Things to Know

the
New S-Class

The Car
"Rather than being about safety or aesthetics, power or efciency, comfort or
dynamism, our aspirations were 'the best or nothing' in every respect. No other
car stands for the Mercedes-Benz brand promise more than the S-Class."—Dr.
Dieter Zetsche, chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and head of
Mercedes-Benz Cars.
Without question, the Mercedes S-Class, given that Daimler has taken the über-lux
Maybach out of production, is the top-of-the-line vehicle for the company. With the
development of the new S-Class, the company has set a vast cadre of designers and
engineers to work on creating and crafting a car that essentially encompasses much
of what the organization knows about automotive technology at the highest levels.
