2000 Mercedes-Benz S600L Ex Sir Elton John

In July 1998, the W220 S-Class was completely restyled, with a body that was slightly smaller and lighter than its predecessor. The new S-Class incorporated styling cues first introduced on the Mk I A-Class the year before, with a renewed focus on elegance and style in a more rounded shape compared to the preceding W140. Despite being smaller, the W220 S-Class offered more interior space than the W140.

As with each new S-Class, the W220 brought in a number of innovations such as Airmatic air suspension and Active Ventilated Seats. A navigation system with centre console mounted screen display was introduced, along with the COMAND input control system. Other options included keyless entry and ignition, a radar-controlled Distronic cruise control system and a cylinder shut-off system called Active Cylinder Control.

The engine range started with smaller 3.2L 224 hp V6 motor, which was superseded by an enlarged 3.7 L 245 hp V6 in the S350. The S430 was powered by a 4.3 L 279 hp V8 and the S500 was powered by a 5.0 L 306 hp V8. The S600 was outfitted with the naturally aspirated 5.8 L 367 hp V12 engine.
