S350 Questions…
S350 Questions…
Anyone have an idea how soon the U.S. market would receive the new S350? Also, could someone convert these numbers over for me?
Horsepower: kW 200 @ 6,000 RPM
Torque: Nm 350 @ 2,400-5,000 RPM
Thank you

Well the new W221 S350 has 272hp and 258lb-ft of torque, but there hasn't been any mention of it coming here. I doubt that it will. The only 6-cylinder S-Class likely to come to the U.S. is the S320 CDI.
