
In the S 400 h, the enhanced 6-cylinder petrol engine is
supplemented by a compact, lightweight and torquey hybrid
module which is driven by a high-capacity lithium-ion
battery. This drive system delivers an output of 225 kW +
20 kW (306 hp + 27 hp) and, in combination with the
hybrid module, allows fuel consumption as low as 6.0 l
per 100 km.
The S 300 h and S 400 h easily meet the requirements of
the Euro 6 emissions standard, of course. Furthermore,
both engines fulfil the strict criteria of efficiency class A
and even class A+ in the case of the S 300 h.

Drive system and chassis
S 500 e.
Running on just 2.8 litres of fuel per 100 kilometres and with CO2 emissions of only 65 g per kilometre, the luxury saloon with PLUG-IN HYBRID technology sets new
benchmarks thanks to its outstanding fuel efficiency. The 85 kW electric drive with an externally chargeable battery enables all-electric ride comfort over a distance of
up to 33 kilometres.
In the S 500 e, Mercedes-Benz has created a combined
combustion engine/electric motor system which is even
more efficient than the hybrid modules available to date.
The reason for this: a considerably more powerful lithium-ion
high-voltage battery, which can additionally be charged
via external power sources. With its 8.7 kWh it is capable of
driving the 85 kW electric motor over a distance of more
than 30 kilometres and up to a top speed of 140 km/h. This
means that the 3.0-litre V6 turbo engine rated at 480 Nm
can be fully replaced by the electric motor over certain
stretches. An anticipatory energy management system
supports full exploitation of the benefits of both the engine
and the electric motor.
The accelerator pedal becomes a saving pedal. The
intelligent haptic accelerator pedal uses gentle counterpressure to subtly point out to the driver when the
combustion engine switches on. The output can be better
metered thanks to this pressure point. This intelligent
combination of combustion engine and electric motor
ultimately results in extremely low fuel consumption
of only 2.8 l/100 km. And this innovation benefits not only
you, but the environment, too. Our high-torque luxury saloon
with a total system power of 325 kW has CO2 emissions
of just 65 g/km. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class can therefore
boast CO2 emissions that are even lower than those of
some microcars.

Transmissions.
The consumption and efficiency-optimised 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission and the innovative 9G-TRONIC transmission stand out by virtue of their high level of
efficiency, ultra-smooth gear changing, dynamic response and reduced noise levels.
7G-TRONIC PLUS. This 7-speed automatic transmission
combines a high level of comfort with driving pleasure and
efficiency. The seven forward gears allow a wide ratio
spread with low engine speed increments between the individual gears. This results in lightning-fast, fuel-efficient
gear changes with pleasantly smooth transitions. As the
7G-TRONIC PLUS is able to skip individual gears, multiple
downshifts are possible for fast and powerful sprints. The
shift characteristics can be preset from economical to
dynamic with the transmission modes “Economy”, “Sport”
and “Manual”. In “Manual” mode, drivers with sporty inclinations can switch gears manually using the DIRECT SELECT
steering wheel gearshift paddles – as in motorsport.
AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS 7G-TRONIC (standard for
Mercedes-AMG S 65) and AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed
sports transmission (standard for Mercedes-AMG S 63/
4MATIC). With seven speeds and three modes, these transmissions based on the 7G-TRONIC PLUS enable extremely
dynamic acceleration on one hand and a fuel-saving mode
of driving on the other. An automatic double-declutching
function provides for a more emotively appealing experience and increases handling safety.
DIRECT SELECT. The DIRECT SELECT gearshift includes
the DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering column which
serves to shift between P, R, N and D. It is additionally
possible to change gear manually using the DIRECT SELECT
shift paddles.
9G-TRONIC (standard for S 350 d/4MATIC, S 500/4MATIC,
and Mercedes-Maybach S 500). The world’s first ninespeed automatic transmission with a hydrodynamic torque
converter in the premium segment combines efficiency,
comfort and dynamism in a hitherto unseen way. The high
overall efficiency reduces fuel consumption and emissions
by up to 6.5% compared to the 7G-TRONIC PLUS. Faster gear
changes lead to a more immediate response and enhanced
agility. At the same time, the 9G-TRONIC impresses with its
smooth, barely perceptible gear shifting.
DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering column. The driver can also change up
or down a gear manually using the additional shift paddles.
Drive system and chassis
Chassis and suspension.
The 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 S-Class – is available as an alternative.
AIRMATIC (standard). Whether its setting is sporty or comfortable, the AIRMATIC air suspension with its continuously
variable damping system adjusts the damping power at
every wheel to suit the current situation and the condition
of the road. The all-round self-levelling integrated into the
system ensures virtually constant ground clearance, even
when the car is laden, and thus more stability and comfort.
Crosswind Assist (standard). In strong, gusty crosswinds
there is a danger of the car being blown off course. Crosswind Assist is able to recognise this and help the driver to
keep the car on course. Using the ESP® sensor system,
course-correcting brake actuation is performed automatically. This brake actuation takes place at the wheels on the
side of the car facing the crosswind. The resulting yawing
motion around the vertical axis counters the effect of the
crosswind. This reduces track offset considerably. In this
way Crosswind Assist gives the driver a greater feeling of
safety and helps to avoid inappropriate reactions, especially
when sudden gusts strike the car.
MAGIC BODY CONTROL (option, standard for S 600,
Mercedes-AMG S 65 and Mercedes-Maybach S 600). This
dynamics-oriented suspension system already adjusts
to surface undulations before the car drives over them. This
is made possible by the combination of the active spring
ing 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.
The full-support semi-active AIRMATIC air suspension system with continuously variable damping system combines high suspension and ride comfort
with outstanding driving dynamics.

Integral safety concept.
We are driven by our vision of accident-free motoring. Our integral safety concept brings us a step closer to achieving this aim – a holistic approach which paves the way
for new synergy-based technological solutions such as “Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive”, which combines comfort and safety.
As the inventor of the car we feel that we have a special
responsibility for road safety. That’s why we were the first
automotive manufacturer to develop an integral safety
concept that seamlessly links active and passive safety
measures to provide comprehensive protection. The allencompassing approach is divided into four phases and pro
vides safety solutions for any situation. It includes systems
for safe driving, which help prevent danger thanks to their
ability to warn and assist the driver in plenty of time. Our
systematically enhanced PRE-SAFE® system comes into play
in the event of danger and activates anticipatory measures for occupant protection. If, despite all the preventive
measures, a collision is unavoidable, further technologies
can provide protection to suit the circumstances. We’ve
even thought about the time immediately after an accident and developed solutions to prevent a worsening of the
situation and facilitate rapid assistance.
Safe driving: Driving Assistance package Plus (option,
standard for Mercedes-AMG S 63, Mercedes-AMG S 65,
S 600 and Mercedes-Maybach S 600). This package comprises numerous safety and assistance systems such as
DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot,
the PRE-SAFE® Brake, BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist,
Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and
PRE-SAFE® PLUS. These Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive
technologies help to relieve driver strain, reduce the risk of
accident and improve protection for both the occupants and
other road users. DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist
and Stop&Go Pilot helps the driver to keep a safe distance
from the vehicle in front and also to remain in the centre
of the lane. In this way, the system provides a great deal
of stress-relieving comfort, especially on long journeys
and when following vehicles in a traffic jam. BAS PLUS with
Cross-Traffic Assist and the PRE-SAFE® Brake can reduce
the risk of accidents at junctions, rear-end collisions and
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 following pages.
DISTRONIC PLUS with Steering Assist and Stop&Go Pilot takes the strain off the driver in both moving and stop-and-go traffic.
Safety
collisions with pedestrians, particularly in urban traffic.
Active Lane Keeping Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist
provide assistance if the car leaves its lane unintention
ally or during lane changes if there is a danger of collision
with other vehicles. One-sided brake actuation can help
return the car to its lane and prevent an accident.
Safe driving: Night View Assist Plus (option). While the
night-time accounts for only 20 percent of all traffic volume,
40 percent of all fatal accidents happen during that time.
Night View Assist Plus enables drivers to detect pedestrians
or larger animals sooner in the dark. They are clearly
shown on the instrument display of the widescreen cockpit.
A world first here is the combination of two infrared cam
eras which provide for a particularly high-resolution image
and a precise thermal image signature. The Spotlight
function enables endangered pedestrians across the entire
width of the road to be flashed at four times, so that the
driver registers them even more quickly and the pedestrians
themselves recognise the danger. As standard, the night
view image only appears automatically when a hazardous
situation is detected.

In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® preventive occupant
protection system (standard). The preventive occupant
protection system is able to identify critical driving situations
in advance and to activate safety systems by way of precaution. To this end, the PRE-SAFE® system continuously
evaluates the data from systems such as ESP® and BAS,
enabling it to intervene in driving situations such as severe
oversteer/understeer and emergency stops. If a critical
driving situation is detected, in fractions of a second the
belts on the front seats can be reversibly tensioned and
the side windows automatically closed, so that the belts and
airbags are able to deploy their best possible protective
effect should an impact occur.
The PRE-SAFE® anticipatory occupant protection system can help to mitigate
the consequences of accidents.
In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® PLUS (part of the
optional Driving Assistance package Plus). If a rear impact
threatens when at a standstill, this extension of the
PRE-SAFE® system is able to initiate additional preventive
occupant protection measures. These include warning
the following traffic by activating the rear hazard warning
lights at high frequency and locking the vehicle brakes
when at a standstill if the system detects that the driver
wishes to remain stationary.
In the event of danger: BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic
Assist (part of the optional Driving Assistance package
Plus). The BAS PLUS anticipatory Brake Assist system
determines the necessary brake pressure to avoid a
collision or reduce the severity of an impending accident
and, if the level of brake force applied by the driver is too
weak, provides the required level, if necessary right up to
full brake application. BAS PLUS is also able to intervene
to provide support in situations involving crossing vehicles.
The system additionally detects pedestrians in the area
in front of the car and can boost the driver’s braking as
necessary here as well.
In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® Brake with pedestrian
detection (part of the optional Driving Assistance package
Plus). PRE-SAFE® Brake assists the driver in convoy traffic
(vehicles in front or stationary obstacles) when a rear-end
collision threatens and the driver shows no responses to
counter the danger. The aim is to warn an inattentive
driver of an imminent rear-end collision. PRE-SAFE® Brake
obtains its situational information from on-board longrange and short-range radar sensors. It additionally allows
detection of pedestrians when used in conjunction with
a stereo camera. This means that collisions with pedestrians
can be avoided up to a speed of 50 km/h.
Safety
In an accident: PRE-SAFE® impulse (standard). In the early
phase of a front impact, PRE-SAFE® impulse tensions the
seat belts of the front seats. In the process the front seat
occupants are already drawn slightly more deeply into
their seats against the direction of the impact. When the
peak loads occur, this belt retraction is relaxed as a
controlled process. Pre-acceleration and force limitation
enable the occupants to be temporarily isolated from
the crash. This allows PRE-SAFE® impulse to further reduce
the risk of injury.
In an accident: airbags (standard). The S-Class has eight
airbags as standard in total. In addition to the front airbags,
there are also sidebags and windowbags for the driver and
front passenger. There are additionally sidebags and
windowbags in the rear plus optional beltbags for the outer
rear seats.
In an accident: beltbag (option). The airbag integrated
in the belt strap on the outer rear seats can reduce the
stresses on the thorax in the event of an impact. Should
such a collision occur, the beltbag strap inflates to many
times its normal width. This means that the loads acting
on the occupants can be distributed over a wider area, in
order to correspondingly reduce the loads on the chest area.
PRE-SAFE® impulse: the seat belts can move the front occupants away from
A total of eight airbags as standard can protect you and other car occupants in

the event of an accident.
After an accident: Mercedes-Benz emergency call
system1. The system can send an automatic emergency
call via a communication module with its own SIM card
as soon as the restraint system detects a serious accident.
A mobile phone is not required for this. The emergency
call can be initiated automatically or manually and will be
relayed to the Mercedes-Benz emergency call number
which is available in most European countries. The system
establishes a voice connection with the Mercedes-Benz
emergency call centre, and also transmits the car’s location
data, thus reducing the time needed to initiate rescue,
recovery or towing action.
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 automatic engine
cut-off and activation of the hazard warning lamps and
interior emergency illumination. The central locking can
unlock automatically, and crash gaps between the door and
wing can make it easier to open the doors after a frontal
impact. Mercedes-Benz also provides multilingual rescue
guidelines which emergency services can download online
worldwide at www.mercedes-benz.de/rettungsleitfaden. As
you can see, at Mercedes-Benz consideration has been
given to safety in every situation.

the LED Intelligent Light System automatically adapt to the
weather, lighting and driving conditions. Adaptive Highbeam
Assist Plus allows continuous long-range illumination of the
road ahead without dazzling oncoming traffic or vehicles in
front. Plus the high beam is dimmed automatically for road
signs that reflect its light back strongly. The LED Intelligent
Light System thus makes a key contribution to safe driving.
Stereo camera (part of the Driving Assistance package
Plus). It can record three-dimensionally objects and pedestrians crossing in front of the car and calculate their
path. Intelligent algorithms evaluate this information and

S 600 Guard.
Nothing comes close to it: the new special-protection vehicle meets all the requirements of the highest resistance level VR9.
→ www.mercedes-benz.com/guard
The S 600 Guard is the result of a philosophy that is valid
to this day and followed systematically: factory-integrated
protection. For eight decades we have been working
together closely with internationally recognised authorities
to ensure that the Mercedes-Benz Guard models are even
better equipped to offer their occupants the best possible
level of protection.
Every Guard vehicle is initially designed as a data model.
It is then tested as a prototype in extensive trials and the
extreme load-bearing capacity of bodywork and chassis,
the ballistic resistance and the correct operation of all its
safety systems are studied in crash tests. The customer
vehicles are then created in a unique production process in
our Mercedes-Benz Guard centres of competence. This
systematic procedure leads to the “integrated protection
concept” of Mercedes-Benz Guard.
As early as the bodyshell stage, protective components
made of special steel are integrated into the cavities.
Underbody armouring is also integrated. Special aramide
and PE components provide additional splinter protection.
Intelligently designed overlapping systems at particularly
critical points such as joints and transitional areas provide
comprehensive ballistic protection.
With its sophisticated and strong protective system, the
S 600 Guard has immediately met all the personal protection
requirements of the relevant authorities in Germany, and
is the first vehicle to have been certified for highest ballistic
protection in resistance class VR9.
dimensions such as entry height and door apertures. In
addition, as the only car in this segment, the S 600 Guard
is available both as a 4-seater and as a fully-fledged
5-seater, and offers unrestricted day-to-day suitability by
virtue of a 350-litre boot capacity and high payload.
Despite the extensive protection measures, the S 600 Guard
is barely distinguishable from its series-production counterpart on the outside. As the car is hardly recognisable as
an armoured saloon, it meets a further important requirement for special protection vehicles: maximum discretion
through unobtrusiveness.
Thanks to the intelligently integrated armouring, the Guard
version retains the first-class ambience of the S-Class
Saloon for its occupants. The S 600 Guard excels with exemplary headroom and elbow room in the rear, and is also
in a class of its own in this segment in terms of comfort

Mercedes-AMG S 63 technical details.
Mercedes-AMG means having a drive system which will surpass itself time and again. As demonstrated by the Mercedes-AMG S 63 AMG: reduced emissions, lower fuel
consumption and a further improvement in performance with an output of 430 kW (585 hp) and 900 Nm of torque.
The systematic use of lightweight materials has resulted
in the Mercedes-AMG S 63 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, resulting in lowered
consumption, lower emissions and even more dynamic driving characteristics. 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 character
istic of a Mercedes-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 Mercedes-AMG S 63 even sportier yet more economical than its predecessor.

triangular windows and the rear apron further add to the
elegant appearance of the luxury saloon. As do the two
standard-fit twin tailpipe trims and the optionally available
forged wheels.
Driving comfort has no upper limits in the
Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. As evidenced by the standardfit panoramic sliding sunroof with optional MAGIC SKY
CONTROL. The roof changes colour at the touch of a button
from dark to transparent and vice versa in a matter of
seconds. When the large glass surfaces turn transparent,
the passengers can enjoy an exceptionally light and

The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class is 207 mm longer than
the long-wheelbase S-Class. So you can enjoy even more

and the panoramic sliding sunroof. At the touch of a button
the optional MAGIC SKY CONTROL creates an al fresco feel

two-piece panoramic sliding sunroof changes from dark to
transparent and vice versa in a matter of seconds. The
transparency of the two sections of the roof can be changed
independently for each section. Two high-end folding tables
transform the business console of the optional First-Class
rear suite into a desk. And exceptionally stylish touches are
added by the Exclusive trim package in fine wood, available

Paintwork.
The paint system developed by Mercedes-Benz includes
one of the best clear coats on the automotive market and
is a key factor behind the car’s excellent value retention.
Its secret is the exceptionally thick molecular structure,
which makes the metallic or non-metallic clear coat
more resistant and produces a longer-lasting and visibly
more intensive shine.
