S-Class ‘More Than Just a Car,’ Says Mercedes-Benz
M-B’s 11th-generation W223 S-Class finally unveiled, resets the luxury car world yet again.
The all-new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is here! The brand new 11th-generation W223 was this morning revealed in a digital reveal that promises to yet again reset the luxury car world with a capital S. The slick presentation did well to emphasise all of what seems to be the new luxury leader’s strongest points.
Built in an all-new super-high-tech factory in the heart of Mercedes world in Stuttgart, the a as a central element of the new limo’s splendid yacht-like cabin dominated by an all-new 11.9-inch central big-screen. The latest ‘Hey Mercedes’ system now also individually supports each of the S-Class’s occupants
Among its latest tech innovations, the big Benz can now connect to all your smart home systems too, so you can turn on the sensual lights in the master bedroom and get the shower running to the perfect temp from your car. That’s courtesy of the new S-Class’ Personal Assistant, which of course also turns your Mercedes into a car office.
Superyacht-inspired,Über high-tech Cabin
Its cabin has to be one of the biggest new S-Class highlights. Mercedes describes it as “like coming home.” The car not only instantly recognises you to set its entire self up to your exact wan. All-new seats of course include every plausible adjustment, massage function and luxury and now even whisper 4D sound and Alicia Keys was even on hand to underline its ultimate audio sensation.
Described as sensually pure, the images do well to illustrate a cabin flush with sumptuous yards of plush, pleated leather, intermingled with Riva powerboat-like surfaces. It all looks very much the brilliant part. A completely reimagined steering that yet again progresses car-to-man interface to altogether another level, appears to have escaped a sci-fi set.
Like the rest of the subtly integrated high tech bits, of course. Something those Stuttgart suits define as human centric innovation. They promise that it’s a holistic luxury relationship, in which your car actually knows you…
Record-low Drag
All of that is gently ensconced in a design that Merc styling capo Wagener puts forward as a superior cab-back look, exasperated by the new S-Class’s long wheelbase and generous dimensions.
Gorden seemed chuffed with his latest charge’s slick 0.22 Cd drag coefficient and classy hi tech grille encompassing all those artificially intelligent sensors. Snazzy new smaller, fatter 3-dot Digital Light headlamps immediately set your S-Class apart, and of course pack the very best in modern illumination tech too. As do those über-detailed taillights.
Mercedes boss Källennius then alluded to all that in a clip while riding in the back, whispering romantically as he emphasised the new car’s incredible quietness ‘at Autobahn speeds’. Sensual purity at its best…?
Then Lewis Hamilton pitched up and beckoned his S to un-park and drive itself to him. Mercedes promises that this car’s owners will likely never ever get to appreciate all of its best hidden tech.
Close to fully autonomous, the new S-Class is level 4 ready. Which basically means that all it needs is a fuse or something to ensure that no driver is needed.
