Officially unveiled in May 2013, the 6th generation of the S-Class had a more streamlined appearance. Some interesting features include a large font grille and LED lights used exclusively inside and out - a first in the automotive industry. Two strong converging character lines give the flanks a more sculpted look. A choice of engines included a S 350 BlueTEC diesel, a hybrid S 400 and a S 500 Plug-in Hybrid introduced in 2014. An AMG modified V8 bi-turbo and V12 bi-turbo were offered in the S 63 and S 65 respectively, this being the last and most exclusive (only 130 ex produced) as indicated by its name.

This is the facelift version ("MOPF") of the W 222 S-Class. The S 500 is powered by a twin turbo 3.0L V6 engine (which is a downsizing from the previous 4.7L V8). Gone are the times where you could expect a full-size engine in a Mercedes named "500".

There are indeed several Mercedes S-Class models that were extended in the style of the Mercedes 600 Pullman. Apparently, there remained a certain demand for such luxury limousines, even after production was stopped in Sindelfingen. They seem to compete in luxury and extravagant equipment. With a length of 6.998 mm, this is the longest one we could find. It was built by one of the most productive tuners, especially when it comes to Mercedes : Schulz Tuning. He created the most diverse models, preferably bearing the star, ranging from a Golf clone based on a Mercedes 190 to an entire series of G-Class off-road vehicles with 6 wheels, long before Mercedes did it themselves.
