Unveiled at the 1968 Geneva Motor Show, this update of the 6-cylinder sedans from Mercedes-Benz quietly altered the
manufacturers future and stunned the public. While initially conceived as a private venture, the car quickly gained
support from company executives and Mercedes went on to produce just over 6,500 units. The adoption of the 6.3L
power plant from the 600 limousine (with 300bhp) drafted a new image for Mercedes and an iconic sleeper car was
born.
When released, the 300SEL 6.3 held the distinction of being the "fastest production sedan in the world." Despite
weighing nearly 4,000 lbs, the M100 engine could accelerate the bulky cruiser to 60-mph in 6.3 seconds and support
sustained speeds well in excess of 100-mph. With the list of factory standard items including 4-wheel disc brakes,
adjustable air-ride suspension, power windows and power steering, the capable cruiser quickly became a classic and
is still revered today for it's performance and comfort wrapped neatly in a timeless Paul Bracq ponton.
This particular car comes from the foothills just west of Denver out of a comfy and dry garage. Used, but not
abused, she boasts desirable and very presentable paint which is in strikingly good condition. With spectacular
wood and leather trimmings, the interior does not dispute originality. Light paint checking and age-brittled rubber
in the door jambs and heel pads marks the majority of flaws in this beautiful car. A recently completed service -
which includes new airbags on all four corners, and $17,000 in receipts - makes this car a ready driver for quiet
cruises down the boulevard or an evening on the town. This elegant sedan features all of the classic Mercedes-Benz
appeal... with a rather brute secret hidden under the right pedal

Mercedes-Benz S-Class presentation leaked, debuting in May
Fri, 22 Feb 2013WorldCarFans was reportedly sent what looks like a dealer presentation on the coming V222 series 2014 Mercedes-Benz S-Class. There have been hints for years as to the kinds of technology the world's best-selling large luxury sedan will contain, and it appears those hints had some foundation. To be shown in Germany on May 15 before a launch window that runs from September to November this year, the evolutionary design will be built of aluminum and steel, using that lighter material for the front end, roof and "detached body parts."
Among the new options buyers will be able to choose are the Rear Seat Package with rear seatbelt airbags and active buckles that extend, a Warmth and Comfort Package with heated seats front and back, heated armrests and side panels, and power rear seats with active ventilation and memory function. There's a chauffeur seating option that comes with 10-way adjustable rear seats, an extendable footrest and folding tables in the front seatbacks.
Blatant technology will be on display via two 12.3-inch screens, one for the dash cluster and one for the COMAND infotainment screen on the instrument panel. The third generation of Nightview Assist Plus will be able to detect animals as well as humans, and the next generation of Surround View will provide high-res views all around the car. A touchpad and a color head-up display will arrive in 2015. It will be the first Mercedes-Benz to utilize LED lighting everywhere, inside and outside the car.
Mercedes-Benz killing Maybach in 2013, replacing with S600 Pullman
Fri, 25 Nov 2011According to an unnamed Mercedes-Benz source speaking with AutoWeek, the German automaker is killing off its Maybach line in 2013.
The unsurprising news comes after the brand was resurrected in 2002, but failed to meet sales expectations with its two core models, the Maybach 57 and 62. Further solidifying its fate, a deal with Aston Martin to aid in the development of future Maybachs fell through earlier this year.
According to the AutoWeek insider, the plan is to continue to sell both Maybach models through the end of 2013, after which the fifth-generation S-Class will go on sale. When that happens, three new variants of the S-Class will be available, including an all-new, range-topping S600 that brings back the Pullman moniker and may be better suited to competing with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
2014 Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid for fat cats frugal with fuel
Thu, 12 Sep 2013Judging by how long we waited to get a clear shot of the Mercedes-Benz S500 Plug-in Hybrid, you'd have thought hybrid cars were only driven by Terminators and that the technology arrived only 48 hours ago through a wormhole in the Mercedes stand. The newest member of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class hybrid band - joining the S400 Hybrid and S350 BlueTEC Hybrid, it hits notes like a 5.5-second sprint from standstill to 62 miles per hour, up to 19 miles of ion-powered running and uses three liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers in Europe (78.41 mpg US, but our mpg test cycle is different than their mpg test cycle).
The lump up front is a turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6, the lump in back - note the reduction in trunk space - is a pack of lithium-ion batteries that juice an 80-kilowatt electric motor. Other than having four drive options for controlling electric drive and battery usage, it's all S-Class all the time, with leather-covered everything and those mountainous thrones that bring to mind words like "Archduke" and "Papal."
