2000 Mercedes-Benz S 500 (ZAS) W220 (Automatic / 5 Gears) RWD [1998-2002]

The 2000 Mercedes-Benz S 500 (ZAS) represents an innovative effort to increase efficiency in the W220 S 500 phase-I series by introducing the Zylinderabschaltung (ZAS) system. This technology allows the 5.0-liter V8 (M113) engine to automatically switch off four of its eight cylinders while driving at low load, significantly reducing fuel consumption without sacrificing the refinement expected of an S-Class. Although the maximum power undergoes a slight drop to 299 HP compared to the standard version, this model remains an extremely fast and technologically advanced vehicle, offering a royal ride thanks to the Airmatic suspension and excellent acoustic insulation.
