W222 Mercedes Benz S-Class to be launched in Malaysia sometime in March 2014

To those CEOs, Chairmen of large multi-million Ringgit companies and other Captains of Industries (including those shady characters who get money through 'other' sources) take note that the W222 Mercedes Benz S-class will be launched sometime in March 2014. 

The model that would be brought in at the launch is the S400 Hybrid and it is rumoured to be in Semi-Knocked Down or SKD format. This simply means that some assembly of the car would be done at the Mercedes Benz assembly plant in Pekan, Pahang.

The S400 Hybrid is powered by a 3.5liter V6 engine that makes 302bhp /370Nm as well as a 27hp / 250Nm electric motor. It has a whole slew of advanced features that are the first in any vehicle. It is one heck of a vehicle and in my opinion beats the crap out of most of its rivals including those from the Bentley and Rolls Royce stable in terms of engineering and comfort,if not image (which isn't too shabby too). The best luxury car in the world would be finally be available to the towkays of this country.
