2011 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Review
Overview
Innovation elegance the S Class. One of our most advanced engines the 5.5 liter V8 generates 382 horsepower and the S600 engine has a 5.5-liter twin-turbo gasoline V12 510 horsepower gem. The S Class offers the all-season all-road confidence of 4MATIC all-wheel drive. Amid an abundance of finely stitched leather and hand-polished wood the C Class is an environment where technology seems borne from nature. The central COMAND controller and high-resolution 8 inch display offer streamlined access to multiple features. Smart technologies like Attention Assist Adaptive Highbeam Assist and Night View Assist Plus all help guide you along the way. The S Class offers 10-way occupant protection through a sophisticated 8-airbag restraint system. Perhaps the only car in the world that doesn’t aspire to be something else. The 2011 Mercedes S Class.
