The 1993 Mercedes-Benz S 600, known as the “king of the road,” marks the point where luxury and technological power reached their peak for the W140 (Phase-I) series. With the change of the naming system in June 1993, the former “600 SE” took the name S 600, but retained its legendary heart: the 6.0-liter V12 (M120) engine with 48 valves. This engine was so sophisticated that it later served as the basis for the Pagani Zonda supercar. At 394 HP and a power fluidity that resembles the silk movement, the S 600 offered total insulation from the outside world, thanks to double glazing and a complex ADS suspension system. Every detail, from the highest quality leather to the use of exotic wood, proved that this was the best machine money could buy at the time.
