Mercedes-Benz S600

Mercedes-Benz stands apart from almost all the rest of the luxury car industry in that it has every kind of luxury imaginable: from entry-level luxury all the way up to ultra luxury and from sports cars to touring cars, Mercedes-Benz has it all. The ultra luxury Mercedes-Benz model is the S600. The most recent S600 was unveiled at the 2005 Detroit Auto Show, but it has been somewhat redesigned for the 2007 year. Although the S600 has the luxury essentials such as high grade wood and leather, it lacks no power, because of its twin-turbo V12. In add to the visible touches like the wood, the S600 has side bolsters which can inflate to keep the driver in the same position. Also, the dashboard has a slot to accept memory cards to play music. If the buyer lacks one of these cards, have no fear because one of the S600's options is iPod integration. To help keep all of this luxury safer, the S600's rear lights flash when the driver needs to brake in an emergency. The sunroof and windows will also close if the car senses possible rollover conditions. All this married to the extremely powerful V12 engine definitely makes the Mercedes-Benz S600 one of the most exquisite ultra luxury cars yet. Performance
