The new Mercedes-Benz W220 replaced the old one and became smaller but more spacious inside than its predecessor. From the outside, the car has become rounder, with softer shapes (the old one has been criticized for its very large dimensions and "heavy" design), the interior is also dominated by soft lines, and the instrument panel is similar to the 1997 Mercedes-Class. The car has become elegant and modern. In many European countries, the diesel version of the S320 CDI has become the most popular model. It is the largest Mercedes model and is the most sought after luxury sedan in the world. As the company’s flagship, various innovations were mostly applied in the S-Class. An extremely powerful version of the S65 AMG was produced and introduced in 2005. This monster is powered by a Bi-Turbo 6.0 L engine with 612 hp (456 kW) and an incredible torque of 1000 Nm! It is the most powerful S-Class model, as well as the most powerful five-seater sedan in the world.
