Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Holding on to its classic and prestigious look, the S-Class sits right at the top of Mercedes-Benz’s sedan hierarchy. For 2010, aesthetic changes are minor and wisely implemented. A new hybrid version has been added to the S-Class’s engine line-up, which consists in three V8s and two V12s. The S65 AMG version is an absolute monster with its 603 horsepower dual turbo V12 engine. And its price follows accordingly, around 235,000$.
