The new Mercedes-Benz S600 will be launched worldwide in early mid-2014 in long wheelbase form as standard and will be fitted with Mercedes' new technology including Magic Body Control (which is controlled by sensors which scan the surface of the road ahead and send information to the suspension control system) as well as driver support technology including pedestrian recognition.
