1:64 Mercedes S-Class Tarmac Works

Every safety feature in your current car — airbags, ABS, ESP, seatbelt pretensioners — was first tested in the S-Class before it became standard equipment. Since 1954, the S-Class has been Mercedes's rolling R&D lab for the entire automotive world. The current generation has a rear-axle steering system that turns the back wheels in the opposite direction at low speed to reduce the turning circle. It's longer than some studio apartments.

Curator's Note

The S-Class is the anchor of any luxury collection — not the flashiest, but the one that grounds everything. Display it centre-shelf. It's earned that.
