W221 S450 4-Matic?

[TheIntrepid]

This is odd, I never knew they had anything below the S550 here.

The S450 4MATIC is equipped with a V-8 engine that generates maximum power of 335 hp, paired with 339 lb-ft of torque. These outstanding performance figures are enabled by ingenious tumble flaps in the intake passages near the combustion chamber which helps improve engine torque while also increasing fuel economy.

For smoother power delivery, the V-8 engines are also equipped with four valves per cylinder. Variable camshafts and the use of lightweight materials such as magnesium result in an optimized power output and a broader torque curve, thus reducing fuel consumption even further.

# 335-hp 4.6-litre DOHC V-8
# 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission
# 4MATIC? permanent all-wheel drive
# 18" 5-spoke aluminium-alloy wheels
Starting at: $108,000.00 (CAD)

The S450 is always compared to the Lexus LS460 here in Europe. Fact is the LS460 can't touch the S550.

Short wheelbase?

There's no 450 here.  Weird, as they used to do an S430.
