W221 S300L ... majestic Merc

I just love the S-class :-) Guess I will always remember my close encouter with one in Genting


Paultan.org , my favourite local resource for motoring news describes ...

DaimlerChrysler Malaysia launched the latest variant of it’s W221 S-Class in June 2007 - the Mercedes Benz S300L, with the L denoting a long wheelbase model.
The name S-Class is derived from the German word Sonderklasse, which means special class. And it is a car that will make you feel special indeed, as this S300L base model costs a cool RM639,888 on the road without insurance.

The S300L model is likely the model that most S-class buyers would buy in Malaysia, judging from the amount of S280 models on the road from the previous generation. The S300L takes the place of the S280 in DCM’s S-Class model line-up here. It is powered by a Mercedes Benz 3.0 liter V6 engine with a high 11.3:1 compression, putting out 231 horsepower and 300Nm of torque from a low RPM of 2,500.
