Questions and Comments
Technik: Nachdem die S-Klasse beim vorhergegangenen Generationswechsel geschrumpft war, da das Modell der Baureihe 140 wegen seiner enormen Maße in Europa als unzeitgemäß empfunden worden war, wurde nun ein nach Maßen nur wenig, optisch aber deutlich größeres Auto vorgestellt, mit dem die Daimler AG (bis 2007 DaimlerChrysler) vor allem in Nordamerika und in China höhere Verkaufszahlen erzielte. Der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt wurde die Baureihe 221 erstmals auf der IAA im September 2005, die Auslieferung erfolgte ab Herbst desselben Jahres. Zur Markteinführung waren nur die beiden Modelle S 350 (L) und S 500 (L) mit Ottomotor verfügbar. 2006 wurde die Modellpalette um den S 300 L (nur für Asien), den S 450 (L) und den S 600 L erweitert. Gleichzeitig wurden auch die Topmodelle S 63 AMG (L) und S 65 AMG L des Haustuners AMG eingeführt. Ab 2006 waren auch die beiden Dieselmodelle S 320 CDI (L) und S 420 CDI (L) verfügbar. LG Tom
