The flagship, petrol-powered S-Class is a vanishing breed. Better enjoy while we can...
The dawn of a new Mercedes S-Class is a special moment in the automotive calendar. Often, it's the point at which science fiction becomes reality, as a raft of future technology is tacked onto the present day, setting the roadmap of things to come for us all. Inevitably, the thinking goes, all this stuff will filter down to all classes of car . So it's relevant to everyone.
For me, the engine is a huge asset. It's never less than silky, from the moment it fires to when it's racing at peak revs. And in between those phases it's dripping with effortless torque that hurries you along with minimal fuss. And the best way to describe the gear changes from the nine-speed auto is liquid - they drip through like your morning coffee out the percolator. It doesn't just do smooth and effortless, mind.
The refinement is also good - but not perfect. It is quiet, but I suspect not quite as serene as an Audi A8 at 70mph. Why? Well, the slight wheel castellation that generates a background resonance from the rear; the occasional twang from the suspension over rough ground; the light flutter of wind noise from the mirrors. In any other car, these wouldn't be noteworthy, but when your name is Sonderklasser, you set yourself up to be judged on a higher level.
