A completely electric version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class could be on its way as the company�s technical boss recently hinted such possibilities. According to reports, the German company is planning to bring out the EV as apart of the next-generation S-Class lineup.
The company has already announced that it has invested $2.8 billion into developing eco-friendly hybrid versions of every model. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class electric is said to be a full electric model though, using no petrol or diesel hybrid assistance.
Mercedes-Benz technical boss, Thomas Weber, hasn�t ruled out the potential of an electric model, saying in a recent Autocar report, �At the moment, we are looking at customer demand�. Even without an electric variant, the new S-Class promises to be more fuel efficient across the range, with the introduction of the first ever four-cylinder S-Class on the list. Badged the S250 CDI, it will feature a 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine producing 150kW of power and 500Nm of torque. Other revisions to the new model include V6 and V8 MoVe petrol engines as well as a plug-in hybrid version. The new model is expected to debut some time in 2013.
