The engine line-up for the S-Class comprises of a V6, a V8 unit and a V12 petrol engine, along with a V6 diesel engine.

Our new generation of V8 petrol engines make their debut in the S 500. The new powerplant offers considerably higher output and torque than its predecessor, whilst reducing noise emissions.

The S 350 produces 350Nm of torque at 2400 - 5000 rpm, and an output of 272hp at 6000 rpm.

The V12 has a 5.5 litre displacement, angled cylinder banks and twin turbo chargers that generate 517hp at 5000 rpm in the S600 L, in a silky smooth fashion. Or choose the range-topping S 65 AMG version which produces 612hp at 4800-5100 rpm and 1,000Nm torque at 2000-4000 rpm. All this with barely a hint of combustion noise, no turbo whine and no vibrations.
