As you've probably noticed, it's been a pretty busy day for Mercedes news - the confirmation of the F600 Hygenius, details on the new GL-Class...  I know, I know, you still want more.

You're in luck, my dear readers.  Today, AutoWeek has captured photographs of what it is calling a hybrid S-Class.  Although the hybrid S-Class is nothing new (it was unveiled at the International Auto Show earlier this year), what is interesting is the fact it's been seen testing in public.  Does this mean we can expect to see a hybrid S-Class made available for purchase in the near future?

One can only hope.

If you want to check out the full story on the hybrid S-Class sighting, you can find it here.

[UPDATE: When I originally posted this story, I said the hybrid S-Class was seen testing in the states; however, the vehicle was actually seen testing in Munich. I apologize for the error, and from now on I'll try to stop mixing alchohol with my writing.  Sorry, I jest.]
