Because he did not sleep bureaucrats and oligarchs.

Over the past seven years mersedesovtsy done a lot of strange things. First, the company released the C-Class, whose interior has been made from recycled tarpaulin boots. With the updated "tseshka" mersedesovtsy corrected, but then presented a model of the A- and B-Class: their sidewalls have such a strange shape that the car look as if fallen from the transporter. And how do you six-wheeled G 63 AMG is twenty-four and a half million? Once he even armored Dartz The Black Snake with a two-year supply of caviar in the base does not seem anything out of the ordinary.

In Russia, in addition to S 500, also available version of the S 400 Hybrid and the S 63 AMG. The first is equipped with a V-shaped six-cylinder engine capacity of 3, 5-liter (306 horsepower) electric motor and 27 horsepower - this duo is able to disperse the S-Class to hundreds of 6, 8 seconds. Top version of AMG is armed V8 of 5, 5 liters of a pair of turbine - power means 585, 900 nm, and 4 or 4, 4 seconds to hundreds, depending on the type of drive. But all of them will be sold only in the long wheelbase version of the body.

But is a three-beam star dimmed lights? No, because the "Mercedes" is a S-Class - real Chuck Norris RV. For him, all the company's forgivable.

Design is good - it in moderation and elegance and nomenklaturschiny. A beauty ... it's just something! And with it that's what history. Not long ago, Mercedes-Benz said its super-premium brand Maybach «Goodbye," and executives immediately added that the S-Class will now be alone answerable for himself, and for late brother: he has to compete not only with Audi, BMW and Lexus - it would be good vytsepit several customers at Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Maserati.

Guess where is the BMW seventh and fifth series? Just not thinking! And you are able to distinguish from the Lexus GS LS? But with the "Mercedes" of the E- and S-Class do not have to think long.

Correct answers: Left - BMW 5-Series, Lexus LS and Mercedes-E-Class.



Therefore, instead of the usual motor show they stuck inside the S-Class interior of a small palace. And four small neat deflector in the center of the front panel, steering wheel with calligraphic inscription Mercedes-Benz in the bottom of the rim, two large 12 3-inch display (one instead of the dashboard, the second is responsible for the multimedia system), the almost complete absence of plastic in the design Interior and flavor with expensive perfume - now inside the S-Class luxury can be experienced with all five senses. To increase or decrease the intensity of blowing one of the vents, you should click on the recessed handle and rotate it. Nothing like? Yes this is a Rolls-Royce!

The number of adjustments have seats more than the number of floors in the Empire State Building: even the head - and those electrically. Each seat is ventilation, heating, eight massage modes (including two "hot"), dynamically change the lateral support and the profile. No seats, but real engineering masterpieces. And there are certainly many that to buy at least one, a typical mid-level managers have to sell its credit "Focus" and take out a mortgage.

Offered for a fee separate rear seats (they mersedesovtsy called not only as "a first-class seat") - and the truth is like a chair on intercontinental flights in business class. They are available in all the same infinite number of adjustments and massage, but in addition, rear passengers have a retractable footrest, individual monitors, holders with the function of heating and cooling, refrigerators, and other pleasures of life. And with the remote control boss can control virtually all the parameters of the car - even the driver knows the place.

About equipping cars talk makes no sense - there can be anything. Suffice it to say that in the S-Class has even heating ... armrests! And yes, cool Burmester audio system is also available, and in two variants - 640-watt 13-speaker 75 thousand rubles, or 1520-watt 23-speaker of 434,000.



All this, of course, very cool. But why in the long-wheelbase S 500, which is worth 5 million rubles, it is necessary to pay extra for the seemingly basic things? That trunk lid with electric drive - there is one in the base Audi Q5 for 1 million 800 thousand rubles. Or the engine start button - it is a long time in the "base" in the most simple machines, but the basic "five hundred" is not allowed. And from the look on the value of the options can be a heart attack. How do you, for example, folding tables for rear passengers 124 thousand rubles?

Rid newfound owner of the S-Class from the nervous tic after counting expenses may only how the most "es-class" drives. And he is going just great!

Eight biturbomotor of 4, 6-liter S version of 500 began 20 horsepower more powerful, and now develops 455 forces (torque - 700 Newton-meters). Given that the car itself became easier on 95 kgs, it can be dispersed to hundred for 4, 8 seconds (and this, incidentally, is almost the S 600 performance of the previous generation) and becomes a potential killer of the rear tires.

The drag coefficient of the S-Class in the most economical version of the S 300 BlueTEC Hybrid - record 0, 23. A little more, and a counter air will not slow down, and accelerates the car.

486 LEDs used for the headlights, tail lights and interior lighting

But it turns out that the traction control is set up perfectly: it allows the car to accelerate as quickly and scents motor hurl. At the start of "the floor" instead of the smoke from the wheels of the rear tires only emit silent mouse "pee-pee" - and the car smoothly, but damn quickly carried away ahead. However, what a S 500 from a standing start, the owner is likely to try once in your life - just to know what the money paid.

Because in real life, "five hundredth", as befits the S-Class, incites only to extremely smooth ride.

There are few cars in the world that are as thoroughbred follow the gas pedal - if you do not control a motor, and causes the Earth to spin toward the car. Transmission in the S-class, not the most recent, even seven-speed, but the predictability of its actions - a wholly-owned, and the work itself - a smooth and timely. No matter how fast you go - S-Class does everything Extremely smooth.



Basic air suspension is comfortable in the basic version, the S-Class but it still does not turn into a cow: in sport mode the shock absorbers had radically reduced body roll and swinging on the waves, and the wheel is always filled with significant informative force.

Inside a fantastically quiet - you do not even hear how you signaled the driver that you just trimmed. Vibro also on the level - when dented gather on asphalt, "es-class" pretends that nothing has happened. Moreover - for such a large car, he wonderfully managed. That's just what happened to the smoothness?

"Magic" hydraulic suspension Magic Body Control, designed to be a panacea for all the pits, surprised - tough! It is assumed that the S-Class with two cameras constantly scan the road ahead, determines the irregularities and prepares in advance the chassis for the upcoming "surprise". But in reality? In fact, it turns out that this system is well opposed to only small waves of asphalt and allows the S-Class to go in the corners without banks. In addition, the camera does not dismantle pits at night, in the rain and at a speed exceeding 130 kilometers per hour. No, in Russia is better to take a standard air suspension: it is really the perfect balance between handling and comfort.



But holes are for the S-Class is probably the most serious problem. After all, this machine can not be beat!

Do not try to look into this paragraph, a vote: Mercedes-Benz S-Class is equipped with a system Pre-Safe Plus, Pre-Safe Impulse, Intelligent Drive, Distonic Plus, Steering Assist, Stop & Go Pilot, Brake Assist Plus, Active Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, Night View Assist Plus, Attention Assist, Magic Vision Control, Active Blind Spot Assist, Active Parking Assist, Cross-Traffic Assist, Collision Prevention Assist, Traffic Sign Assist, Speed ​​Limit Assist. Plus banal stabilization system. Powerful?



Rate the attention to detail. Stoplights new S-Class is not only able to flash rapidly during emergency braking, but a little fade in traffic - not to dazzle drivers behind, you see.

In short, this thing can defend herself in a three-hour traffic jam, then rush 200 kilometers per hour on the highway: steer, brake and accelerate Mercedes will own! He will not let you be reconstructed in a passing car or go out to overtake if oncoming traffic is too close. He is able to see at night, headlights illuminate pedestrians and animals along the way (the latter does not shine into the eyes, so as not to run out of fright on the road), ottormazhivaetsya to pedestrians and traffic monitors side at roundabouts. Park S-Class, too self: self-spinning wheel, accelerates and brakes.
