Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 2007 Mercedes-Benz S600 sedan.
Mercedes-Benz has always been proud of its S-Class. The company’s current website proclaims: “With every year, an S-Class represents not just the pinnacle of the automobile but the forefront. It’s thoughtful of its passengers. Keenly in tune with its driver. Highly protective of those within or even near its elegant presence. Everything that matters most to you, matters more than ever to the S-Class.”
Those same words held true even 16 years ago when this 2007 S600 sold new at a retail price of over $140,000. The original owner took delivery at Feldmann Imports in Minneapolis on December 23, 2006, with 20 miles on the odometer. Imagine how he or she must have felt to be driving away in such elegance and status. Now, after accruing 61,399 miles, this executive ride is back up for sale on AutoHunter.com with a clear title.
Though the S-Class’ roots can be traced as far back as the mid-1950s, the official S-Class branding started in 1972 when Mercedes-Benz rolled out the W116 lineup of luxury sedans. Beginning in 2007, the S-Class became based on the W221 platform. It had grown larger than its predecessor and came with more power, more luxury, and more technology than ever before.
Speaking of power, the engine that powers this car is a work of art: It is an M275 5.5-liter biturbo V12, and it was rated at 510 horsepower and 612 lb-ft of torque when new. According to some of the magazine reviews from the period, that powertrain made this car capable of hitting 60 miles per hour in fewer than five seconds. If you were ever running late for an important board meeting, this would be the car to make up for lost time.
Consistent with the car’s mission as the ultimate luxo-ride, the interior offers amenities such as a Harman Kardon LOGIC7 audio system, quad-zone automatic climate control, COMAND infotainment with navigation, Distronic Plus adaptive cruise control, and Night View Assist night vision. With that kind of list, it’s no wonder the car stickered for well into the six-figure range.
Now is your chance to secure it for a much lower price. The auction for this 2007 Mercedes-Benz S600 ends Wednesday, October 18, 2023, at 12:45 p.m. (PDT)
