Mercedes S-Class Archives

In 2020, Mercedes presented the W223 S-Class based on the second-generation MRA platform, which uses a four-link front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension. It is a powerful sedan for which the German company SMN Motors has prepared a special equipment kit and more power.

The carbon body kit includes a front splitter, intake bezels, side mirror housings, trunk spoiler and rear diffuser, a new stainless steel exhaust system, and 22-inch wheels. The brake calipers are in Royal Mint color, and the same shade was chosen for the upholstery in the interior. The S-Class is upholstered in a combination of Nappa leather and Alcantara covering the seats, door panels, dashboard, center console, steering wheel, pillars and roof. Also, customers can choose another color if they don’t like Royal Mint. For those who want a more luxurious interior, there is an LED ceiling.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Mercedes S-Class S580 4Matic is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine that now delivers 592 hp (435 kW) and 605 lb-ft (820 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard S-Class has 496 hp (370 kW) and 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) of torque.

The Mercedes S-Class, and especially the W140 generation, is considered the best of the Mercedes range in the twentieth century. One copy of the 1994 Mercedes S600 was covered in dust for eight years, but thanks to AMMO Studio, it was brought back to life.

YouTube channel AMMO NYC posted a video of the complete car cleaning process. This model is popular among collectors, as they are hard to find on the market, especially those with V8 and V12 engines.

The Mercedes S600 was not in bad condition considering that it had not been used for 8 years, but it was very neglected. Inside, the luxurious interior was covered in mold, while mice activity could be seen under the hood.

The first phase of the process involved removing the wheels and checking the undercarriage and engine compartment. The undercarriage and wheel arches were then washed to remove spider webs and dirt. The engine was also washed. A different combination of chemicals, brushes and sponges were used for each part of the car and that was just the beginning.

The second phase included cleaning the interior, vacuuming and brushing all panels. All surfaces are cleaned with steam, while the leather seats are washed with special detergents and disinfected. Then the car is completely polished.

Finally, they put fuel into a car and the test drive could begin. Outstanding work.
