According to these pictures, a new Mercedes S-Class is on the way, and reports say that it is going to be loaded with hi-tech equippment and gadgets.
One of them would be the 6D-Vision which is a system designed to spot pedestrians and cyclists appearing from behind parked cars, and which is able to activate emergency braking in 200ms, while the average human will take 500 milliseconds to process that information.
Another gadget would be the Magic Body Control (MBC), which is a system designed to improve comfort. This set-up scans the road ahead and adjusts the suspension accordingly to help soak up and rough roads. There’s also a system that can counteract body-roll for better handling.
As far as the interiour is concerned, Mercedes-Benz made it very futuristic, with large TFT screens and digital dials. Radar guided cruise control, lane keep assist, blind spot warning, night vision cameras and automatic braking systems will all be fitted.
And of course, the engine line-up, which isn’t inferiour, will feature the V6, V8 and even V12 engines, which are more than efficient and filled with gadgets like cylinder deactivation, stop/start and mild-hybrid systems to pass strict EU6 regulations. The most basic models are expected to be producing around 300bhp and hot AMG models with over 650bhp.
This new Mercedes S-Class is expected to arrive sometime midway through 2012, and closely to be followed by a two-door coupe and even a convertible version.
