RENDERED SPECULATION: One Of The FIRST Realistic Takes On The Next-Gen S-Class - Does It Have You Wanting MORE Or Falling Asleep?

RENDERED SPECULATION: One Of The FIRST Realistic Takes On The Next-Gen S-Class - Does It Have You Wanting MORE Or Falling Asleep?
Once again, the very talented artist Wild-Speed is up to his/her good work yet again. Though the render we just presented -- of the C-Class -- is more of a speculative take, this Mercedes-Benz S-Class image is more of the real deal.

After flipping through the recent news, a couple of spy images popped up showing the new S undergoing testing. As far as I can tell, these images Wild-Speed mocked up are a damn good indication of what it will look like.

If you were expecting a revolutionary S-Class, prepare to be disappointed. Key differences will be predominantly subtle and the extreme changes will happen inside the S.

On the outside, expect the new "face" to benefit from a wider grill and new headlights that take a bit of creative license from the SL-Class -- note the LED strip on the inner portion of the housing.


The new S-Class is completing testing and will be revealed sometime later this year. In the meantime, our graphic design artist Wild-Speed has done his usual superb work in showing us what the finished product will likely look like. The new S-Class will likely be getting lights similar to the SL featuring LED's as is customary for new Mercedes models today as well as a new taillight design inspired by the CL.

Since you like Lexus you should probably not comment...nobody thinks Lexus knows anything about design

That was an idiotic thing to say, quite frankly.

Who is the douche designing their cars? Geezus.

Agreed... They put woefully misplaced 1st generation Ford Focus fenders on the current model and now this 'rendering' just looks drab, boring, uninspired and insignificant.

Given the design atrocities that are the current GLK, SL, and E-Class, chances are the next S-Class will also be less than aesthetically pleasing.

This is a RENDERING. I wonder how smart the people are commenting on this as if it were an official design from Mercedes. It's a RENDERING from some Photoshop artist. Nothing more.

You know, I can see this being plausible. The dimensions are a little off, but it looks like the incorporated the rear lights from the CL along with the front lights from the SL and gave it a slightly more aggressive/stately look for the front.

I am sure the final car will be an true S class and will continue as the King of the Hill ....

It looks like a pretty reasonable (and boring) rendering based on spy shots of the shape and the (not very attractive) SL front end. Bt really, other than the original CLS, have there really been any beautiful Mercedes in the past 20 years? Their designs are boring (S), derivative (C), uninspired (M), awkward (GLK), or poor interpretations of their glorious past (SLS).

People will buy a Benz no matter how it looks or how much it breaks. They just want a chicken foot on the hood....

The S class will look great. The bland A8 will make you fall asleep.

Tell Wild Speed that rendering actually gave me a good laugh. What puts me to sleep is the A8 and 7 series.

The Benz knows big saloons, and has kept the S-Class at the top since it was introduced.

No worries.

Wow!!! They actually went back to the 2000 S-Class design!

First, it's a rendering! not the final design.

Anyway, looks like a nice car for Grandpa!

They would never put wheels like that on an S-Class

proportions are off as well
