Description
2001 Mercedes-Benz S600 Chassis no. WDB2201781A206254 - Delivered new in Switzerland - Impressive list of options - Only 130,748 km on the odometer - March 2024 Geneva State expertise - Offered with Swiss registration document With each successive generation of Mercedes-Benz cars, the Stuttgart manufacturer maintains its tradition of offering the very finest automobiles across a wide range of classes. Debuted at the Geneva Salon in March, the new W140-series was developed at a cost of over $1 billion and was unquestionably the most advanced motorcar on the planet when it came out. Offered in the US with a choice of a 3.2 liter V6, 4.2 liter V8, 5.0 liter V8 and a range topping 6.0 liter V12, standard equipment on these supremely well-appointed automobiles included a four-speed automatic transmission, traction control, double-paned glass, electronic stability control, and pneumatically self-closing doors. The S500 and S600 were electronically limited to a maximum speed of 155mph, surely fast enough for most mortals. In 1993 Mercedes-Benz changed the model designations of the 500SEL/600SEL to S500/S600. Often considered the last 'over-engineered' Mercedes, the W140-series is still believed by many to be the ultimate Q-Ship.
