Under the hood of every great Mercedes S-Class vehicle lies a powerful engine:

• The S430 Sedan comes standard with a 4.3-liter, 24-valve, V-8 engine that delivers 275 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and produces 295 pounds-per-foot of torque at 4,400 rpm.

In addition to these great engines, S-Class performance is enhanced thanks to precise handling, and the legendary Mercedes-Benz 5-arm, multilink rear suspension. Every S-Class review pays notice to these features, so we will, too.

The 2008 Mercedes S-Class family is packed with innovative extras and sporty details as well. On the outside, some of these features include:

• Hard-finished laurel wood trim



• Optional panorama sunroof

Inside, S-Class parts are similarly extravagant, and include amenities such as:

• Automatic dual-zone climate control



• Air vents for the rear passengers



• Multifunction steering wheel

With features like these, who needs bells and whistles? It's no wonder Mercedes-Benz experts have written 2008 Mercedes S-Class reviews equating these cars to pure luxury.

Finally, Mercedes-Benz takes pride in setting new safety standards all the time, and the comprehensive safety system in the 2008 Mercedes S-Class is just one example. For starters, active safety systems such as Brake Assist, antilock brakes, ESP with ASR Traction Control help you avoid collisions.
