The new Mercedes Benz S-Class won’t be ready to be revealed until 2013 at least, when it might be shown in China due to the importance of the local luxury market. The car will be a technological showcase, fitted with all the latest systems for comfort, safety and entertainment.
It’s believed the W222 generation will come with scanners to detect road imperfections, which will immediately update the suspension settings in order to keep the ride soft yet composed.
But the S-Class is also about the presence, the aesthetics and opulence that come with the owning the biggest Merc on the road. The shape of the new saloon has been teased today with photos of an exciting sculpture titled "Aesthetics S" along with a projection display to be shown at its Paris Motor Show stand at the end of September.
"The sculpture highlights the artistic aspects of design. With the design and proportions of "Aesthetics S", we are communicating a modern sense of status, sensual shapes and stylish sportiness," explains Gorden Wagener, Head of Design at Mercedes-Benz Cars.
"The characteristic lines of the S-Class have always represented the expression of automotive culture, as we understand it. The new S-Class will continue this tradition and, with its striking lines, will put a face to our design philosophy over the coming years,” said Wagner.
