Hailed as two of the most important contributors to the modern automobile, Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach secured their place in history long ago. Their pioneering spirit lives on at Mercedes-Benz every time our engineers develop a new engine. Of course, developing new engines is always a challenge. Beyond maximizing power, it is also important to improve emissions and fuel consumption, as well as making the ride as smooth as possible.
Whether it's introducing aluminium silicon cylinder sleeves to help reduce friction, or producing a two-piece, die-cast engine block that provides exceptional strength, Mercedes-Benz stands at the forefront of engine technology by giving you smooth and immediate power delivery that will consistently take your breath away.
When it comes to the 2010 Mercedes S-Class you get more than just an engine. You get all our advanced performance systems working in tandem. And the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts.
