Looking at the picture above, I hardly managed to write few words because I couldn’t take my eyes off this impressive car. However, I had to write that Mercedes announced that they will launch as soon as possible the new S-class plug-in hybrid model, a car with a remarcable design and high efficiency on the road. Thomas Weber, said that they managed to boast a fuel efficiency of 80 mpg and emit less than 100g/km of CO2 due to weight reduction and aerodynamic improvements.
Mercedes also announced the posibility to launch an all-electric model. It’s possible that nowadays electric vehicle technology may not match with the comfort of the old S models. “It could be possible, but no!…Our customers expect a certain range and a level of comfort, safety and space; such things lead to a certain weight and that won’t mean a good [battery] range.” says Thomas Weber. This new S class will be launched together with the next generation of six and eight-cylinder petrol engines, will have direct injection and will be able of being turbocharged.
