With each successive generation of Mercedes-Benz cars, the Stuttgart manufacturer maintains its tradition of offering the very finest automobiles across a wide range of classes. Debuted at the Geneva Salon in March, the new W140-series was developed at a cost of over $1 billion and was unquestionably the most advanced motorcar on the planet when it came out. Offered in the US with a choice of a 3.2 liter V6, 4.2 liter V8, 5.0 liter V8 and a range topping 6.0 liter V12, standard equipment on these supremely well-appointed automobiles included a four-speed automatic transmission, traction control, double-paned glass, electronic stability control, and pneumatically self-closing doors. The S500 and S600 were electronically limited to a maximum speed of 155mph, surely fast enough for most mortals. In 1993 Mercedes-Benz changed the model designations of the 500SEL/600SEL to S500/S600. Often considered the last 'over-engineered' Mercedes, the W140-series is still believed by many to be the ultimate Q-Ship.

Delivered new in Switzerland on 21 March 2001, this car is finished in striking Tanzanite Blue Metallic paint with an Exclusive Leather Java interior, and comes with an impressive list of options, including proximity-controlled cruise control, Parktronic system (PTS), rear backrest adjustment and head restraints (electric), auxiliary heater, garage door opener, electric seat adjustment (also operable from the rear), automatic dimming inside and outside mirrors, elimination of type destination on trunk lid, sideward deletion of type designation on fender, memory package (driver seat, steering column, mirrors), wood selector lever, wood/leather steering wheel, COMAND, Linguatronic-Italian, deluxe front seats with ventilation and heating, comfort rear seats with ventilation and seat heating, multi-contour front left and right seats, electric tilt/slide sunroof in glass version, tire pressure monitor (TPM) high line/mid line, cylinder cut-out system (ZAS), ABC suspension (Active Body Control), electric roller blind for rear window, anti-theft/anti-break-in warning system, heat-insulating and infrared reflecting safety glass all around, headlamp cleaning equipment, xenon headlamps (right-hand traffic), 5-hole light alloy 8x18 wheels, high-capacity battery, fire extinguisher, wood trim in burled walnut root, change of model year (last figure showing new model year), sound system, remote control for radio/COMAND (OMS), CD changer, Nokia 6210/6310i mobile phone, analog TV tuner, heated screen wash system, interior safeguard, power closing system, Keyless-Go, and exhaust gas cleaning with EU4 technology (Euro 4).
