Mercedes-Benz will launch the all-new W222 series S-Class in Delhi today. We expect Mercedes to price its flagship sedan around Rs 1.3 crore ex-showroom for the S500. It will be available in one version only at the launch.

The S-Class has a 24 speaker 1540 Watt Burmester 3DSurround system that comes with a 250GB hard disk for all your media storage. It is packed to the brim with so many features that you will have to read our S-Class review for a detailed report on the ‘Best car in the World.

The S500 is powered by a 4663cc V8 twin-turbo petrol engine mated to a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox. It develops 469PS of peak power and 700Nm of torque and has a limited top speed of 255Kmph. Mercedes-Benz claims that the new 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class consumes atleast 20% less fuel as compared to its direct predecessor.

The S-Class in its latest form takes a huge technological leap from its predecessor. The car doesn’t have a single conventional light bulb which are instead replaced by LEDs, the regular car battery is swapped for a lithium-ion one and you can get six different 15 minute massages sitting inside the car.
