The Back Seat Comes First
Mercedes-Benz S 580 4MATIC
The saloon every other luxury car is measured against, with the V8, all-wheel drive and a cabin built for the person behind the driver.
Some cars are bought to be driven. The S-Class is bought to be arrived in.
The S 580 4MATIC is the V8 S-Class: a 4.0-litre twin-turbo with EQ Boost, 496 hp, all-wheel drive and about four and a half seconds to 60. This one is obsidian black over black leather, on multi-spoke wheels, photographed on a palm-lined street in Beverly Hills.

4.0L twin-turbo V8 with EQ Boost · AWD
The ride is the first thing anyone notices. The S-Class soaks up the joins on the 405 and the speed humps of a Bel Air side street the same way, and the cabin is quiet enough at seventy to hold a phone call without raising your voice.
Up front, a tall portrait screen sits in the middle of the dash, the driver has a digital cluster under its own hood, and a strip of ambient light runs along the dashboard and the doors. The seats are black leather with deep vertical pleats, and a glass roof stretches over both rows.
Behind, the bench has real legroom and its own climate, which is why the S 580 is the car for the LAX pick-up that has to go right, a week of meetings between Century City and Downtown, and a wedding where the couple leave in something that looks like the occasion.
Book it by the day: the deposit is held on the card rather than charged, and the car arrives hand-detailed at your hotel, your home or the terminal.
Quiet at seventy.
Calm at every speed below it.

More about the Black Mercedes S 580
The S 580 or a Maybach?
The S 580 is the S-Class most people mean: the V8, the long body, the back seat with room to stretch. If the day is about being driven in the most comfortable seat on the road, the Maybach GLS 600 has two reclining rear seats; if it is about the newest design, the BMW 760i is the 7 Series with the V8.
