As crazy as it sounds some are about 6" shorter than most. I drive a 2000 W220 and I parked it next to a 2000 S500 at a local dealer and it was shorter. The difference is the back seat and trunk. I sat in it and it was much more crammed. Also the seats sit straight up no lean in back. Not many but they are here...

It does not look right

That's impossible. The 2006 S350 was the only SWB W220 available. The others were all LWB V220.

I'm not just saying it look at how some W220's just look well different. They don't look like the C-Class someone posted they look exactly the same front to back just shorter.

In the Philippines a lot of W220 SWBs were sold as the S280, most of the S320s and bigger engined W220s were of the LWB variety

It wasn't possible to get a W220 S280 with the LWB in the UK. I seem to remember that when looking at the brochures when my father bought a W220.

That looks AMAZING, it looks 1000x better like that. A swb S600 or S65, now that would be amazing!

^your car is pretty sick too, so clean. Shouldn't it be possible to import an swb over here, considering that they sold a "significantly similar" model over here? Most S's in europe are short, but might be hard to find a 600.

Fraser

In the UK at least the S600 was only available as LWB.

Haven't driven a w220 but owned and drive 3 w126. 2 were Long and 1 was standard. The shorter one drives much better. Cornering feels much easier and 'normal', and acceleration is better. The long ones do feel like driving a 'limo'. They all had the same interior so it's purely the driving that makes the difference for me.

We'll there's a lot more rear seat room In the lwb cars so the interior isn't the same , it's where the change is noticed

i have seen an s320 in atl and i was dumbfounded, so i got close to look at it.
