Creates magic out of thin air. Turns engineering into emotion.
Breathtaking breakthroughs. With its low-emission engines, advanced aerodynamics and air-cushioned ride, the S-Class is always driving the winds of change. Its
AIRMATIC suspension continually adapts to blend crisp response with velvety comfort, enhanced by Direct- steer —a system that eases parking effort while elevating
high-speed stability. Active Body Control (ABC, standard on the S600 and an S550 option ) is a state- of-the -art, fully active suspension that balances ride and handling

4-ETS continually redistributes the engine’s torque to the
wheels with the best grip—even if that’s only one wheel.
With a 45:55 front/rear torque split, the lightweight and
compact 4matic system enhances dry-road handling, too.
