Mercedes-Benz has always been a symbol of luxury, elegance and performance. With the vast range of cars, trucks, vans, engines and not to mention a Formula 1 racing team, it would be easy to lose sight of what it is that Mercedes do best. The launch of the latest evolution, the flagship S-Class saloon, soon brought that vision clearly back into focus. The S-Class Mercedes-Benz is simply an outstanding car. The levels of refinement, performance, comfort and design almost makes you forget that if you want to see what ‘everyday’ cars will be like in 10 years you need look no further than the latest technological innovations of the new S-Class.

Always pioneering, many of the Mercedes range (that almost stretches from A-Z!) feature technology and engineering that simply set the standard for others to follow. The folding hard top roof of the SL-Class is a prime example. Since its launch in 2002 it has taken years for others to catch up and mirror the technology that we now take for granted.
