W220 S-Class
1999-2006
Some members of the automotive press frequently refer to the S-Class as "the best car in the world". The W220 S-Class is available in five models. The luxurious S430 and S500 are the most popular models. The high-performance S55 AMG, V12-powered S600, and incredibly powerful V12 powered S65 AMG round out the lineup. Regardless of the model, S-Class owners have come to expect class-leading luxury, convenience, performance, technology and refinement.
The S430 uses a 275-horsepower, 4.3-liter V8, while the S500 has a 302-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8. Both the S430 and S500 come fully equipped with Airmatic air suspension, GPS navigation, Tele Aid, full leather upholstery, Bose audio system, ESP Stability Program and sunroof.
The S600 is powered by a 362-hp 5.5 liter V12. The twelve is engineered to provide effortless thrust with previously unheard-of levels of refinement. The S600 features ABC active suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, greater levels of wood and leather trim, a suede-like Alcantara headliner, Parktronic, four heated and power-operated seats, four-zone climate control, CD changer and a digital cellular phone with voice control.
The S430, S500, and S600 can also be equipped with a Sport package. The Sport package adds high performance styling and handling, while maintaining the sophisticated silhouette expected of an S-Class. The Sport package includes an AMG-designed front spoiler, rear apron and side skirts. 8.5x18-inch front and 9.5x18-inch rear AMG Monoblock alloy wheels with 245/45YR18 front and 275/40YR18 rear high-performance tires are also included.
The S55 AMG sports sedan is powered by a supercharged 5.5-liter V8 engine. This engine is hand-assembled by AMG and develops 355 horsepower and 391 lbs.-ft. of torque. The S55 AMG delivers amazing performance. It accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and has a electronically limited top speed of 155 MPH. The S55 AMG is also classified as a Low Emissions Vehicle (LEV). Standard equipment includes ABC active suspension, unique 18-inch AMG Monoblock alloy wheels with high-performance tires, active ventilated/multicontour front seats, AMG aerodynamic enhancements, and a trunk-mounted CD changer.
The S65 AMG is the most powerful car in the lineup. It has a dual turbocharged six-liter V12 that's been hand assembled by AMG. This engine produces over 600 horsepower and over 700 lbs-ft. of torque. Envision all the luxuries of an S600, but in a car that handles better, stops better, and can do zero to sixty sprints in 4.2 seconds.
The W220 S-Class; performance, luxury, and the most advanced technology available.
