The new Mercedes S-Class will remain the V12 engine

The new-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan flagship with index W223 will retain a powerful 12-cylinder unit.

According to rumors, the S-Class premiere is planning for September.

The creation of the S-Class started five years ago. The development of the flagship goes the road, but after some time, the leading technologies will appear in the future "juniors" of Mercedes.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class W223 will be available with rear and all-wheel drives. The sedan will have the V12 engine, which works with a 4-wheel drive version (4Matic system). The "charged" version of the AMG S65 should not be expected, which is why the 12-cylinder engine will be available only in a luxurious version from Maybach and in the armored Pullman.

We add that the electric power at the sedan corresponds to the autopilot of the 3rd level.
