We’ve seen the Mercedes S-Class standard wheelbase, the S-Class long wheelbase, for the speed hungry among you, the monstrously powered-yet-luxurious S63 AMG. But the fun doesn’t stop there, ladies and gentlemen, as there are even more variants of their top of the range Mercedes S coming.
Mercedes has confirmed that the S-Class range will be completed by six model variants, stating “there will be now three new models in addition to the short-wheelbase and extended wheelbase variants and the S-Class Coupe”. Why so many? With Maybach gone, Mercedes has opted to seek the same market share of the outgoing brand, and they’ve decided the standard wheel base isn’t going to do it.
In the latest spy photos, we see can see that Mercedes is adding an extra long wheelbase variant to the S-Class lineup. Unlike the upcoming S-Class Pullman, that will have 6 seats (formed by three rows of two), this new extra-long wheelbase S-Class sticks to the traditional two rear seats, but adds approximately 200mm over the conventional long wheelbase variant. Think of it as the middle ground between the long wheelbase S-Class and the S-Class Pullman. Hit the gallery below to see more.
