SPY: The 2013 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (W 222) in the latest collection of road scoops

Mercedes-Benz is still maintaining a complete secrecy over its brand new S-Class generation. Just to make sure the car is perfect when officially unveiled, the Stuttgart-based carmaker extended the development phase for the luxury limousine by more than nine months beginning with August 2012, which means we will likely see the finished product by May or June next year. The will to reveal the car at the most prestigious German motor show of 2013, the IAA Frankfurt in September, pushed the date so far ahead in the future and rose the anxiousness of clients and fans regarding the W 222.

Much has already been said about the design and technology of the forthcoming S-Class, many details are still to be learnt when the first official details are issued to the media. We already know the all-time king of the luxury class will be a clever vehicle, able to monitor every inch of the surrounding territory via intelligent multi-purpose cameras, to predict accidents and mitigate their effects, to communicate with other cars and offer full access to the internet via a comprehesive online integration and also to offer an enjoyable, yet frugal and environmentally-friendly ride.
