This 510HP V12 Mercedes-Benz S600 is a Terrific Family Car or Private Jet Substitute *SOLD*

  • SOLD Reviewed today is this 2009 Mercedes-Benz S600, a rather incredible sedan with amazing performance figures for today, let alone a decade ago when it was made. Powered by a twin-turbocharged V12 putting out 510HP and over 600 lbs.-ft of torque, this 5000 lbs. car would rocket from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds (faster than a 911S) and do the quarter mile in 12.6 (as fast as a Lamborghini Murcialago of the same year).
    But what is the point of this (then) $150K Q-ship? Who would buy this thing, and why? The average S-Class buyer is 61 years old - is he really going to run these speeds on the open road? My friend Robert insists this car was made as a corporate jet replacement in Europe, where it makes more sense to hop in this thing and run 150MPH to the next major city in Germany than it does to go to the trouble of private air travel. I suppose that's a feasible enough explanation.
    Full review and test drive by Bill. SOLD

      My 2010 S550 ruined me for my other car, which was a 2002 BMW 3 series convertible. It was in mint condition. I had that car for 8 years. The lack of power and comfort made me sell it and pick up a 645Ci convertible. It's still not as comfortable than the S550 but the power is up there.

    Easily good for another 100k+ miles if you replace the gearbox oils. This did not need a MB workshop, only the oils need the right specifications. MB says, this is not mandatory, but experience shows it is. There are in reality also no long lasting motor-oils, motor-oil has to be replaced every 15k miles.

    Just FYI, the W220 was actually smaller in all dimensions than the W140. It was narrower not as tall and not as long it only offered more rear leg room over the w140 because the took up some slight trunk space with the rear seats. The W221 actually went back to the size of the W140 in its dimensions. And the current W223 that was just released is even bigger yet compared to the w221 And the w140. The new one is taller wider and longer and that’s even before you add the extra size from the new Maybach models who’s is EVEN bigger lol.
