An all-new ninth-generation S-Class bows for 2007. The model range starts with the S550 which is powered a new 5.5L V-8 producing 382-bhp/391 lb.-ft. This new engine finally has DOHC 4-valve heads and variable valve timing, unlike the SOHC 3-valve head V-8 engine in the previous generation car. The V8 is mated to a 7-speed automatic. At the upper end, the S600 and S65 AMG models feature V12 power trains with 5-speed automatic transmissions. The new styling features more angular and taut surfaces than its predecessor does and the overall effect is vaguely reminiscent of the Maybach sedans. A redesigned interior now has increased shoulder and elbow room and a host of new electronic features.
