The Mercedes-Benz S Class has been a benchmark for a full-size luxury sedan for nearly as long as it has been in existence. Embarking deep into all that the latest iteration of the S Class has to offer Mercedes realizes that many still want a V8-powered S Class despite the valid efforts of bringing us some enthusiastic electric vehicles like the new EQS and its AMG versions.
