The new Mercedes Benz S
Class has been awarded the "Golden Steering Wheel". With runners-up
places for both the B-Class and the M Class, Mercedes-Benz proved
the most successful brand in this long-established competition,
staged bythe German newspaper "Bild am Sonntag". Dr Dieter Zetsche,
Member of the DaimlerChrysler Board of Management and responsible
for the Mercedes Car Group, was awarded the "Honorary Steering
Wheel". The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class proved a runaway winner at the awards ceremony, staged by"Bild am Sonntag", Germany's highest-circulation Sunday newspaper, in Berlin this week. The jury, made up of celebrities such as the television presenter Barbara Schöneberger and racing drivers such as Hans Herrmann and Walter Röhrl, unhesitatingly awarded it the highest number of points in the "luxury class" category, ensuring that the new S-Class achieved the best result of any car in the 2005 awards. The new top-of-the-line model from the Stuttgart-based car manufacturer, which celebrated its European market launch at the end of September, supersedes its successful predecessor, the world's bestselling luxury saloon, with a sales total of around 500,000 models. Arriving in Australia next February, the new S-Class features a wealth of technical innovations as standard – from Brake Assist PLUS with its radar sensors to the infrared technology-based night view assist, from the upgraded COMAND system to the preventive PRE SAFE® occupant protection with additional functions, from Active Body Control to the dynamic multicontour seat with extended massage function – all of which make the Mercedes flagship a benchmark for car development as a whole. |
