story by emercedesbenz.com - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER Although Mercedes' redesigned 2007 S-Class doesn't hit U.S. shores until early 2006, it has already received one of what is sure to be numerous accolades. In the upcoming "Best of What's New" issue of Popular Science due out in December, the 2007 Mercedes S-Class was chosen as the editor's pick in the "Cars" category. According to the press release, "It [Mercedes S-Class] sees at night, prevents accidents, and leaves most sports cars in the dust: The ninth-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class 550 is more than a simple luxury upgrade." If you're unfamiliar with the "Best of What's New" edition of Popular Science, the issue chooses the 100 best advancements in twelve different categories, including aviation and space, cars, computing, gadgets, as well as several others. In each category, one Grand Winner is selected, based on the fact they represent a significant leap over existing technologies. According to Mark Jannot, editor of Popular Science: "The Best of What's New awards honor innovations that affect the way we live today and change the way we think about the future." For more information on the "Best of What's New" award, as well as winners of the other categories, check out the full press release. CARS: 2007 S-Class (Mercedes-Benz) It sees at night, prevents accidents, and leaves most sports cars in the dust: The ninth-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class 550 is more then a simple luxury upgrade. Its Brake Assist Plus system uses long- and short-range radar to anticipate and avoid collisions -- or, at the very least, lessen the severity of a crash -- by automatically braking with full force if you don't step on the brake hard enough to stop in time. The car's Night View Assist shines infrared beams down the road to illuminate hazards that are beyond the reach of the headlight. A special camera on the rearview mirror reads the infrared and shows you a clear image of what's coming on an eight-inch LCD screen in the instrument panel. |
