It would be an unfair understatement to attribute the success of the four previous generations of the S-Class primarily to the all-encompassing image of the good star on all roads. Inextricably linked to the fascination of the flagship product of the Mercedes-Benz brand are epoch-making innovations that these cars brought with them. Time and again, the factory has succeeded not only in placing the S-Class at the top of its own lineup but also, in many respects, at the forefront of automotive engineering as a whole. This book describes the S-Class sedans from 1965 to the W 140 series of 1991, featuring all the details and numerous illustrations - a complete documentation of Germany's prestige sedan No. 1.
