The 2005 Mercedes-Benz S 500 marks the culmination of the W220 S 500 phase-II series, combining the legendary 5.0-liter V8 (M113) engine with the new 7G-Tronic gearbox . This revolutionary 7-speed transmission not only significantly improved acceleration, making the 306 hp engine more reactive, but also reduced fuel consumption on long journeys. As one of the latest models of this generation, it benefits from the maximum refinement of the facelift process, offering an extremely sleek driving experience thanks to the Airmatic suspension and a cabin enriched with the latest technology of the time, while remaining the symbol of authoritarian German luxury.
