IAB translates the leaked 2014 Mercedes S Class's brochure from German to English
The next generation Mercedes S Class will be revealed on Wednesday but prior to the unveiling, detail after detail continues to seep into the public domain. Today we have the good fortune of showing you brochure scans of what arguably is the next path defining machine of the auto industry.
The all new S Class as you know by now, will not be a single luxury sedan, rather a series of cars with various body styles.
To cater to the Rolls' audience, there will be an even longer and more luxurious S Class Pullman that should at least have the Rolls Royce Ghost in its sights.
If you're after a luxurious two-door coupé, the S Class will have that as well. And for all those days where the sun is out and the temperature outside is perfect, wouldn't you like to drive a convertible? Why not a S Class convertible then?
The new S Class boasts of the Magic Body Control Merc has been raving about where a camera scans the road ahead and sets the suspension to the road conditions automatically. A new 2-spoke steering wheel has buttons to control the new central screen and cruise control.
