Not even a year ago was the current S-class revealed, but Mercedes is already with his head in a successor. What it especially needs to be? Greener and lighter.

The current S-class is already pretty efficient, but there is, according to Mercedes still was a profit in the field of environmental friendliness. And so it will be the main focus in the development of a new variant. Hermann-Joseph Storp, chief engineer of the S-class, suggested during a persco in Geneva:

“We are starting now to think about what will come up for the next-generation of S-Class, we say ‘OK, what can be the next step? It may be that the next S-Class has more aluminium, or aluminium combined with plastics [CFRP], for example.”

To the S-class, World Car of the Year finalist, what excess body fat do lose is mainly focused on aluminium, or aluminium combined with plastics. The current limo carries already quite a bit more aluminum than its predecessor and the next model will that line be further extended.

“It’s one discussion we have with weight; the other is stiffness for the body, and reducing noise.The reduction of weight, CO2 reduction, the combination of a combustion engine with plug-in electrical power, new batteries… and drag coefficient to reduce it as far as we can – will again help the new S-Class.”

In terms of parsimony scores Das Haus at this time the most points with their hybrid engines for the S-class, which in the case of the S400 Hybrid, a litre of naft 12.2 km, with an emission of 186 grams per kilometre. Without a performance to deliver.

That is what. A self-propelled, ultra light, state of the art and ultragroene Merc-limo, which, of course, you can wirelessly update. And you are most likely to be in the possession of a healthy set of muscles. What do you think? (via Motoring)
