Pics 1 and 2 are definitely computer generated, I remember them in Auto Motor und Sport (and then of course Auto Bild) from a few months back.
As for pic 3... I keep seeing this (and variations, i.e.: different angles) of the same pic being touted as the upcoming S Class, but I'm not so convinced.
Take a look at the upper part of the dash for example, its more clear in another photo I've seen, but the instrument cluster and what is presumably the display for the navigation are joined under one hood... What other German marque 1) has the same, conjoined design and 2) wears a circular badge? No points for correct guesses.
With that in mind, look at the way the middle-lower part of the dash slopes inwards progressively. Then look at the steering wheel and note the two stalks behind it, I've been in Benzes long enough to know that the single stalk (we're not counting the midget versions for cruise control, voice control, steering wheel angle adjustment, etc.) for the indicators, wipers, etc., are a defining feature (unless their throwing that tradition out the window now). The only other defining feature could be the buttons, but they're obscured, and besides are changed so often anyway.
Anyway, my two cents. Could be the face-lift 7 maybe?
