It allows the new S-class with the traffic keep up, come to a halt in a tie-up and then start the rollers again. It releases the brakes if a collision appears likely and turns even the flasher, if it occurs.

S550, could leave planned for the U.S. market, potential buyers, the is wondering why she would need something else. The Twin-Turbo 4, 5.7 liter V8 will start more than the direct competitors from BMW, Audi or Lexus - and enough, an impressive 455 HP and 516 pound-feet of torque - to the great Germanic sedan from 0 to 60 in just 4.8 seconds to pump out. This is almost a full second faster than the outgoing model.
Mercedes is not EPA mileage reviews but notes still discussing who should do it better than the outgoing S-class. This is partly due to lightweighting and extensive improvements in the areas of aerodynamics - and Mercedes says that wind drag a wee is now slightly better than a Toyota Prius.
